Abstract
Destination Oriented Allocation System for Elevator was developed to improve the operational efficiency of elevators of high rise buildings. Not only the improving operational efficiency, but the improving accessibility is necessary for persons with disability. The aim of this study is to consider how to adapt Destination Oriented Allocation System for their accessibility. In this study, we focused to reduce the load that the persons with visual impaired or lower limb disorders include wheelchair users are experiencing in the conventional elevator system and potentially feel in Destination Oriented Allocation System. We had the subjective evaluation as factors the relative position of hall operation panel toward the elevator cars, congestion rate and the allowable waiting time. The results showed that it was able to reduce the load of using for persons with disabilities when the system allocated them the cars that were closest from the hall operation panel or less than 30% in congestion rate.
