Abstract: During elevator modernization, a cross-dispatching system receives hall calls and assigns each hall call to either a group of existing elevator car controllers or a group of new elevator car controllers. The cross-dispatching system creates an inter group relative system response (iRSR) value for the hall call for both the existing group of elevators and the new group of elevators, based upon information from each group such as car location, in-service status, load, and direction. If the group assigned the hall call does not answer the call within a redispatch time period, the cross-dispatching system again calculates the iRSR for each group and reassigns the hall call.

Abstract: As elevator group including at least two elevator cars is controlled using a group control unit which allocates the calls to different elevators. Based on statistical data and/or statistical forecasts, virtual passenger traffic is generated and used in a simulation that creates events in the virtual passenger traffic, on the basis of which an elevator-specific cost is computed for each call to be allocated. Based on the costs, the best elevator is selected to serve the call. This allocation of a best elevator to answer a specific landing call may be reallocated as the simulation is updated to update the best elevator to answer a specific floor call.

Abstract: In a two-way ring elevator communications system, characterized in that a controller is associated with each elevator to process inter-elevator messages and the controllers of the elevators are linked together in serial fashion on a two-way communications system so that the messages of each controller are passed along to and processed by each of the other controllers in two directions on two independent rings, whichever of the two rings is properly functioning is used at full capacity but if neither ring is properly functioning then both rings are operated at reduced capacity, the reduction being carried out by reducing the time between reassignments of elevator hall calls.

Abstract: A method of optimizing the handling of coincident calls in an elevator system which employs ETA strategy in assigning hall calls to a plurality of elevator cars. The method dynamically biases the ETA value of a car having a car call for the floor of the hall call being assigned, with the bias being applied to favor assignment of the hall call to the car having the coincident car call. The amount of the bias is inversely proportional to the car travel distance between the advanced position (AVP floor) of the elevator car and the floor associated with the hall call (scan floor). The relative effect of the bias is predetermined for each floor by preselection of a constant K used in the bias calculation.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for a passenger-allocation in a multi-deck elevator group, the decks of which defining elevator cars, respectively, being stacked above each other and being mounted in a car frame to be moved synchronously in an elevator shaft. The method being performed by a control unit to dispatch the elevator cars for serving any passenger call which can be entered as a landing call or a car call, wherein a call can create a number of allocation proposals calculated by means of an optimization algorithm carried out by the control unit for dispatching an elevator to a passenger call. The invention is characterized in that said allocation proposals are then processed in a routing algorithm defining one serving deck to be taken for the allocation of a specific call, which routing algorithm is restarted either for any further incoming call independent of whether said further incoming call is creating new elevator allocation proposal(s) or when a reallocation timeout has passed. The invention further relates to a computer program carrying out the inventive method.

Abstract: An elevator system having cars in service at top and bottom in a single shaft with efficient group control. The elevator system is provided with a shaft assignment finalizing unit for selecting a shaft and a car to be assigned to a new call, and a reassigning unit for reassigning a car as necessary when a new call occurs after assignment is performed. After tentative assignment is finalized, if a new call is generated before a time for finalizing a stop of a tentatively assigned car is reached, then the tentative assignment is reviewed. If it is determined that reassigning of cars is necessary for a call, then the reassigning unit changes car assignment to the call. Assignment of a car is finalized by the car assignment finalizing unit, and information regarding a final decision is displayed by a display controller.
