Abstract: A method for operating an elevator installation includes receiving a destination call of a passenger at a control unit and selecting an elevator car from a set of available elevator cars for transporting the passenger. The elevator car is selected such that elevator car spacing rules are observed. The method further includes determining an arrival time of the selected elevator car at the boarding floor, and determining a first arrival time of the passenger at an elevator landing corresponding to the selected elevator car on the boarding floor. The method includes directing, under the proviso that the first arrival time of the passenger at the elevator landing precedes the arrival time of the selected elevator car by a defined margin, the passenger to a waiting zone of a set of available waiting zones. The waiting zone is selected such that waiting zone spacing rules are observed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for smart elevator car destination management according to probabilistic destination determination. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for smart elevator car destination management according to probabilistic destination determination includes predicting a set of passengers requesting use of an elevator car in a bank of elevator cars in a building and determining a probability for each of the passengers that each passenger will select as a destination a particular floor in the building. The method also includes grouping ones of the passengers in the set according to a common floor determined to be probable for the grouped ones of the passengers. Finally, the method includes displaying in connection with the bank of elevator cars an assignment of the grouped ones of the passengers to one of the elevator cars in the bank.

Abstract: A group control device according to the present disclosure includes a registration unit, a calculation unit, and a selection unit. The registration unit makes call registration for a boarding floor, a destination floor, and an allocated car when a user makes a hall destination call by a hall destination calling device. The calculation unit calculates an in-car stay time of the user for the hall destination call. The selection unit selects a past hall destination call as an alternative candidate for call registration for a new hall destination call, in a case where the past hall destination call which has already been registered by the registration unit, whose allocated car is different from a car allocated to the new hall destination call, and whose in-car stay time is shorter than the in-car stay time calculated by the calculation unit.

Abstract: The disclosure herein includes a method for controlling elevators by an intelligent building system. The method includes receiving, by the intelligent building system, elevator calls initiated by passengers. Each elevator call can include a passenger identification corresponding to a passenger initiating the elevator call. The method further includes procuring passenger preference information based on the passenger identifications in response to the elevator calls and grouping the passengers with respect to the passenger preference information to produce passenger groups. The method further includes controlling the elevators to collect the passenger groups.

Abstract: Devices, methods and computer programs for elevator call allocation with stochastic multi-objective optimization are disclosed. At least some of the disclosed embodiments allow an elevator group control to take into account knowledge about possible future passenger arrivals when allocating new calls. At the same time, the new elevator calls can be allocated via optimizing multiple objectives, such as the waiting time, the time to destination, and/or the energy consumption. In other words, the invention makes it possible to both take into account the uncertainty related to future passengers and control the trade-off between different optimization objectives.
