Abstract: A method and a display for elevator allocation evaluating are provided. When an elevator allocated to a hall call is selected by employing two different view points such as a real and a future call evaluation index, an elevator allocation reason and a balance between the two view points can be easily grasped. An elevator allocated to a hall call is evaluated on orthogonal coordinates in which the real call evaluation index and the future call evaluation index are defined as an X and a Y coordinate axis. Evaluation indexes of first to fourth elevator cars are evaluated by employing contour lines of a synthetic evaluation function, which is represented as the real and the future call evaluation index. A weight for allocating is displayed visually.

Abstract: A perceived waiting time for a hall call to be answered by a car is determined as a constant times the square (46) of the summation (45) of remaining response time (39) and the amount of time that has expired since the call was registered (38). The time that may be perceived by a passenger to travel to the passenger's destination is determined as a constant times the square (51) of the distance between an estimated destination floor and the floor of the call and a constant times an estimated number of new hall stops and committed hall stops that each car will make (47). Perceived service time is (52) the sum of perceived wait time and perceived travel time. Constants are adjusted so that a long waiting time will yield a quick travel time. Assignment of calls to cars (60) is in accordance (61) with the smallest summation of square (59) of perceived service times for all waiting up calls and down calls.

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: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for use in elevator systems for assigning new hall calls to one of a plurality of available elevator cars. According to the invention, a call cost is calculated for each car for accepting the new hall call. The call cost is a function of the estimated time to the desired destination of the passenger requesting the new hall call and of the delay that other passengers who are using the elevator car will experience. In one embodiment, a destination is inferred for the passenger requesting the new hall call. In another embodiment, the passenger requesting the hall call may input a desired destination at the time the hall call request is made. The elevator system of the present invention allows for use of both standard up/down hall call entry devices and destination entry devices that allow a particular destination to be entered by a passenger at the time a hall call is requested.

Abstract: An controlling apparatus for a double deck elevator is disclosed. An allocation control unit (5), when a predetermined specified floor is registered in an elevator hall call registering unit (4) in a double operation mode, makes both of upper and lower cages of each double deck elevator respond thereto. Each cage call registering unit (9) is capable of registering a cage call to both of the upper and lower cages in the double operation mode as far as the specified floor is concerned. An operation control unit (8) in each elevator controls operations of the upper and lower cages to respond to the elevator hall call to the specified floor which is allocated by the allocation control unit (5) and to a cage call to the specified floor which is registered in the cage call registering unit (9).

Abstract: A system for allocating hall calls in a group of elevators includes a plurality of neural network modules to model, learn and predict passenger arrival rates and passenger destination probabilities. The models learn the traffic occurring in a building by inputting to the neural networks traffic data previously stored. The neural networks then adjust their internal structure to make historic predictions based on data of the previous day and real time predictions based on data of the last ten minutes. The predictions of arrival rates are combined to provide optimum predictions. From every set of historic car calls and the optimum arrival rates, a matrix is constructed which stores entries representing the number of passengers with the same intended destination for each hall call. The traffic predictions are used separately or in combination by a group control to improve operating cost computations and car allocation, thereby reducing the travelling and waiting times of current and future passengers.

Abstract: An elevator control apparatus capable of predicting reversion floors of elevator cages accurately. The control apparatus comprises a neural network, in which traffic state data are fetched into the neural network, so that predicted values of floors where the moving direction of each cage is reversed are calculated as predicted reversion floors. In the elevator control apparatus, reversion floors near true reversion floors can be predicted flexibly correspondingly to traffic state and traffic volume.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for group-supervising an elevator system according to this invention consists in predicting the position of operating cages after the lapse of a predetermined time, detecting an unoccupied cage and tentatively setting the standby position thereof, so as to predict the position of unoccupied cages after the lapse of the predetermined time under the condition that the detected unoccupied cage is run to the set position and is caused to stand by there, predicting, from the positions of the cages, the number of cages which will lie in certain floors or certain floor zones after the lapse of the predetermined time and estimating the numbers of cages in association with the floors, whereby the floor in which the unoccupied cage is to stand by is selected.
