Optimal Elevator Group Control by Evolution Strategies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Efficient elevator group control is important for the operation of large buildings. Recent developments in this field include the use of fuzzy logic and neural networks. This paper summarizes the development of an evolution strategy (ES) that is capable of optimizing the neuro-controller of an elevator group controller. It extends the results that were based on a simplified elevator group controller simulator. A threshold selection technique is presented as a method to cope with noisy fitness function values during the optimization run. Experimental design techniques are used to analyze first experimental results.

Optimal Elevator Group Control Using Genetic Algorithms
This paper presents an optimal control strategy for elevator group in large buildings. An elevator group controller allocates different elevators to up and down hall calls that coming from different floors. The control strategy is a precondition to minimize mainly the average waiting time of hall calls. In this paper, two genetic algorithms are developed to treat efficiently the elevator group ...
متن کاملMulti-Car Elevator Group Control: Schedule Completion Time Optimization Algorithm with Synchronized Schedule Direction and Service Zone Coverage Oriented Parking Strategies
Multi-car elevator systems consist of shafts with two or more independent cars operating in them. Due to their special characteristics, such as the need to avoid the interference among cars in the same shaft, conventional control methods cannot be implemented on them. Therefore it is necessary to develop group control methods for multi-car elevator systems able to perform an optimal floor call ...
متن کاملStrategies for Controlling Elevator Group Systems
In high-rise buildings, elevators must be safely and efficiently moving people during daytime. Generally, elevator up-peak traffic is predominant traffic between a lobby and various upper floors. Especially, the main expectation from elevators in buildings is increasing in a rush-hour time. Therefore, the passenger’s waiting time in their floor are increased. We can say that the services given ...
متن کاملImmunity-Based Optimal Estimation Approach for a New Real Time Group Elevator Dynamic Control Application for Energy and Time Saving
Nowadays, the increasing use of group elevator control systems owing to increasing building heights makes the development of high-performance algorithms necessary in terms of time and energy saving. Although there are many studies in the literature about this topic, they are still not effective enough because they are not able to evaluate all features of system. In this paper, a new approach of...
متن کاملTimed Petri net based approach for elevator group controls
In this paper, an optimal group control for elevator systems is proposed with timed Petri net based approach. Elevator system is modeled by timed Petri nets and hall call response times are estimated with moment generating functions (MGFs) method, which is applicable to real traffic patterns. Two assignment policies are proposed to satisfy the demands of passengers (i.e. hall/car calls) and to ...
