Elevator system control using traffic or passenger parameters

An elevator control method, comprising:

• receiving a first destination call, the first destination call comprising a first call input floor and a first destination floor;
• determining, in a first determination, that a time parameter or a traffic parameter is not satisfied;
• based on the received first destination call and the first determination, generating a first elevator journey for one of two or more elevator cabins disposed in an elevator shaft, the first elevator journey indicating a first arrival floor different than the first destination floor;
• receiving a second destination call, the second destination call comprising a second call input floor and a second destination floor;
• determining, in a second determination, that the time parameter or the traffic parameter is satisfied;
• and
• based on the received second destination call and the second determination, generating a second elevator journey for the one of the two or more elevator cabins disposed in the elevator shaft, the second elevator journey indicating a second start floor the same as the second call input floor or a second arrival floor the same as the second destination floor.

An elevator installation, comprising:

• a plurality of elevator cabins disposed in an elevator shaft;
• at least one call input apparatus disposed at a call input floor;
• and
• at least one destination call controller coupled to the at least one call input apparatus, the at least one destination call controller being configured to receive at least one destination call and a passenger benefit corresponding to the destination call in one of at least three different classes of passenger, the passenger benefit corresponding to the destination call, the destination call indicating the call input floor and a destination floor, the at least one destination call controller being further configured to determine that a situation-specific parameter corresponding to the passenger benefit is satisfied and to determine, based on the determination and based on the at least one destination call, at least one elevator journey, the at least one elevator journey indicating at least one of a departure floor equal to the call input floor and an arrival floor equal to the destination floor.

An elevator control component, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable data memory, the computer-readable data memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising,
• receiving a first destination call, the first destination call comprising a first call input floor and a first destination floor,
• determining, in a first determination, that a time parameter or a traffic parameter is not satisfied, based on the received first destination call and the first determination, generating a first elevator journey for one of two or more elevator cabins disposed in an elevator shaft, the first elevator journey indicating a first arrival floor different than the first destination floor,
• receiving a second destination call, the second destination call comprising a second call input floor and a second destination floor,
• determining, in a second determination, that the time parameter or the traffic parameter is satisfied, and
• based on the received second destination call and the second determination, generating a second elevator journey for the one of the two or more elevator cabins disposed in the elevator shaft, the second elevator journey indicating a second start floor the same as the second call input floor or a second arrival floor the same as the second destination floor.

One or more computer-readable data memories having encoded thereon instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

• receiving at least one destination call and a passenger benefit corresponding to the destination call in one of at least three different classes of passenger, the passenger benefit corresponding to the destination call, the destination call having been input on a call input floor and indicating a destination floor;
• determining that a situation-specific parameter corresponding to the passenger benefit is satisfied;
• and
• based on the received destination call and based on the determination for the situation-specific parameter, determining at least one elevator journey using at least one of two or more elevator cabins disposed in an elevator shaft, the determined at least one elevator journey indicating at least one of a departure floor equal to the call input floor and an arrival floor equal to the destination floor.
