Abstract: An elevator car dispatching system (100) comprises an elevator control module (102) that controls operation of at least one elevator car. A position monitoring mechanism (104) is coupled to a first elevator car among the at least one elevator car. The position monitoring mechanism (104) is configured to output a position signal in response to movement of the first elevator car. The elevator car dispatching system (100) further comprises an electronic dispatch module (106) that is in electrical communication with the elevator control module (102) and the position monitoring mechanism (104). The dispatch module (106) is configured to determine a vertical position of the first elevator car based on the position signal. The dispatch module (106) is further configured to output a dispatch command signal commanding the elevator control module (102) to adjust operation of the first elevator car based on the vertical position.
