Abstract:
An elevator control apparatus is provided with means for detecting a new type of elevator car traffic information consisting of the information indicating, by allotting the passengers in the car to resistered cage calls, how many passengers classified for each of destination floors are in the car, namely, the information indicating the number of in-cage passengers classified for each of destination floors. In an apparatus comprising means for allotting a hall call generated to an optimum one of a plurality of cars and means for detecting the number of prospective passengers waiting on the floors, the number of prospective passengers waiting at the floor the hall call from which is allotted to the car and the number of passengers classified for each of destination floors are added to or subtracted from the number of passengers in the car for each floor involved thereby to forecast the number of in-cage passengers in the leading floors. It is decided whether there is room available or not in the car for accomodating additional passengers at the leading floors, by comparing the forecast number of passengers in the car with a predetermined number limit of the passengers for the car. By the use of the result of this decision, the hall call is prevented from being allotted to a car having no room for accomodating additional passengers.
Abstract:
Elevator cars for servicing a plurality of floors are under the control of register means provided at elevator halls to registrate the hall calls for the up- and down-directions. Detector means are installed at the elevator halls to detect the number of the passengers awaiting the cars at the halls. Discriminator means are employed to obtain the information concerning the number of the car awaiting passengers classified for each of the directions of their destinations. The information thus obtained is utilized in the elevator control apparatus to operate the elevator system with a high working efficiency. When the hall calls for one direction are registrated, the detected number of the car awaiting passengers is regarded as the number of the awaiting passengers for the hall calls of the above one direction. When the hall calls for the two directions are registrated, the detected number of the car awaiting passengers are divided into two classes, one for one direction and the other class for other direction on the basis of an appropriate dividing ratio, to thereby detect the number of the awaiting passengers for each of the directions of their destinations. This information about the number of the passengers for each of the directions is utilized in the elevator control operation for allotting the registrated hall calls to the cars. Adder devices are provided for adding together the number of the car awaiting passengers relevant to the allotted hall calls and the number of the passengers in the car to estimate the number of the passengers to be transported by the car. The information of the estimated number of the passenger is utilized for predicting the possible occurrence of the car-full condition. The allotment of the hall calls to the car for which the no-vacancy condition is predicted is restricted.
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 a reinforcement learning network.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a robot interlocking elevator control system for efficient control of elevators operated in association with robots autonomously moving in a building. The present disclosure provides a method of setting the most efficient elevator line to be exclusive for robots in consideration of traffic volume in the building, a method of assigning elevator lines and efficiently switching operation modes of elevators while suppressing an encounter between the robots and humans, and a method of setting robot boarding-related parameters for elevator lines set to allow use of the robots.
Abstract:
An elevator control of an elevator installation with at least two elevator cars that move independently of one another in a common elevator shaft has a control device for fixing a first common direction of travel of the at least two elevator cars and for reversing this first direction of travel on the basis of at least one internal destination floor selection and/or an external conveying request and/or a destination call only when all of the internal destination floor selections and/or all of the external conveying requests and/or all of the destination calls in the first direction of travel have been processed.
Abstract:
An elevator system includes: a destination call registration device which accepts an operation of registering a destination call by specifying a destination floor; an exit floor selection part provided in the destination call registration device and by use of which a user selects an exit floor provided with an exit of a building as a destination floor of the destination call; an exit floor determination part which determines, on the basis of predetermined conditions, which floor is the exit floor from candidates for an exit floor which are set beforehand as floors capable of being selected as the exit floor among plural floors of the building; and a destination call registration part which registers the destination call in which the specific floor determined as the exit floor by the exit floor determination part is a destination floor in the case the exit floor selection part is operated by a user.
Abstract:
There is provided an elevator group control system, in which even after an assigned car has been determined, the assigned car can be changed as necessary, and therefore comfortable service can be offered to a user. This group control system includes a call registration device by the use of which a user registers a hall destination call before getting into a car, a car position detection part for detecting the car position of each elevator, and a call registration storage part for storing, for each elevator, a hall destination call having been registered. When a hall destination call having the same contents as those of an already registered hall destination call stored in the call registration storage part is registered newly from the call registration device, if a non-assigned car has already arrived at the floor on which the call registration device is installed, the newly registered hall destination call is assigned to the non-assigned car.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method for controlling an elevator system. In the method, hints relating to potential elevator passengers are received from at least one observation point connected to the elevator system. Based on the hints, forecasts relating to potential elevator passengers are prepared, on the basis of which forecasts one or more anticipatory control actions are executed.
Abstract:
An elevator monitoring and control method which involves indicating the condition of a plurality of elevators in indicators and controlling the plurality of elevators on the basis of a prescribed input. Since in control setting processing, it is possible to set a plurality of control items as a control pattern, in control execution processing, elevator control by a plurality of control items is made possible simply by executing the control pattern, with the result that it becomes possible to improve operability and to reduce the frequency of wrong operations. Furthermore, control execution processing can be performed after isolating part of the control patterns set in the control setting processing, with the result that it becomes possible to take speedy and flexible steps even in an emergency and to improve operability.
Abstract:
An elevator control of an elevator installation having at least two elevator cars movable independently of one another in a common elevator includes a control device for maintaining a defined minimum distance between two successive ones of the elevator cars and a defined maximum distance between two successive ones of the elevator cars.
