Systems and methods for adjusting elevator load settings

A method of operating a plurality of elevator cars, comprising:

• measuring at least one load of each of the plurality of elevator cars during multiple predefined periods;
• determining a maximum load of each of the plurality of elevator cars from the at least one load measured during each of the multiple predefined periods;
• generating a modified load setting associated with each of the multiple predefined periods for each of the plurality of elevator cars, such that the modified load setting associated with each of the multiple predefined periods is based on the maximum load determined for each respective elevator car of the plurality of elevator cars during an occurrence of each of the multiple predefined periods;
• and
• activating the modified load setting for one or more elevator cars of the plurality of elevator cars, during the occurrence of at least one of the multiple predefined periods, in place of a load setting originally associated with the one or more elevator cars, such that the one or more elevator cars are operated in accordance with the modified load setting generated for the at least one of the multiple predefined periods until completion of the at least one of the multiple predefined periods;
• wherein the modified load setting define an adjusted capacity of each of the plurality of elevator cars relative to the load setting originally associated with each of the plurality of elevator cars.

A system for operating an elevator car, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform operations including:
• measuring one or more loads of the elevator car during a plurality of predefined periods;
• determining a maximum load of the elevator car that corresponds to each of the plurality of predefined periods from the one or more loads measured during each of the plurality of predefined periods;
• generating a modified load setting for the elevator car for each of the plurality of predefined periods based on the maximum load determined for the elevator car during each of the plurality of predefined periods;
• and
• replacing a load setting of the elevator car during an occurrence of at least one of the plurality of predefined periods with the modified load setting generated for the at least one predefined period, wherein the modified load setting replaces the load setting for a duration of the at least one predefined period such that the elevator car is operated in accordance with the modified load setting generated for the duration of the at least one predefined period until completion of the at least one predefined period.
