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 certain limit, cars are assigned to a lobby hall call on demand after hall call registration. When the predicted traffic is above 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: The present invention is directed to an elevator dispatching system for controlling the assignment of elevator cars. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a method of determining the commencement and/or conclusion of UP-PEAK and DOWN-PEAK periods of operation. For example, for commencing UP-PEAK operation, a lobby boarding rate is predicted, based on historical information of the number of passengers boarding the elevators at the lobby and the number elevators leaving the lobby. The predicted lobby boarding rate is compared with a predetermined threshold value. If the predicted lobby boarding rate is greater than the predetermined threshold value, UP-PEAK is commenced. In the preferred embodiment, the predetermined threshold value is a predetermined percentage of the elevator car's capacity. Additionally, the present invention is directed to a method of adjusting the threshold value based on actual passenger traffic. For example, once UP-PEAK is commenced, the load of the first few elevators leaving the lobby within a predetermined time interval is determined, and the threshold value is adjusted based on their determined load. If the determined load is greater than a certain percentage of the elevator car's capacity, indicative of starting UP-PEAK too late, the threshold value is decreased. Similarly, if the determined load is less than a certain percentage of the elevator car's capacity, indicative of starting UP-PEAK too soon, the threshold value is increased.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一种用于控制电梯轿厢分配的电梯调度系统。 更具体地，本发明涉及一种确定UP-PEAK和DOWN-PEAK操作周期的开始和/或结论的方法。 例如，为了开始UP-PEAK操作，可以根据登上大厅的电梯的乘客人数和离开大厅的数字电梯的历史信息预测大厅登机率。 将预测的大厅登机率与预定的阈值进行比较。 如果预测大厅登机率大于预定阈值，则开始UP-PEAK。 在优选实施例中，预定阈值是电梯轿厢容量的预定百分比。 另外，本发明涉及一种基于实际乘客流量来调整阈值的方法。 例如，一旦UP-PEAK开始，确定在预定时间间隔内离开大厅的前几台电梯的负载，并且基于它们确定的负载来调整阈值。 如果确定的负载大于电梯轿厢容量的一定百分比，表示启动UP-PEAK太晚，阈值就会降低。 类似地，如果确定的负载小于电梯轿厢容量的一定百分比，表示启动UP-PEAK太早，则阈值增加。

Abstract: A method for controlling an elevator group in which statistical data on a traffic flow within an elevator group, representing the times, local and total volumes of the traffic, and a number of different traffic types used in a group control are stored in a memory unit belonging to the control system. The traffic flow is divided into two or more traffic components, the relative proportion or different traffic components and the prevailing traffic intensity are deduced from the traffic statistics, the traffic components and traffic intensity, i.e. the traffic factors, are subjected to assumptions whose validity is described by means of membership functions of the factors. A set of rules which correspond to different traffic types are formed from these factors and are assigned values by means of the factors and membership functions, the rule which best describes the prevailing traffic is selected, and the traffic type corresponding to the selected rule is used in the control of the elevator group.
