How do people in wheel chairs and crutches reach different floors? If there is a handicapped or moving elevator as well, and if there is an auto-stop mechanism

How do people in wheel chairs and crutches reach different floors? If there is a handicapped or moving elevator as well, and if there is an auto-stop mechanism if someone's foot is stuck between lift and ceiling, then I see no reason why these shouldn't be in every office building or condo. They are clearly way more time efficient.
- Asbostos 11y agoI don't think they're clearly more efficient. For a tall enough building, or low enough traffic, what you save in waiting time, you'd lose in the slower travelling speed.
- 3pt14159 11y agoWell, if I had access to Windows I could quickly tell you the bounds of where it is more efficient by using this: http://www.ezstrobe.com/ http://www.ezstrobe.com/ and assuming different types of arrivals (stochastic, etc). But I don't have Windows and I just learned one of my favorite professors died (it's listed on the website) so now I'm sad. Maybe later I'll port to linux.
