Abstract:
One version of this disclosure includes a system for assigning an elevator car to respond to a call signal wherein a controller is responsible for determining which elevator car will respond to a call signal. This version includes the controller receiving a hall call signal, receiving information regarding the elevator system, determining whether the call assignment can be made in view of a first rule associated with a banned call assignment, and eliminating the rule against banned call assignments when necessary to avoid saturation of the elevator system.
Abstract:
Described is a method for assigning hall calls comprising the steps of receiving a hall call signal, receiving information regarding an elevator system, assigning a destination to the hall call signal, and calculating a call cost value for each elevator car using a handling capacity coefficient. The controller designates the elevator with the lowest call cost value to respond to a call signal. The handling capacity coefficient is a value that reflects the current traffic conditions of an elevator system.
Abstract:
Method, computer program and system for estimating the walking time of a passenger in a destination floor elevator system. The passenger gives a destination call with a destination call device, after which an elevator is allocated to the passenger on the basis of the call given and the passenger is notified about the aforementioned allocation by means of the destination call device. The walking time of the passenger to the elevator is dynamically estimated and the elevator system is controlled dynamically on the basis of the estimated walking time.
Abstract:
An elevator traffic flow control strategy utilizes the advantages of sector assignment channeling and destination entry systems. A controller (30) monitors a handling capacity (62) of the system to determine when it is advisable to override the sector assignments (52) to provide improved passenger service.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for operating a lift system (1) having a shaft system (2) and a plurality of lift cars (3) that are moved between floors (4) separately from one another in circulating operation such that the lift cars (3) are moved upwards in a first shaft (5) and are moved downwards in a second shaft (6). In this case, at least a number of shaft positions (7) that can each be approached by the lift cars (3) is defined that corresponds to the number of lift cars (3), with synchronisation of the movement of the lift cars (3) being performed in respect of these defined shaft positions (7). Furthermore, the present invention relates to a lift system (1) having a shaft system (2), a plurality of lift cars (3) that are movable in the shaft system (2) and a control device for operating the lift system (1), wherein the control device is set up to operate the lift system (1) in accordance with a method according to the invention.
