    Abstract: A method for controlling an elevator group of double-deck elevators. Landing calls are allocated to the elevators and elevator decks in such a way that the passenger journey time is optimized. The method takes into account the current landing call time and the estimated time of arrival to the destination floor. The method minimizes passenger journey time by allocating the landing call to the deck that will cause the fewest additional stops to the elevator and least additional delay on the way to the passenger destination floor. In addition, the elevator estimated time of arrival to a destination floor is calculated separately for each deck, taking into account the stops already existing for the elevator and the additional stops caused by the selected landing call. Further the landing call is allocated to the deck for which the estimated time of arrival to the destination floor is least. In addition, the best deck for each landing call is selected by minimizing a cost function. The cost function may include the estimated time of arrival to the destination floor. Alternatively, the cost function may also include the estimated time of arrival to the furthest call floor.

    Abstract: Elevator group controller, elevator group, a method for allocating calls in an elevator group, and application executable in a remote service centre or in the elevator group The invention is aimed to improve control of wear and tear of the elevators in an elevator group (11) comprising a plurality of elevators (1) and at least one group control unit (5). The actual usage (9) of each elevator (1) is recorded, and the group control unit (5) executes at least one allocation algorithm (6) for selecting which elevator (1) of the elevator group (11) is used to serve a call. The allocation algorithm (6) is configured to compare the actual usage of at least two elevators (1) against respective target usages (10) and to select the elevator (1) having its actual usage (9) most deviating from the target usage (10) to serve an outstanding call. With the invention, the wear and tear of elevators (1) may be balanced, or certain elevators (1) may be set to reach the end of the maintenance period sooner.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and a system for dividing destination calls in an elevator system, which comprises at least two elevator groups, which elevator groups have one or more shared floors and also destination call appliances on at least the aforementioned shared floors for receiving destination calls given by passengers. The destination call appliances are connected to the group controls of the elevator groups, and the destination calls given by passengers are divided between the elevator groups on the basis of the defined division criteria.

    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 car call to the elevator serving the user.
