    摘要: The invention relates to a method for controlling a passenger transport system, which transport system comprises at least two passenger conveyors, as e.g. escalators or elevators, which transport system comprises a control for the passenger conveyors and for controlling passenger flow in the transport system. The control is connected to a passenger flow determination device for establishing a passenger flow reference value of the actual passenger flow to be expected in the passenger transport system, and which control further comprises a passenger guide system for controlling passenger flow in the transport system, which passenger guide system uses a cost function considering a set of system control parameters as passenger riding time, energy consumption, passenger waiting time, passenger transport capacity, maintenance demand, etc. The control uses a transport model simulating the function of the hardware components of the transport system under consideration of correlated system operating parameters as e.g. number of active passenger conveyors, passenger conveyor speed, still-stand times, door opening times etc. in connection with passenger flow,whereby the passenger flow reference value is input to the transport model and in an optimization process the system operating parameters are optimized under use of the transport model to meet the passenger flow reference value under consideration of at least one significant system control parameter from said set of system control parameters to achieve a best set of system operating parameters. The best set of system operating parameters is applied to the control of the passenger transport system.

    摘要: According to an example embodiment, an elevator control system is provided, the elevator control system comprising an elevator controller for controlling movement of one or more elevators of an elevator transport system between one or more floors of a building under construction; and a scheduling system for maintaining a transport reservation schedule pertaining to said one or more elevators, wherein the transport reservation schedule comprises one or more transport reservations that comprise at least a first transport reservation that defines at least a first reserved transport time period, a first origin floor, and a first activation code, wherein the elevator controller is arranged to: control an elevator allocated to serve the first transport reservation to arrive at the first origin floor by the beginning of the first transport time period, and control, during the first reserved transport time period, said elevator allocated to serve the first transport reservation to move to a destination floor in response to receiving an activation code that matches the first activation code.
