Abstract: An elevator system including a car call registration device by which an elevator user registers a car call before riding on a car and a group supervisory controller with a building specification data storage section in which building specification data including specially-assigned floors is stored. Further, a specially-assigned floor judgment section judges whether a departure floor is a specially-assigned floor when a car call is registered, and a traffic condition judgment section judges the traffic condition of elevators within a building. A car assignment is performed based on the traffic condition judgment section judging by the specially-assigned floor judgment section that the departure floor is a specially-assigned floor, and a car assignment is performed based on a building specification stored in the building specification data storage section when the specially-assigned floor judgment section judges the departure floor is not a specially-assigned floor.

Abstract: The position and direction (0-27, FIG. 2) of each elevator car (A-D) in a group of cars is recorded along with time and traffic rate of the elevator group to provide a data stream. The canonic representation of the position and direction data is reduced, to eliminate symmetry (FIGS. 1, 3 and 4) resulting from the relative positions and directions of the cars being the same except for the identification of which car is at which position and direction. An entropy estimation algorithm is used to provide a plot of entropy as a function of time, which is then translated from the other data in the stream to entropy as a function of traffic rate (FIG. 5). A maximum traffic rate is chosen, and thereafter, during normal operation, if the current rate is higher than the maximum, an elevator group parameter is altered to increase the traffic-handling capability of the group, but if the current traffic rate is lower than the maximum, an elevator parameter is altered in a manner to decrease the traffic-handling capability of the group.

Abstract: A method for controlling an elevator group of double-deck elevators. Landing calls are allocated to the elevators and elevator decks in such a way that the passenger journey time is optimized. The method takes into account the current landing call time and the estimated time of arrival to the destination floor. The method minimizes passenger journey time by allocating the landing call to the deck that will cause the fewest additional stops to the elevator and least additional delay on the way to the passenger destination floor. In addition, the elevator estimated time of arrival to a destination floor is calculated separately for each deck, taking into account the stops already existing for the elevator and the additional stops caused by the selected landing call. Further the landing call is allocated to the deck for which the estimated time of arrival to the destination floor is least. In addition, the best deck for each landing call is selected by minimizing a cost function. The cost function may include the estimated time of arrival to the destination floor. Alternatively, the cost function may also include the estimated time of arrival to the furthest call floor.
