Abstract: One or more elevators can be more efficiently controlled by considering the then-current spatial capacity of the elevator. Camera images or other sensor data indicative of the occupied space in the elevator are received and processed by a control device to determine whether or not the elevator should stop at a requested floor. If the elevator is determined to lack space for additional passengers, then the elevator can bypass the requested stop and proceed without delay. If space remains, however, the elevator can stop to accommodate additional passengers. Measured spatial capacity can also be used to coordinate the actions of multiple elevators operating within a building.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling an elevator installation with at least one shaft and a number of cars, it being possible to make at least two cars travel separately up and down along a common traveling path and a passenger being able to enter a destination call by means of an input unit disposed outside the shaft and the destination call being allocated to a car in dependence on an allocation assessment. To develop the method in such a way that the transporting capacity can be increased, with the cars which can be made to travel along a common traveling path hindering one another as little as possible, it is proposed according to the invention that, in the case of allocation of the destination call to one of the cars which can be made to travel along the common traveling path, the portion of the traveling path required for serving the destination call is assigned to this car and blocked for the time of the assignment for the other cars. Furthermore, an elevator installation for carrying out the method is proposed.

Abstract: A group elevator control includes a call allocation device which automatically adapts to optimization criteria and traffic conditions so that an optimum call assignment is achieved. The device includes a solution selection module which calculates starting from a first time predetermined solution, further possible solutions for the call assignment which are fed to a simulator module. A traffic model module supplies possible passenger number and destination floor data to the simulator from which is generated factors data for the solutions, the factors data relating to passengers and/or elevator components. The factors data is fed to a calculation module, which uses a calculation function and optimization criteria data from the elevator control to generate another call allocation solution to the solution selection module which compares each another call allocation solution with the previous best solution to select the best of all possible solutions for the call allocation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the control of the dispatch of elevator cars from the main floor are implemented in a plurality of algorithms performed by a process computer. A first algorithm for an elevator group receives data representing the measured arriving and departing building filling passenger traffic from sensors. The first algorithm determines the traffic requirements and the actual departure load of the elevator group from this data and various constants, and determines the transport capacity of the elevator group. The transport capacity is assigned to second algorithms associated with the elevator cars and corresponding to the nominal load of each respective car. Based upon the assigned transport capacity and the round trip time of the respective elevator car, the second algorithm calculates the nominal departure load. Dependent on the nominal departure load and the actual departure load, the second algorithm calculates a corrected departure load with which the elevator car should be loaded.
