    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to an elevator system of a facility with multiple floors. The elevator system can comprise elevator cars and an elevator controller. The elevator controller includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores computer program instructions executable by the processor to cause the elevator system to determine a current utilization of the elevator system, automatically activate an adaptive split group operation on a per floor basis when the current utilization of the elevator system is greater than a threshold utilization of the elevator system, and dispatch the elevator cars under the adaptive split group operation in accordance with elevator calls.

    Abstract: A ropeless elevator system (80) is disclosed. The ropeless elevator system (80) may include a plurality of elevator cars (24), a first hoistway (22), a second hoistway (26), an upper transfer station (34), and a lower transfer station (36). Movement of each of the plurality of elevator cars (24) may be controlled according to a predetermined assignment (90, 112) in which: a plurality of floors (101-110, 121-130) is divided into a plurality of floor groups (92, 94, 114, 116), each of the plurality of elevator cars (24) is assigned to at least one of the plurality of floor groups (92, 94, 114, 116), and each of the plurality of elevator cars (24) is dispatched only to floors within the at least one floor group assigned thereto.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for handling destination calls in an elevator group comprising several elevators using destination call control, which method comprises an allocation procedure for situations where the calls can't be served by all elevators of the elevator group in one round trip, in which situation “n” open calls and “m” fixed calls are present, which fixed calls are already allocated but not served, in which allocation procedure a genetic algorithm (GA) is used in which the following succession of steps is performed:a) chromosomes comprising genes are formed, in which chromosomes: n first genes comprise a correlation of each open call and a corresponding elevator, n second genes comprise a correlation of each open call and the corresponding number of the round trip in which the open call will be served, and m third genes comprise a correlation of each fixed call and the corresponding number of the round trip in which the fixed call will be served, b) for each chromosome round trips are calculated for each elevator of the elevator group according to collective control,c) the round trips of all elevators calculated in step b) are evaluated according to known optimization criteria, as e.g. passenger riding time, passenger waiting time, energy consumption, minimum number of round trips etc.,d) chromosomes which are evaluated in step c) as sufficient are put forward to the forming of a new generation by per se known GA methods, as e.g. cross-breeding, mutation, etc.,e) the steps b) to d) are repeated for each chromosome of each new generation of chromosomes until a stop criterion is achieved,f) the calls are served in collective control according to the best chromosome of the last generation, andg) the destinations of each elevator in its travelling direction in the current round trip according to the best chromosome are shown on a at least one common display shortly before its arrival at said landing. The invention solves the elevator dispatching problem under consideration of more than the current round trip of the elevators in the elevator group.

    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for allocating an elevator of an elevator system are described. In the solution, image data associated with an area associated with a plurality of elevators is obtained. An automated guided vehicle is detected based on the image data. Parameter data associated with the automated guided vehicle is determined based on the image data. Information indicating a destination floor for the automated guided vehicle is obtained and an elevator car is allocated for the automated guided vehicle by taking into account at least the parameter data and the destination floor. Information identifying the allocated elevator car is caused to be transmitted to the automated guided vehicle.
