Real-Time Destination-Call Elevator Group Control on Embedded Microcontrollers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce new elevator group control algorithms that can be implemented to be real-time compliant on embedded microcontrollers. The algorithms operate a group of elevators in a destination call system, i. e., passengers specify the destination floor instead of the travel direction only. The aim is to achieve small waiting and travel times for the passengers. We provide evidence, using simulation, that the algorithms offer good performance. One of our algorithms has been implemented by our industry partner and is used in real-world systems.

Elevator System with Destination Control and Fpga Implementation of Dispatching Algorithms
Elevator systems for vertical transport of passengers are implemented in modern high-rise buildings. Conventional elevator systems use up and down hall-call buttons for calling an elevator service, a group of local control systems (LCS), one per elevator, and an Elevator Group Control System (EGCS) which selects the most suitable elevator for attending a hall-call. The performance of an elevato...
متن کاملDynamic Partition of Elevator Group Control System with Destination Floor Guidance in Up-peak Traffic
This paper presents a new modeling of elevator group intelligent scheduling system with destination floor guidance. The traditional input mode of separate hall call registration and the destination selection is improved to a single-input mode. On this basis, dynamic partition method in up-peak traffic is studied. This method means dynamically adjust division of floor region based on flow rate a...
متن کاملPlanning and Control Models for Elevators in High-Rise Buildings
The passenger service level in an elevator system depends on the planning of the elevator group and on the control of the elevators. In this thesis the contribution of passenger and elevator traffic for an elevator group with multiple shafts is studied by simulations and theoretical analysis. During this work an elevator control system, the Traffic Master System 9000 (TMS9000), was developed. T...
متن کاملThe Effect of Randomization on Constraint Based Estimation of Elevator Trip Origin-Destination Matrices
We present a constraint programming formulation for the elevator trip origin-destination matrix estimation problem, and study different deterministic and randomized algorithms to solve the problem. An elevator trip consists of successive stops in one direction of travel with passengers inside the elevator. It can be defined as a directed network, where the nodes correspond to the stops on the t...
متن کاملOptimal 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 ...
