Abstract:
Provided is a group management control device for elevator in which the occurrence of useless waiting time and lateness for boarding is reduced even when there is a difference in the distance from a hall call registration device to each car. For this purpose, the group management control device for elevator which manages a plurality of elevators as a bank includes a hall call registration device, a walking time prediction section which predicts the walking time of a user on the basis of the distance from the hall call registration device to each of the elevators, and a hall call assignment section which decides an elevator to be assigned to a hall call on the basis of an evaluation value calculated by using the predicted walking time. The plurality of elevators which are managed as a bank are divided into a plurality of groups according to the distance from the hall call registration device. The walking time prediction section predicts the walking time for each group by using the same value preset as the distance for the elevators belonging to the same group.
Abstract:
In an elevator system which performs a standby operation for causing an elevator car to be on standby at a prescribed parking floor, an increase in the number of runs and the running distance is prevented and energy consumption is reduced. This elevator system is provided with a remote hall call registering device by use of which an elevator passenger performs a hall call registration in a position at a prescribed distance from a hall. Moving time comparison means compares the predicted moving time Te of the elevator car with the predicted walking time Tw in the case where the floor on which a remote hall call registering device is installed is set as a parking floor. Standby operation go/no go determination means makes a determination as to whether or not to perform a standby operation on the basis of the result of the comparison of the moving time comparison means, and carries out a standby operation after responses to all calls have been finished only in the case where the standby operation go/no go determination means made a determination to the effect that a standby operation should be performed.
Abstract:
A control system for an elevator has landing call registration devices provided at landing floors and capable of being operated at the landing floors; an automatic landing call registration section for setting as a car call floor a landing floor where the landing call registration device has been operated and causing any one of cars to stop at the car call floor; a response selection section for selecting as a selected elevator an elevator device responding to the car call registration; a passenger movement time calculation section for defining as a selected doorway an elevator doorway provided at the car call floor of the selected elevator and calculating a passenger movement time period corresponding to the selected doorway; and an open/close control section for controlling opening and closing of the selected doorway based on information from the selected elevator and from the passenger movement time calculation section. When the selected doorway is already in a door open state, the open/close control section keeps the door open state of the selected doorway until the passenger movement time has passed after car call registration is made.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for making elevator service requests in a building (529). The method including obtaining a floor plan (550) for the building and overlaying a measurement system (551) of suitable scale onto the floor plan. The method also includes identifying relevant features and their location in the floor plan based on the measurement system, determining a pathway from a user device (531) to a target area (556) in the vicinity of an elevator door based on the relevant features, and computing a travel duration from the user device to the target area. Finally, the method includes assigning an elevator car (503) to a user based on a user service request at the user device and the travel duration.
Abstract:
An elevator group supervision controlling apparatus has a response time predicting means, a passenger movement estimating means, a standby time predicting means, a candidate car selecting means, an allocating means, and an instructing means. The response time predicting means predicts response time to a car call from a remote call registering apparatus for respective cars. The passenger movement estimating means estimates passenger moving time based on a positional relationship between the remote call registering apparatus and a landing. The standby time predicting means predicts the standby times of each of the cars based on the response time and the passenger moving time. The candidate car selecting means includes cars for which standby time is shorter than a predetermined time interval in candidate cars, and excludes cars for which standby time is greater than or equal to the predetermined time interval from the candidate cars. The allocating means decides an allocated car from among the candidate cars if at least one of the cars has been included in the candidate cars. The instructing means generates an informing instruction to communicate to the remote call registering apparatus reinput requesting information that recommends an input operation at the landing call registering apparatus if all of the cars are excluded from the candidate cars.

Abstract:
A control system for elevators controls the operations of a plurality of elevator apparatuses. The elevator apparatuses have cars and elevator doorways provided at each landing floor. The control system for the elevators is equipped with a landing call registration device, a landing call automatic registration portion, a response selection portion, a passenger traveling time period calculation portion, and an opening/closing control portion. The landing call registration device is provided at the landing floor to be operable at the landing floor. The landing call automatic registration portion sets as a car call floor the landing floor whose landing call registration device is operated, and makes a car call registration for stopping one of the cars at the car call floor. The response selection portion selects as a selected elevator that one of the elevator apparatuses which responds to the car call registration, based on information from the elevator apparatuses and information from the landing call automatic registration portion. The passenger traveling time period calculation portion sets as a selected doorway that one of the elevator doorways of the selected elevator, which is provided at the car call floor, based on information from the response selection portion, and calculates a passenger traveling time period corresponding to the selected doorway. The opening/closing control portion controls opening/closing operations of the selected doorway based on information from the selected elevator and information from the passenger traveling time period calculation portion.
