BEST ELEVATOR KEYPAD LAYOUT REGISTRATION
Registration feedback should be presented to confirm that the user's input has been registered by the lift system.īuilding users need to be able to see the indicator showing which lift to take. Not all building users will be able to remember their desired floor level and therefore confirmation near the lift is important.Ĭall point buttons should be easy to identify, within comfortable reach of all users, of adequate size and simple to understand and operate. Glass-walled lifts may however be preferred by people with hearing difficulties, as they can sense space beyond the elevator car, particularly in the case of a malfunction. They can also present issues for those who have a vision impairment. Glass-walled lifts can be a source of extreme anxiety for people with vertigo who may not use them under any circumstances. Some building users may not be able to stand for any period of time and therefore seating and handrails within the lift lobby are desirable. The approach to landings needs to be step-free, give good visibility and wheelchair turning space.
The design of the lift should accommodate its convenient and easy use by all building users.
