Abstract: A system for controlling elevator cars in a building having a plurality of floors includes a group controller for controlling operation of the elevator cars. The group controller predicts lobby single source traffic for determined periods. When the predicted traffic is below a certain limit, cars are assigned to a lobby hall call on demand after hall call registration. When the predicted traffic is above a certain limit, cars are assigned to the lobby hall call at intervals. Accordingly, car assignment is scheduled at those intervals. The schedule interval is varied based on predicted traffic and predicted round trip time of the cars. The cars are assigned to hall calls if they arrive within a schedule window. The schedule window comprises a lower and an upper tolerance that are selected around a scheduled time.

Abstract: A system including a group controller for controlling the dispatching of elevator cars in a building. The group controller operates by using control parameters stored in its memory. The system records car loads of cars leaving the lobby and the time intervals between their departures and uses fuzzy logic to categorize the car loads and intervals into fuzzy sets. The system determines the lobby traffic and traffic rate using fuzzy relations among car loads, departure intervals, lobby traffic and traffic rate and the fuzzy logic rules. The group controller collects traffic data during operation. The system runs simulations off-line, after single source traffic periods, using the specified control parameter values. The system collects and analyzes performance data to identify significant deviations from acceptable performances. New sets of control parameters are selected using appropriate specified rules. The process of simulation and learning new values of control parameters are repeated until acceptable performance is achieved. The selected parameters are used in system operation. The group controller repeats this process of simulation and learning the parameters periodically.

Abstract: An elevator system including a group controller for controlling the dispatching of elevator cars to the lobby. The group controller predicts lobby single source traffic for short periods. When the predicted traffic is below a certain limit, cars are assigned to a lobby hall call on demand after hall call registration. When the predicted traffic is above a certain limit, cars are assigned to the lobby hall call at intervals. Accordingly, car assignment is scheduled at those intervals. The traffic threshold at which the scheduled mode is activated and the traffic threshold at which it is deactivated is learned by the system. The schedule interval is varied based on predicted traffic and predicted round trip time of the cars. The number of cars assigned and sent to the lobby is varied based on predicted traffic. In order to avoid oscillations in selecting the service mode, proper delays are used to activate and deactivate the scheduled service.
