Abstract:
An elevator system includes: a destination call registration device which accepts an operation of registering a destination call by specifying a destination floor; an exit floor selection part provided in the destination call registration device and by use of which a user selects an exit floor provided with an exit of a building as a destination floor of the destination call; an exit floor determination part which determines, on the basis of predetermined conditions, which floor is the exit floor from candidates for an exit floor which are set beforehand as floors capable of being selected as the exit floor among plural floors of the building; and a destination call registration part which registers the destination call in which the specific floor determined as the exit floor by the exit floor determination part is a destination floor in the case the exit floor selection part is operated by a user.
Abstract:
Provided is an elevator group control system which is excellent in convenience and can prevent a decrease in operation efficiency even when an elevator is used by a group of a plurality of persons. For this purpose, there are installed in an elevator hall a destination operating panel by use of which users register their destination floors before boarding and a group boarding registering device for registering that users use an elevator as a group. The number of users expected when users use an elevator as a group is stored beforehand in a user head-count storage section. When registration of a destination floor by use of the destination operating panel has been performed at the same time with registration of a group use by use of the group boarding registering device, a car to be assigned to a hall car call is determined on the basis of the number of users stored in the user head-count storage section.
Abstract:
A method of allocating calls of a lift installation with at least one lift and at least one car per lift to move passengers in a journey from at least one input floor to at least one destination floor, a system for executing the method and a computer readable memory with instructions for executing the method. The method includes receiving input calls from passengers travelling from an input floor to a destination floor, each call identifying at least one floor as an input floor or a destination floor. A start zone with identified input floors and a destination zone with identified destination floors are determined from the input calls and destination calls. Each identified floor within a corresponding zone is considered using at least one selection criterion and a stopping floor is selected which satisfies the criterion. The car is caused to stop at fewer than all the identified input floors and identified destination floors during the journey.
Abstract:
A method for allocating destination calls in an elevator system, the system including at least one multi-deck elevator, where the passenger gives his/her destination floor by means of a destination call device at the beginning of the journey route, thereby defining the staffing point and final point of the passenger's journey route in the elevator system. The method includes the steps of generating possible route alternatives from the staffing point to the final point of the journey route, determining a cost function containing at least one travel time term, determining the value of the travel time term corresponding to each route alternative in the cost function, calculating the total cost of each route alternative by using the cost function, allocating for the passenger the route alternative that gives the minimum total cost, and guiding the passenger to a waiting lobby and/or elevator consistent with the route alternative allocated.
Abstract:
The invention refers to an elevator system (10; 40; 60) having a plurality of elevator cars (26, 28), which elevator cars comprise several first cars (26) and at least one second car (28), which second car differs from the first cars in its size and/or technical configuration, whereby the first cars and the second car run together within one and the same elevator shaft (12), which elevator system comprises an elevator control comprising a call allocation control having a first part connected to at least one call input device for allocating the first elevator cars (26) and a second part connected to at least one call issuing means for the call allocation of the second car (28), whereby the first and second part of the call allocation control are configured to work independently of each other.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Zuteilung von Rufen einer Aufzugsanlage mit mindestens einem Aufzug und mindestens einer Kabine (1, 1') pro Aufzug. Von mindestens einem Passagier wird mindestens ein Ruf auf ein Zielstockwerk eingegeben. Eine Mehrzahl von Passagieren wird gemäss eingegebener Rufe von der Kabine (1, 1') in mindestens einer Fahrt von mindestens einem Eingabestockwerk auf mindestens ein Zielstockwerk verfahren. Für die eingegebenen Rufe der Fahrt wird mindestens eine Startzone (9, 9') mit einem oder mehreren Eingabestockwerken ermittelt. Für die eingegebenen Rufe der Fahrt wird mindestens eine Zielzone (10, 10') mit einem oder mehreren Zielstockwerken ermittelt. Falls mindestens eine Anzahl Halte in der Startzone (9, 9') und/oder in der Zielzone (10, 10') grösser Eins ist, wird diese Anzahl Halte reduziert.
Abstract:
Building systems and method of using elevators in buildings are described. The systems include a robot-use elevator system having an elevator car moveable along an elevator shaft of a building, a controller configured to receive requests associated with the elevator system and configured to control operation of the elevator system, and a robot configured in communication with the controller and configured to perform actions within the building, the robot configured to travel within the building in the elevator car. The elevator car is operated using parameters outside limits intended for human use of an elevator car.
Abstract:
An elevator control method for an elevator system including cars movable in an elevator shaft of a building the building being dividable into serving sectors each serving sector including at least one floor to be served by a car, and a recording device for recording car usage data, the recording device being dedicated to the cars, wherein the recording device forwards the car usage data to an elevator controller receiving the car usage data for creating car-logbook-data. The method of division of the serving sectors is decided on evaluation-analysis of the car-logbook-data by gathering and storing the car usage data over a period of time into a memory of the elevator controller and allocating a serving sector in dependency of the evaluation-analysis of the car usage data respectively.
