Elevator Group Control During Morning Rush-Hours

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new elevator group control method during morning rush-hours. This method determines the number of cars which are sent to the main-floor during this period using a new logic and indexes. These logic and indexes are acquired through some simulations, in which cage movements under the rush-hour control are analyzed minutely. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulations using data of a real building.
