How to Use This Calculator

Enter the Car Width and Car Depth in inches to define the cab dimensions.
Input the Door Clear Width and select Door Type (center-opening or side-opening).
Set the Control Panel Height and Door Dwell Time (seconds).
Review the ADA Compliance Score (%) and any specific items flagged for correction.
Cross-reference with ADA Standards for Accessible Design Section 4.10 before permit submission.

How the result changes with Car depth (inches)

Car width (inches): Interior width of the elevator car in inches.
Car depth (inches): Interior depth of the elevator car in inches.
Door clear width (inches): Clear opening width of the elevator door.
Door type: 0 = Center-opening (min 80" wide car), 1 = Side-opening (min 68" wide).
Control panel height (inches): Height of highest operable button from car floor.
Door dwell time (seconds): Time doors remain open at each stop.

ADA compliance (%): Percentage of ADA checks passed (100% = fully compliant).
Width compliant: 1 = meets minimum width requirement, 0 = non-compliant.
Depth compliant: 1 = meets minimum 51" depth, 0 = non-compliant.
Door width compliant: 1 = meets minimum 36" clear door opening, 0 = non-compliant.
Controls compliant: 1 = button height within 35"-48" range, 0 = non-compliant.
Door dwell compliant: 1 = door dwell time >= 3 seconds, 0 = non-compliant.
Wheelchair turning OK: 1 = sufficient space for wheelchair turning, 0 = insufficient.
Car area (sq ft): Interior floor area of the elevator car.
Stretcher capable: 1 = can accommodate a stretcher (24"×84" clear), 0 = cannot.
