Document summary
While research has previously been undertaken on user interaction with stairs, the design and specification of escalators has been based primarily on the engineering skills and knowledge of manufacturers, rather than user experience. The aim of the project was to evaluate evidence that can be used to underpin the decisions necessary to manage the safety risk to people, particularly in the transport and retail fields, using escalators.
