Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to an elevator system of a facility with multiple floors. The elevator system can comprise elevator cars and an elevator controller. The elevator controller includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores computer program instructions executable by the processor to cause the elevator system to determine a current utilization of the elevator system, automatically activate an adaptive split group operation on a per floor basis when the current utilization of the elevator system is greater than a threshold utilization of the elevator system, and dispatch the elevator cars under the adaptive split group operation in accordance with elevator calls.

Abstract: Methods and systems for making elevator service requests including receiving, by a computing device, building information, populating at least one suggestion list with one or more suggested list elements, the at least one suggestion list comprising a list of possible origination or destination floors for an elevator trip, displaying a user interface, including the at least one suggestion list, on a display, receiving a first user input to indicate an origination floor for an elevator service request, receiving a second user input to indicate a destination floor for the elevator service request, generating an elevator service request packet based on the first user input and the second user input, and transmitting the elevator service request packet to an elevator controller to make an elevator service request. At least one of the first user input and the second user input are inputs received at the at least one suggestion list.
