Abstract
A method for the selection of the most favorable elevator of a elevator installation having at least two elevator groups, wherein a route with changeovers is available for reaching a destination floor from a start floor, the route being broken down into several stretches. An elevator of one of the elevator groups is allocated to each of the stretches solving the multi-route problem in a destination call multi-group control with journeys involving changeovers.

A method for selecting the most favorable route for reaching a destination floor from a start floor in a elevator installation, comprising the steps of:
- a. providing a database of a plurality of routes representing the travel of elevator cars in a multi-group elevator installation between floors served by the elevator installation;
- b. generating a destination call identifying a start floor and a destination floor;
- c. ascertaining from the database each of the plurality of routes from the start floor to the destination floor;
- d. dividing each of the ascertained routes into at least two stretches;
- e. generating operating costs for each of the stretches for the elevator cars;
- f. determining a most favorable one of the ascertained routes based upon the operating costs for the associated stretches;
- and
- g. generating an elevator car allocation for each of the stretches of the most favorable one of the ascertained routes.
