Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided a method and an apparatus for determining an allocation decision for at least one elevator. In the solution existing calls are used in an elevator system as a first input in a machine learning module. The first input is processed with the machine learning module to provide a first output comprising a first allocation decision. The first output is then used as a second input in an iterative module. The second input is processed with the iterative module to provide a second output comprising a second allocation decision. The second allocation decision is provided to an elevator control module and to an allocation decision storage for further machine learning module training.

Abstract: A method schedules elevator cars in a group elevator system in a building by first generating a set of probability distributions for arrivals of future passengers at any floor of the building, wherein the set of probability distributions are characterized by probabilistic variables that specify arrival information of the future passengers, wherein the arrival information includes a probability of service requests by the future passengers and a probability of possible times of the service requests. A schedule for the elevator cars is based on the set of probabilistic distribution. Then, the schedule is provided to a controller of the group elevator system to move the elevator cars according to the schedule.

Abstract: A 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 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 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.
