Abstract: In this paper we discuss a deterministic model for computing the capacity of the escalator in London Underground. We develop this model from fundamental principles of engineering by separating the capacities of standing and walking side of the escalator. By collecting real world data, we find the accuracy of this capacity computation. We also develop a multiple regression model that considers the effect of rise of the escalator with the capacity. We discuss the technical and behavioural reasons for differences in capacities of two methods.
