A method of allocating calls of a lift installation with at least one lift and at least one car per lift to move passengers in a journey from at least one input floor to at least one destination floor, a system for executing the method and a computer readable memory with instructions for executing the method. The method includes receiving input calls from passengers travelling from an input floor to a destination floor, each call identifying at least one floor as an input floor or a destination floor. A start zone with identified input floors and a destination zone with identified destination floors are determined from the input calls and destination calls. Each identified floor within a corresponding zone is considered using at least one selection criterion and a stopping floor is selected which satisfies the criterion. The car is caused to stop at fewer than all the identified input floors and identified destination floors during the journey.
Method of allocating calls of a lift installation with at least one lift and at least one cage (1, 1′) per lift, wherein at least one call to a destination storey is input by at least one passenger and a plurality of passengers is moved in accordance with input calls by the cage (1, 1′) in at least one journey from at least one input storey to at least one destination storey, characterised in that for the input calls of the journey at least one start zone (9, 9′) with one or more input storeys in determined;
Mobile apparatus (83) according to claim 38, characterised in that the output device (82) guides the passenger to the selected stopping storey.
