In a control device for double-deck elevator systems equipped with a plurality of elevators that have an upper deck and a lower deck that are conveyed simultaneously to two adjacent floors and that assign elevator decks to respond to boarding hall calls from each floor, to select the optimal deck for responding to boarding hall calls is selected from among all of the aforementioned decks to make elevator travel and passenger transport more efficient. A response suitability index is found from various elements-predicted response time to a boarding hall call by a deck, the likelihood ratio of said predicted response time, the effect on existing boarding hall calls by responding to the boarding hall call, the car space available for the deck, and the number of elevators resulting from response to the boarding hall calls Processing to find this response suitability index is performed for all the decks of multiple elevators, the deck that has the optimal response suitability index is determined from among them and an assignment is made.
A control device for a double-deck elevator system having an upper deck and a lower deck, the control device comprising:
A control method for a double-deck elevator system having an upper deck and a lower deck, wherein the control method receives a plurality of car calls from the decks and a plurality of hall calls from floors and assigns the decks to respond to the plurality of hall calls, the method comprising the steps of:
A control device for a double-deck elevator system, the double-deck elevator system having a plurality of elevators, wherein each elevator has an upper deck and a lower deck, wherein the control device receives car calls and hall calls and assigns the decks to respond to the hall calls, the control device comprising:
A control method for a double-deck elevator system, the double deck elevator system having a plurality of elevators each elevator having an upper deck and a lower, wherein the control method receives a plurality of car calls from the decks and a plurality of hall calls from the floors and assigns the decks to respond to the plurality of hall calls, the method comprising the steps of:
