Abstract
An intelligent destination elevator control system streamlines the efficiency and control of destination elevators. The system monitors a building's population and predicts elevator traffic conditions. The system may monitor attributes of the destination elevators. Based on the monitored data, the system may generate a data structure that renders time-tables and target elevator service quality parameters that may control the destination elevators.
Claims14
A computer implemented method that facilitates operation of a group of destination elevators, comprising:
- retaining a data structure, in a data warehouse, that represents a plurality of modes of operation of a group of destination elevators, where the plurality of modes of operation comprise a plurality of groups of quality service parameters and quality timing parameters that satisfy a passenger distribution for the group of destination elevators;
- selecting a quality service parameter from one of the plurality of groups of quality service parameters;
- programming a processor to control a next departing elevator car, from the group of destination elevators, that departs from a building lobby with the quality service timing parameters associated with the selected quality service parameter;
- monitoring the group of destination elevators to determine if the quality service timing parameters are satisfied during operation of the group of destination elevators.
