摘要： The present invention is directed to notifying a user of an arriving elevator car in response to a hall call registered by the user, wherein notification occurs a threshold time value before elevator car arrival. In the preferred embodiment, an elevator car is assigned to a floor in response to a hall call. The amount of time required for the assigned elevator car to arrive at the floor is determined and compared with the threshold time value. If the arrival time is greater than the threshold time value, the system reexamines assignment, possibly reassigning a different elevator car to respond to the hall call. The arrival time of the assigned (or newly assigned) elevator car is again determined, and this process continues until the arrival time is less than or equal to the threshold time value. When the arrival time is less than or equal to the threshold time value, the hall lantern at the door of the assigned elevator car is energized, e.g., illuminated and/or sounded. Additionally, the hall call is removed from further consideration regarding reassignment to another elevator car, thereby fixing the elevator car assignment. In the preferred embodiment, the threshold time value can be a constant value determined by, e.g., the building manager. Alternatively, the threshold time value can be variable by the system, e.g., based on the intensity of the traffic as measured by user waiting time or user boarding and/or deboarding rates, whether actual or predicted.

摘要： A method of operating an elevator system includes the steps of specifying and storing at least one profile describing at least one elevator operational characteristic, including an elevator security function specifying a landing or landings for which hall calls are not to be responded to and a landing or landings for which car calls are not to be responded to. The profile has a start time, an end time, and a day or days of the week specified therefor during which time the profile is to be activated. A next step repetitively determines a current time and a current day of the week and compares the current time and current day of the week to the specified start time, end time, and day or days of the week associated with the at least one stored profile. Responsive to an equality condition, the method includes a further step of transmitting information to a controller of at least one elevator car within a group of elevator cars. The transmitted information causes the at least one elevator car to begin operating in accordance with the specified profile, or to stop operating in accordance with the specified profile.

摘要： Disclosed are me and apparatus for establishing a Door Dwell Time for an elevator car. The method includes the steps of (a) accumulating, over a first interval of time, a total amount of time that expires between a time when a hall call is received to when an elevator door of the elevator car opens in response to the hall call; and, at the end of the interval of time, (b) determining an Average Waiting Time (AWT) by dividing the total amount of time by a number of hall calls that occurred during the first interval of time. The method further includes the steps of (c) comparing the AWT to a first AWT threshold value; and, if the AWT exceeds the first AWT threshold value, (d) decreasing the elevator car Door Dwell Time (DDT) by a time increment so as to obtain a revised DDT for use during a second time interval. If the AWT does not exceed the first AWT threshold value, the method further includes the steps of (e) comparing the AWT to a second AWT threshold value; and if the AWT is less than the second AWT threshold value, (f) increasing the elevator car DDT by the time increment so as to obtain a revised DDT for use during the second time interval.

摘要： Deeming a full elevator car available for servicing a hall call is accomplished by testing if all of the car calls for the car are between the position of the elevator car and the hall call. If not, the full car may still be deemed available if there is a special stop car call between the position of the car and the position of the hall call or if there is at least one car call between the position of the car and the position of the hall call and there are no other hall calls between the position of the car and the position of the hall call.

摘要： An elevator system (FIG. 1) employing a microprocessor-based group controller (FIG. 2) communicating with elevator cars (3,4, . . . ) to affect the assignment of cars to hall calls at a plurality of floors in the building, using different, speedier car motion profiles and system motion parameters when the average waiting time is increasing beyond an acceptable delta (.DELTA.) [e.g. .+-.15% or .+-.5 sec.] or exceeds a specific pre-set limit (e.g. thirty-five seconds), indicating high traffic intensity (FIG. 3). This causes each of the assigned car(s) going to the relevant floor(s) to be given a higher jerk rate and acceleration & deceleration rates for reduced waiting time and improved service time. When relatively high intensity traffic conditions are no longer present, the relevant cars are changed back to a profile with a lower jerk rate and acceleration & deceleration rates for enhanced passenger comfort. To measure the average waiting time, the number and the time entered of all hall calls placed is collected, along with the floors involved in the calls, during an interval, and the average waiting time for the calls computed. In the first approach the computed average waiting time is compared to the previous computed average waiting time and, if it equals or exceeds an unacceptable delta (.DELTA.) or difference, the profile is increased. In the other approach, if the computed average waiting time exceeds the pre-set limit, the profile is increased. The highest available profile is also preferably used whenever the car is empty.

摘要翻译： 使用与电梯轿厢（3,4 ...）通信的基于微处理器的组控制器（图2）的电梯系统（图1），以影响轿厢在建筑物的多个楼层处的门厅呼叫的分配 当平均等待时间增加超过可接受的增量（（Delta））（例如+ -15％或+ -5秒）或超过特定的预设限制时，使用不同的，更快的汽车运动曲线和系统运动参数 例如三十五秒），表示高交通强度（图3）。 这使得分配到相关楼层的每个分配车辆被给予更高的加加速度和加速和减速率，以减少等待时间和改善的服务时间。 当相对高强度的交通状况不再存在时，相关的汽车将被更改为具有较低的冲击速率和加速和减速率的轮廓，以提高乘客舒适度。 为了测量平均等待时间，收集所有门厅呼叫输入的号码和时间，以及间隔期间呼叫涉及的楼层以及计算的呼叫的平均等待时间。 在第一种方法中，将计算的平均等待时间与先前计算的平均等待时间进行比较，并且如果其等于或超过不可接受的增量（（Delta））或差异，则轮廓增加。 在另一种方法中，如果计算出的平均等待时间超过预设限制，则轮廓增加。 当汽车是空的时，也可以使用最高的可用轮廓。

摘要： Elevator door dwell time is varied as a function of arrival time so that a show-and-go time is met. The show-and-go time is the time from when the passengers are shown which elevator to board to the time when the elevator door is ready to close after the pasengers have entered the elevator. The arrival time is a function of the distance of the elevator from the floor of the hall call signal and is the time remaining after an elevator reaches a stop control point where a hall call assignment is fixed to a car until the door of said elevator begins to open. Door opening time, door dwell time, and arrival time are subtracted from a show-and-go time. If the difference is greater than or equal to zero, the door dwell time is increased by the difference, but if the difference is less than zero the door dwell time is decreased by the difference, and the doors are then held open at a landing for the door dwell time.

摘要： When an average wait time is low (23, 24) an elevator car (31-34) is parked (39), unable to answer calls, or if a parameter (45) is low (46), the car is shut-down. If wait time is high, a parked car is assigned the call. If no cars are parked, a shut-down car may be assigned based on RRT. If up running cars can answer the call, the down running cars are excluded.

摘要： In down peak, floors of the building are divided into sectors (38), empty cars (50) are assigned (63, 64) to the sector and assigned (65) the highest down call in the sector provided the highest down call is above the committable floor of any car already assigned in the sector, or there is no car assigned in the sector. If a car is not full (52), it will be assigned additional calls (56). If there are no calls in the sector below a car sector which is not full, a long calls routine (67) determines if there is a down call (75), that is in danger of becoming a long-waiting call, ahead of a car (69) and if so, assigns that call to the car (76).
