Abstract: Cabs, such as passenger and freight cabs, are transferred from one horizontal transport bogie that is moving along a track to another horizontal transport bogie moving at the same speed on an adjacent track. The cab may be transferred from one train or shuttle of moving bogies to another train of moving bogies, or may be transferred from a train of moving bogies to an auxiliary shuttle or bogie on a siding so as to permit the cab to be brought to a stop, either to allow transfer of passengers, to be moved into the car frame of an adjacent elevator for vertical transport within the building, or to simply await the coming of another train, traveling in either the same or in opposite direction, to which the cab may then be transferred.

Abstract: Normal power for the fan (22), lights (23), operating car panel (26), and cab controller functions (29) is provided from a voltage regulator (41) driven by a flywheel motor generator (38) which is accelerated when the elevator car (11) is near a landing by power supplied through brushes (34) from power tracks (32) disposed on the building (33). Power for the cab door operator (21) is supplied only directly from the brushes (34). A transceiver (46) provides all operational, safety and emergency phone voice communication with the building, whereby the traveling cable normally used on an elevator car is eliminated. The brushes are extended to engage the power tracks by means of springs (176), and are retracted into a clearance position by means of solenoids (174).

Abstract: An elevator system including a variable speed motive means is disclosed wherein the motive means is controlled in response to a selected motion profile to effect desired operation of the elevator car. Multiple elevator car motion profiles are stored and a appropriate profile is selected to operate the elevator car such that the level of service necessary to meet demand is provided while operating the elevator cars at reduced acceleration and jerk rates to provide increased ride comfort. Appropriate motion profiles are selected based on factors such as demand for elevator service and whether the building is in an up-peak or down-peak traffic period.

Abstract: During up-peak, a dispatcher selecting method chooses among three dispatching algorithms: (i) an up-peak sectoring scheme triggered when two cars leave the lobby fully loaded, (ii) static sectoring, and (iii) dynamic sectoring, in response to any of three criteria: car load, floor population, and average waiting time, allowing a group of elevators to be operated under any three of the dispatching algorithms, not locked into any two.

Abstract: A microprocessor cab controller for an elevator car processes signals to control car calls by means of routines which prevent car calls from being registered behind the advancing direction of the car unless the car is headed for the lobby without further demand or the car has no advance direction, which responds to directives from a car controller mounted in the building to reset all car calls, reset selected car calls, reset the car call at a floor landing where the car is stopping, or force selected car calls; to inhibit car calls in a selected one of two zones of continuous floors for implementing dual up peak operation, and for selectively inhibiting registration of car calls at floors which are designated as cut off from service by the car. The invention allows use of the car call function for commanding special service and for inhibiting calls inconsistent therewith.

Abstract: A plural elevator system having a group controller for controlling the joint response of a plurality of elevator cars to the needs of a building, employs a microprocessor-based group controller for providing up peak, down peak and other zone-controlled elevator functions. The group controller provides a variable interval between dispatching of elevator cars from the lobby during up peak, the dispatching interval being controlled by the approximate round trip time of an elevator being dispatched from the lobby in serving the car calls registered within it and returning to the lobby, or the average of the approximate round trip time for two or three most recently dispatched elevator cars. The dispatching interval is determined by the approximate round trip time divided by the number of elevator cars serving the up peak traffic. In addition, the dispatching interval can be further reduced in dependence upon the number of cars standing at the lobby, the reduction being greater in case the last car leaving the lobby is not more than half full than in the case when the last car leaving the lobby is more than half full. Exemplary elevator and microprocessor structure, an overall group controller microprocessor program logic flowchart, illustrative of the environment of the invention, and detailed logic flowcharts illustrative of an embodiment of the invention are disclosed.

Abstract: A plurality of express shuttle elevators S1-S4 exchange elevator cabs at a transfer floor 26 with local elevators L1-L10 by means of a carriage 107, the casters of which 93 are guided by tracks 70-83. The transfer floor has linear induction motor (LIM) primary segments 60-67 disposed on the transfer floor; the carriage has a LIM secondary 128 thereon for propulsion. The carriages can be locked 91, 92 to the transfer floor for loading, and cabs can be locked 131 onto the carriages for stability when being moved. A controller (FIGS. 10-13) keeps track of the progress of the cabs from one elevator to another.

Abstract: An elevator system, having a three phase rectifier (20) which converts energy from a three phase AC main (21) to provide DC power on a bus (19) to a three phase inverter (18) that drives a three phase inductive hoist motor (17), utilizes regenerated energy applied (46, 47) to a boost regulator (52) to drive (54, 55) a flywheel motor generator (26) to store the regenerated energy in the form of inertia therein. When the flywheel motor generator reaches a limiting speed, any continued regenerated energy is dumped (59, 60) in an energy dissipating device (61). During periods of high demand, the inertial energy stored in the flywheel motor generator is utilized (67, 68) to add energy to the DC bus to provide additional current to the three phase inverter for driving the hoist motor. The control is provided by software embedded in an elevator computer (such as used for dispatching and motion control).
