Abstract:
A collaborative scheduling method for high-rise elevators based on Internet of Things is provided. The method includes: obtaining the number of people carried at the current moment of each elevator in the elevator group, the target distance corresponding to the current moment of each elevator, and the number of people waiting at the current moment of each floor; predicting the number of people waiting for the going up and the number of people waiting for the going down at the current moment of each floor based on the monitoring video data of the elevator door every day in the preset historical days, and constructing the corresponding feature vectors of each elevator at the current moment and the corresponding feature vectors of the skyscraper at the current moment, and then obtaining the corresponding state vectors at the current moment, controlling each elevator based on state vector and ES-Reinforcement learning network.
Abstract:
A method for operating an elevator installation includes receiving a destination call of a passenger at a control unit and selecting an elevator car from a set of available elevator cars for transporting the passenger. The elevator car is selected such that elevator car spacing rules are observed. The method further includes determining an arrival time of the selected elevator car at the boarding floor, and determining a first arrival time of the passenger at an elevator landing corresponding to the selected elevator car on the boarding floor. The method includes directing, under the proviso that the first arrival time of the passenger at the elevator landing precedes the arrival time of the selected elevator car by a defined margin, the passenger to a waiting zone of a set of available waiting zones. The waiting zone is selected such that waiting zone spacing rules are observed.
Abstract:
An elevator operation managing device capable of reducing a switching of passengers at a time of getting on and getting out of a car. The elevator operation managing device includes an in-car position acquisition unit and a car allocation acquisition unit. The in-car position acquisition unit obtains an in-car position of a user based on layout information and a congestion degree obtained in a congestion degree acquisition unit. The car allocation acquisition unit performs a car allocation to allocate the user to the car based on a received boarding floor and destination floor and the in-car position obtained in the in-car position acquisition unit.
Abstract:
An illustrative example method of controlling an elevator system includes detecting a number of passengers waiting for elevator service at a landing, detecting an available passenger capacity of a plurality of elevator cars, respectively, and assigning at least one of the elevator cars to travel to the landing to provide elevator service to the passengers based on the detected number of passengers and the available passenger capacity of the at least one of the elevator cars.
Abstract:
A method of operating a building elevator system having a plurality of elevator systems organized into an elevator group including: detecting crowd data within an elevator lobby proximate the elevator group on a landing; determining a level of crowdedness in response to the crowd data; determining at least two elevator cars of the plurality of elevator systems are required in response to the level of crowdedness; dispatching an elevator car of a first elevator system of the plurality of elevator systems to the landing; dispatching an elevator car of a second elevator system of the plurality of elevator systems to the landing; and coordinating an arrival time of the elevator car of the first elevator system at the landing and an arrival time of the elevator car of the second elevator system at the landing.
Abstract:
A method for controlling an elevator system comprises obtaining images of the inside of an elevator car, detecting passengers in the images, creating graphic passenger models of the detected passengers from the images and determining the number of passengers who may additionally board the elevator car using the passenger models. The passenger models may reflect the actual size of the passengers.
Abstract:
The invention refers to a method for allocating elevator cars in an elevator system for passenger transport having at least one elevator group with at least one elevator having at least one elevator car, which elevator group is controlled by an elevator group control having a call allocation system to allocate an elevator car to a floor call using destination call control wherein the floor call includes the departure floor as well as the destination floor, whereby the elevator system communicates via a communication means with terminal devices, e.g. mobile devices acting as destination operating panels for the passengers. According to the invention the call allocation system is configured to handle load calls issued via the terminal device, whereby a load call comprises a departure floor, a destination floor, load specification data and a first time or time frame within which the load is to be transported from the departure floor to the destination floor, and the allocation system reserves within the first time/time frame the necessary space and/or weight in an elevator car, obtained from the load specification data and sends a notice to the terminal device from which the load call has been issued and/or to a predetermined terminal device, which notice comprises information that currently or at what time an elevator car is going to serve the load call and which elevator car is going to serve the load call.
Abstract:
A method for determining the parameters connected to the run times of elevators and for using said parameters in the control of the elevators in an elevator system includes selecting a plurality of floor pairs from a plurality of floors served by the elevators; measuring runs between the selected floor pairs with one or more elevators; registering run events connected to the measured runs; determining, on the basis of the run events, a plurality of run time parameters connected to the run times; and controlling the elevators based on the aforementioned run time parameters when the elevators are in transport operation.
Abstract:
An elevator system includes at least one elevator, at least one call input device and a call controller. The call input device transmits a call to the call controller. For a transmitted normal operation signal, at least one elevator car of an assigned elevator is activated to drive to the call input floor by at least one elevator controller of the assigned elevator. In a peak-time mode of the elevator system, at least one main operation signal is transmitted to at least one elevator. For a main operation signal transmitted to an elevator, at least one elevator car of said elevator is activated to drive between at least two main operation floors by at least one elevator controller of said elevator.
Abstract:
A set of cars in an elevator system are scheduled by assigning passengers to the cars such that a current schedule for each car does not exceed a predetermined maximum number of stops per round trip, and the car is filled as near as possible to a maximum capacity at a predetermined bottleneck.
