    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a passenger transport system, which transport system comprises at least two passenger conveyors, as e.g. escalators or elevators, which transport system comprises a control for the passenger conveyors and for controlling passenger flow in the transport system. The control is connected to a passenger flow determination device for establishing a passenger flow reference value of the actual passenger flow to be expected in the passenger transport system, and which control further comprises a passenger guide system for controlling passenger flow in the transport system, which passenger guide system uses a cost function considering a set of system control parameters as passenger riding time, energy consumption, passenger waiting time, passenger transport capacity, maintenance demand, etc. The control uses a transport model simulating the function of the hardware components of the transport system under consideration of correlated system operating parameters as e.g. number of active passenger conveyors, passenger conveyor speed, still-stand times, door opening times etc. in connection with passenger flow,whereby the passenger flow reference value is input to the transport model and in an optimization process the system operating parameters are optimized under use of the transport model to meet the passenger flow reference value under consideration of at least one significant system control parameter from said set of system control parameters to achieve a best set of system operating parameters. The best set of system operating parameters is applied to the control of the passenger transport system.

    Abstract: An elevator system includes an elevator car supported by an elevator rope wrapped around a sheave, such that a rotation of the sheave changes a length of the elevator rope between the sheave and the elevator car thereby controlling a movement of the elevator car within an elevator shaft of the elevator system. An elevator cable is connected to the elevator car and the elevator shaft to carry electrical signals to the elevator car. The operation of the elevator system is controlled in response to receiving a call for a movement of the elevator car requesting a change of the length of the elevator rope. A motion profile of the elevator car causing the requested change of the length of the elevator rope that minimizes the sway of the cable is determined according to a model of a cable relating a sway of the cable to a motion profile. Next, the motion of the elevator car is controlled according to the determined motion profile.

    Abstract: An elevator system (FIG. 1) employing a microprocessor-based group controller (FIG. 2) communicating with elevator cars (3,4, . . . ) to affect the assignment of cars to hall calls at a plurality of floors in the building, using different, speedier car motion profiles and system motion parameters when the average waiting time is increasing beyond an acceptable delta (.DELTA.) [e.g. .+-.15% or .+-.5 sec.] or exceeds a specific pre-set limit (e.g. thirty-five seconds), indicating high traffic intensity (FIG. 3). This causes each of the assigned car(s) going to the relevant floor(s) to be given a higher jerk rate and acceleration & deceleration rates for reduced waiting time and improved service time. When relatively high intensity traffic conditions are no longer present, the relevant cars are changed back to a profile with a lower jerk rate and acceleration & deceleration rates for enhanced passenger comfort. To measure the average waiting time, the number and the time entered of all hall calls placed is collected, along with the floors involved in the calls, during an interval, and the average waiting time for the calls computed. In the first approach the computed average waiting time is compared to the previous computed average waiting time and, if it equals or exceeds an unacceptable delta (.DELTA.) or difference, the profile is increased. In the other approach, if the computed average waiting time exceeds the pre-set limit, the profile is increased. The highest available profile is also preferably used whenever the car is empty.
