Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided a method for forecasting elevator passenger traffic of an elevator group. The method comprises training a statistical traffic model describing a traffic profile for a specific cycle with historical timestamped origin-destination passenger counts, obtaining timestamped origin-destination passenger counts for a current cycle, generating an elevator passenger traffic forecast based on the trained statistical traffic model and the timestamped origin-destination passenger counts for the current cycle, and outputting the elevator passenger traffic forecast for use by an elevator group control.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an elevator group control apparatus performs group control of operations of cars. The apparatus includes a power consumption calculation unit that calculates power consumption when each of the cars is run according to the operation curve on the basis of object data stored in the object data storage unit and an operation curve created by the operation curve creation unit, a distributed waiting controller that sets a car in a waiting state among the cars as a distributed waiting target car and outputs a distributed waiting instruction to move the target car to a distributed waiting floor, and a distribution instruction controller that obtains, from the power consumption calculation unit, power consumption when the distributed waiting target car is moved to the distributed waiting floor and, on the basis of the power consumption, permits or inhibits a distributed waiting instruction output from the distributed waiting controller.

Abstract: Provided are a group control method and a group control device capable of efficiently controlling the operation of elevators in diversified traffic situations and under a variety of specification conditions required for a group management system. A plurality of elevators are placed in service for a plurality of floors, an evaluation index for a newly made hall call is calculated, and the best suited car is selected and assigned to the hall call based on the evaluation index in the group control method of elevators. A waiting time expectation value of all passengers on all floors for each direction, either that have already occurred or that are expected to occur within a predetermined time period, is taken as the evaluation index, the waiting time expectation value being the expectation value for the sum or the average of waiting time.

Abstract: A method schedules cars of an elevator system in a building. The method begins execution whenever a newly arrived passenger presses an up or down button to generate a call for service. For each car, determine a first waiting time for all existing passengers if the car is assigned to service the call, based on future states of the elevator system. For each car, determine a second waiting time of future passengers if the car is assigned to service the call, based on a landing pattern of the cars. For each car, combine the first and second waiting times to produce an adjusted waiting time, The method ends by assigning a particular car having a lowest adjusted waiting time to service the call and minimize an average waiting time of all passengers.

Abstract: An elevator passenger traffic measuring system distributes passengers whose destination floors cannot be determined to each of origin-destination floor pairs in accordance with an elevator car position, an incoming passenger number and an outgoing passenger number at each floor, and registered car calls, using probability weights for the origin-destination floor pairs which are determined by previous traffic measurements. The system then estimates the number of passengers for each of the origin-destination floor pairs in accordance with the distributed passengers, and the passengers who moved the corresponding one of the origin-destination floor pairs.
