Abstract: A method and a system for entering a destination floor call, for storing the call data of a destination floor call entered by the user, for allocating an elevator car to the user on the basis of the landing call data of the destination floor call and for transmitting a car call to the elevator car when the elevator is arriving at the landing. In the method, the user inputs a destination floor call using a destination call device. The destination floor call can be stored in the memory of the destination call device, in which case the call data transmitted to the control system comprises only the landing call, i.e. information specifying the user's starting floor and whether the destination floor given by the user is in the upward or downward direction. The destination floor call can also be transmitted directly to the elevator control system, which stores the call data of the destination floor call in the memory of the control system. The control system allocates an elevator suited to the user's requirements on the basis of the landing call data of the destination floor call. When the elevator car allocated to the user arrives at the floor, the control system transmits the a car call to the elevator serving the user.

Abstract: An elevator group control apparatus collectively controls an elevator system where at least two cars can travel in each shaft independently of each other. The apparatus has a destination floor registration device installed at each hall for passengers to register destination floors and to indicate to passengers which cars will serve respectively for the registered destination floors. Priority zones and a shared zone for upper cars and for lower cars are set; judgment is made as to whether the shared zone set can be entered by an upper or lower car; a car is put on standby based on the judgment a car is sent to a withdrawal floors, as necessary, after a service is completed. A car is selected as a candidate for assignment to a destination call if, according to the destination to be served by each car and the zones set for each car, so that the car would cause neither collision nor safety stop; and a car is assigned based on the selection.

Abstract: A device for controlling a elevator installation with multiple deck cars which are simultaneously accessible at a main stopping point by different main stopping floors includes a call registering device by which a passenger can input a destination floor. In order to enable a more rapid filling of the building, a conversion unit responds to the destination call travel orders already allocated to and/or demanded of the multiple car having the deck which is to be allocated to the passenger to minimize the number of stops of the car. An indicating device indicates to the passenger the allocated car deck and/or the main stopping floor thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling an elevator installation with at least one shaft and a number of cars, it being possible to make at least two cars travel separately up and down along a common traveling path and a passenger being able to enter a destination call by means of an input unit disposed outside the shaft and the destination call being allocated to a car in dependence on an allocation assessment. To develop the method in such a way that the transporting capacity can be increased, with the cars which can be made to travel along a common traveling path hindering one another as little as possible, it is proposed according to the invention that, in the case of allocation of the destination call to one of the cars which can be made to travel along the common traveling path, the portion of the traveling path required for serving the destination call is assigned to this car and blocked for the time of the assignment for the other cars. Furthermore, an elevator installation for carrying out the method is proposed.

Abstract: A rule base storing control rule sets simulates the behavior of each car of an elevator system in real time by assigning scanning to each car which is caused to run until the direction of running is reversed, while applying a specified rule set in the rule base to the current traffic condition, and predicts group supervisory control performance upon application of the specified rule set. In response to the results of performance prediction, an optimal rule set is selected and a real time simulation can be carried out during a group supervisory control operation, so that group supervisory control can be performed on multiple elevator cars while applying the optimal rule set at all times, thus providing excellent service.

Abstract: An elevator system for a multistory structure having a plurality of elevator shafts is shown which includes at least one independently movable elevator car in each elevator shaft. A digital computer with memory is used to control elevator cars including the dispatch of cars from terminal floors. A daily control parameter table in memory identifies a plurality of different methods of scheduling dispatch of elevator cars from terminal floors, groups of floors to be serviced by each elevator car, and cars in a shaft to be coupled for tandem operation. The memory is periodically read for selecting for each elevator car one of said methods of scheduling dispatch and for identifying the group of floors to be serviced by the cars. The selected method of scheduling the dispatch of cars is implemented and cars are limited to servicing the selected group of floors. One method of scheduling dispatch includes obtaining a measure of estimated passenger demand for travel in one direction that is incapable of being met by cars currently in service. A passenger loading threshold limit for travel in the one direction is selected which may range from zero to maximum capacity of the elevator car to be dispatched. When the measure of estimated passenger demand for travel in the one direction that is incapable of being met by cars currently in service equals the passenger loading threshold limit a car dispatch signal is issued for dispatch of a car from the terminal floor. Where a plurality of independently-operated cars are included in a hoistway, operation in either a coupled or decoupled manner is provided.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling an elevator group including several elevators and related call devices which controls each elevator in a manner determined by the calls entered and the existing control instructions. When the control system has to decide between two or more control alternatives, a systematic decision analysis is performed by studying the effects resulting from each alternative decision, the effects resulting from each alternative decision, the effects being estimated by simulating by a Monte-Carlo type method the future behavior of the elevator system in the case of each alternative decision. To carry out the simulation, realizations are generated at random for the unknown quantities associated with the current state of the elevator system and for new external future events, and a control decision is made on the basis of the results of the decision analysis.
