Abstract:
A method of operating an elevator system is provided. The method comprising: detecting an occupancy status of the elevator car, the occupancy status comprising at least one of occupied and unoccupied; selecting a motion profile of the elevator car in response to the occupancy status, the motion profile comprising at least one of an unoccupied motion profile, an occupied motion profile, an occupied lateral movement motion profile, a power-save motion profile, and an occupied descent motion profile; and moving the elevator car in accordance with the motion profile selected.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for operating a lift system (100) having at least two cars (110) and at least two vertically extending lift shafts (101, 102), wherein the at least two cars (110) can be moved between the at least two lift shafts (101, 102), wherein, in a first operating mode, transport operations are carried out by the at least two cars (110) in the at least two lift shafts (101, 102), and in a second operating mode, a possible location of at least one (130) of the at least two cars (110) is restricted to at least one region (120) of at least one (102) of the at least two lift shafts (101, 102), and wherein the at least one (130) of the at least two cars (110) is not available for transport operations in other regions (121) of the at least two lift shafts (101, 102).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for controlling a passenger transport system, which transport system comprises at least two passenger conveyors, as e.g. escalators (40, 42) or elevators (36, 38), which transport system comprises a control for the passenger conveyors and for controlling passenger flow in the transport system. The control is connected to a passenger flow determination device (22) for establishing a passenger flow reference value of the actual passenger flow to be expected in the passenger transport system, and which control further comprises a passenger guide system (16) for controlling passenger flow in the transport system, which passenger guide system uses a cost function considering a set of system control parameters as passenger riding time, energy consumption, passenger waiting time, passenger transport capacity, maintenance demand, etc.. The control uses a transport model (12) simulating the function of the hardware components of the transport system under consideration of correlated system operating parameters as e.g. number of active passenger conveyors, passenger conveyor speed, still-stand times, door opening times etc. in connection with passenger flow, whereby the passenger flow reference value is input to the transport model and in an optimization process the system operating parameters are optimized under use of the transport model to meet the passenger flow reference value under consideration of at least one significant system control parameter from said set of system control parameters to achieve a best set of system operating parameters. The best set of system operating parameters is applied to the control of the passenger transport system.
