Abstract: A system and method for controlling an elevator group including several elevators and related call devices which controls each elevator in a manner determined by the calls entered and the existing control instructions. When the control system has to decide between two or more control alternatives, a systematic decision analysis is performed by studying the effects resulting from each alternative decision, the effects resulting from each alternative decision, the effects being estimated by simulating by a Monte-Carlo type method the future behavior of the elevator system in the case of each alternative decision. To carry out the simulation, realizations are generated at random for the unknown quantities associated with the current state of the elevator system and for new external future events, and a control decision is made on the basis of the results of the decision analysis.

Abstract: A method of controlling a group of elevators allocates target calls definitively and immediately to the individual elevators for serving the call according to higher rank and lower rank function requirements and these allocations are indicated immediately at the call input floors. A weighted sum corresponding to higher rank function requirements is formed from partial operating costs, this sum is modified into operating costs in the sense of lower rank function requirements by means of variable bonus and penalty point factors and a target call is allocated to the elevator with the lowest operating costs. A target call allocation algorithm with subordinate algorithms for the bonus and penalty point tracking and the costs computation implements this method in a computer. The bonus and penalty point factors are continuously made to follow the traffic volume or the car load group by group or elevator by elevator with the tracking algorithm. The computation of the operating costs takes place in the costs computation algorithm according to a special costs formula, wherein the readjusted bonus and penalty point factors act multiplicatively on a six term partial costs sum.

Abstract: A method of minimizing car bunching at any traffic flow level allocates closely adjacent stops to a given car which is favored by a variable, readjustable distributor bonus. The estimated lost time costs of all passengers are computed for each elevator and for each hall call, these costs are reduced by a variable distributor bonus concentrating adjacent stops in one car, and a hall call is then allocated for service to that elevator which displays the lowest, reduced estimated lost time costs. In order to assure the function of this method equally at high and low traffic levels, the variable distributor bonus (Bvn) is readjusted to the traffic flow level (Va) which serves as a tracking parameter by means of a tracking function according to the relationship Bvn=Bv.F(Va) and the readjusted variable distributor bonus is defined thereby. The tracking function F(Va) is determined by one of artificial intelligence methods and expert programs. By the dependence of the distributor bonus on traffic flow, the desired small local bunching of elevator cars is an optimum for every traffic level. This method is applicable to a plurality of different allocation criteria, service requests and tracking parameters.
