Abstract: A method of assigning hall calls to a plurality of elevator cars (0, 1, N) which biases the assignment process to balance the number of cars serving up and down service directions. Prior to each call assignment update the method determines the number of cars serving each service direction (78, 80, 82). A predetermined relationship (88) between there two numbers is used to determine if up hall calls should be assigned first, or down hall calls (90, 92, 94, 96). The balancing of cars serving the two service directions lowers the average waiting time, and it results in dispersing the cars throughout a building when service subsides, to enable prompt service for newly entered calls without the necessity of moving the cars during periods of low service to be in position for new calls.

Abstract: A method of assigning hall calls to a plurality of elevator cars in an ETA strategy in which up hall calls are scanned upwardly and down calls downwardly. A hall call floor at which the scan has stopped for the purpose of assigning or reassigning a hall call at the floor is called a "scan floor". The floor of the advanced position of the car being considered for assignment is called the "AVP floor". In order to favor the clustering of closely adjacent stops in a given car, and thus minimize car bunching, when a car has an intervening stop between the AVP floor and the scan floor, either the travel distance between the AVP floor and the scan floor, or the travel distance from an intervening stop to the scan floor, is used to develop a dynamic bias for the ETA of the associated car. The dynamic or variable bias is inversely proportional to the travel distance, i.e., the number of floors, between the relevant floors.

Abstract translation: 在ETA策略中向多个电梯轿厢分配门厅呼叫的方法，向上和向下扫描向上和向下向上和向下向上扫描向上电梯呼叫。 扫描已停止的门厅呼叫楼层是为了在楼层分配或重新分配门厅呼叫而被称为“扫描楼层”。 正在考虑分配的汽车的先进位置的地板称为“AVP楼层”。 为了有利于在给定轿厢中紧密相邻的停靠点的聚集，并且因此使汽车聚束最小化，当汽车在AVP楼层和扫描楼层之间有中间停止时，AVP楼层与扫描楼层之间的行进距离， 或从中间站到扫描楼的行驶距离用于为相关联的汽车的ETA开发动态偏差。 动态或可变偏压与相关楼层之间的行进距离，即楼层数成反比。

Abstract: An elevator control system includes a car load measuring device for generating a car load signal representing the number of passengers in an elevator car and a floor load sensor for generating a signal representing the number of passengers waiting for an elevator at each floor. As the elevator car approaches the next floor at which it could stop, the floor load sensor generates its signal for that floor which is combined with the car load signal in an adder to generate a signal representing the total car load if the elevator car were to stop. The signal representing the total load is compared with a signal representing a maximum permissible car load and, if the maximum has not been exceeded, an enable signal is generated to one input of each of a plurality of logic circuits. The second input of each logic circuit is connected to a memory cell for a corresponding floor in a floor call memory and the third input of each logic circuit is connected to the corresponding floor in the floor selector device. Thus, when the signal representing the next floor at which the elevator car could stop corresponds to a stored floor call for that floor and the total potential load does not exceed the maximum permissible load, the corresponding logic circuit will generate a stop signal to cause the elevator to stop at the respective floor.

Abstract: At a single floor of a building, such as at the lobby, destination calls are entered via a destination call entry device touch pad such as a (12) so that overall system response can be optimized during up-peak service intervals. A maximum number of calls are assigned to each car in order of its priority, or advantageous situation with respect to loading the lobby passengers, and the dispatch interval for each car is individually adjusted. The calls may be assigned to a car prior to its arrival at the lobby, and call assignments are audibly and/or visually displayed by an indicator device (16).

Abstract: An elevator group control system in which, in response to origination of a new hall call, a floor-stop call evaluation factor indicative of the degree of saving of power consumption is computed besides a serviceability evaluation factor indicative of the passenger serviceability, for example, the waiting time. One of these evaluation factors is weighted relative to the other to compute an allocation evaluation factor indicative of the suitability of allocation of the new hall call to one of the elevator cars, and the new hall call is allotted to the elevator car which is decided to be most suitable for the service in respect of the value of the allocation evaluation factor.

Abstract: In an elevator system in which an elevator car serves a plurality of floors in response to hall calls and cage calls, the number of, for example, up hall calls originated from, for example, the 2nd floor is counted, and the number of cage calls, classified by destination floors, registered in the elevator car after the elevator car has served each of the up hall calls is also counted. The count of the hall calls and the count of the cage calls classified by destination floors are compared with each other, and, on the basis of the result of comparison, the probabilities of origination of cage calls, classified by destination floors, which will be registered in the elevator car after the elevator car has subsequently served a new up hall call which would be originated from the 2nd floor, are calculated for forecasting future cage calls.

Abstract: An elevator control system for controlling a plurality of elevator cars arranged for parallel operation for servicing a plurality of floors of a building, in which means are provided so that, in response to origination of a new hall call in addition to hall calls originated and allotted already, a suitable elevator car for servicing this new hall call can be selected and the new hall can be allotted to the selected elevator car to be serviced by this elevator car. In the system, this new hall call is allotted preferentially to one of the elevator cars having an already instructed stopping floor within a predetermined floor range covering a plurality of backward and/or forward floors contiguous to the new hall call originating floor. In this elevator control system, the already instructed stopping floor is evaluated by employing a weight coefficient which is variable depending on the factor such as the position of the already instructed stopping floor either backward or forward relative to the new hall call originating floor, or the relative distance between such floor and the new hall call originating floor, so as to provide improved elevator service.

Abstract: In an elevator system comprising a plurality of elevator cars serving a plurality of floors in response to hall calls and cage calls, an elevator control apparatus is provided which comprises a device for forecasting cage calls as a new type of traffic information expected to be registered as hall waiting passengers take a given car. The device includes means arranged on each hall for detecting the number of prospective passengers waiting on the particular hall and means for setting the ratios of the hall waiting passengers destined for respective floors. The detected number of hall waiting passengers is multiplied by the ratios of destination floors (hereinafter referred to as "destination ratios") to figure out floors to which the hall waiting passengers joining the car are most likely to proceed, thus forecasting a corresponding cage call or calls. This cage call forecasting device is used in an elevator control system assigning hall calls, so that a cage call expected to be registered by the serving of a hall call is forecast at an early time. The waiting time required until each car reaches each floor, for example, is thus forecast with high accuracy taking into consideration cage calls expected to be registered in the future.

Abstract: In an elevator system comprising a plurality of elevator cars each serving a plurality of floors, an elevator control device is provided in which each car has a service zone, hall calls within which the particular car is capable of answering, which service zone is changeable at any moment according to the changing traffic situation, any hall call generated from a floor being transmitted only to that car the service zone of which includes such a floor. Lest the service zone of a car includes so many floors that it is not certain whether or not the particular car is able to serve the farthest floor included in its service zone in a reasonable time, a maximum length or size of the service zone is predetermined thereby to prevent the car from answering a hall call from an extremely far floor.
