Definitions
- An elevator system may comprise a plurality of elevator groups, each group servicing a set of floors.
- a passenger may select an elevator group from which to request service based on his or her destination. Some destination floors may be serviced by more than one elevator group. If more than one elevator group serves the destination, the passenger may select an elevator group based on factors such as physical location of the elevator group or lobby crowding. After the passenger has selected an elevator group, he or she may enter a service request. Upon receipt of the service request, a group controller associated with the selected group may evaluate each car in the selected group to determine which car in the group should be assigned to service the passenger.
- the best car for servicing the request may be selected by the group controller using a set of defined criteria, and the selected best car may be assigned to service the request.
- the group controller may only choose among cars in its particular elevator group. Because the elevator group has already been selected by the passenger, and group information is the same for each car in a group, group information is not a factor when choosing the best car.
- an elevator dispatching system includes a plurality of elevator groups, each of the plurality of elevator groups comprising a group controller and a plurality of elevator cars, each of the plurality of elevator groups serving a respective set of floors; and a redirector configured to receive a service request comprising a destination floor, and, in the event more than one elevator group serves the destination floor, communicate the service request to the group controllers of the more than one elevator groups, wherein the respective group controllers of the more than one elevator groups are configured to each determine a respective group score, and communicate the respective group score to the redirector and the redirector is further configured to determine the best group based on the respective group scores.
- a method for best group selection in an elevator dispatching system comprising a plurality of elevator groups, each of the plurality of elevator groups comprising a group controller and a plurality of elevator cars, each of the plurality of elevator groups serving a respective set of floors, the method including receiving a service request comprising a destination floor by a redirector; in the event more than one elevator group serves the destination floor, determining a respective group score for each of the more than one elevator groups by the respective group controllers of the more than one elevator groups and communicating the respective group scores to the redirector; and determining a best group of the plurality of elevator groups by the redirector based on the respective group scores.
- a computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium containing computer code that, when executed by a computer, implements a method for best group selection in an elevator dispatching system, the elevator dispatching system comprising a plurality of elevator groups, each of the plurality of elevator groups comprising a group controller and a plurality of elevator cars, each of the plurality of elevator groups serving a respective set of floors, wherein the method includes receiving a service request comprising a destination floor; in the event more than one elevator group serves the destination floor, receiving a respective group score for each of the more than one elevator groups from the respective group controllers of the more than one elevator groups; and determining a best group of the plurality of elevator groups based on the respective group scores.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of an elevator dispatching system.
- FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment of a method for best group selection in an elevator dispatching system incorporating group score information.
- FIG. 3 illustrates an embodiment of a computer that may be used in conjunction with embodiments systems and methods for best group selection in an elevator dispatching system incorporating group score information.
- An elevator dispatching system may comprise one or more global destination entry devices, allowing a passenger to enter a service request without first selecting a specific elevator group in a multi-group elevator system. The elevator dispatching system may then select the best group to service the request. In order to balance traffic between elevator groups, and avoid sending passengers to a crowded elevator group if there exists a less crowded elevator group capable of servicing the request, group information for each elevator group capable of servicing the request may be evaluated to determine the best group. The best group may be selected based on determination of a group score for each group that is capable of servicing the request.
- the group scores may be determined by each group's respective group controller based previously established criteria that allow comparison of groups.
- the group score is the same for each car in a single group, and thus may not be used to differentiate between cars in a group. Once the best group is selected, a best car may be selected from the best group.
- Directing traffic to a less crowded elevator group when more than one elevator group is capable of fulfilling a service request may reduce crowding and balance traffic among multiple elevator groups. Passengers may experience less crowded lobby and car conditions, and building owners may enjoy reduced lobby queuing, as lobby queuing is a visible problem that is an informal measure of an elevator system's perceived performance.
- Cars lOla-c comprise a first elevator group 101, and are controlled by controller 103a.
- Cars 102a-c comprise a second elevator group 102, and are controlled by controller 103b.
- Controllers 103a-b are connected to redirector 104.
- Controllers 103a-b may be located in any appropriate physical location in elevator dispatching system 100, such as in one of the individual cars of a controller's respective group.
- a group may comprise one or more backup group controllers, however, each group may have only one active group controller at any given time.
- Passengers may input service requests into one of destination entry devices (DEDs) 105a-d by entering a floor value for their destination.
- DEDs destination entry devices
- the service requests are processed by the redirector 104 to determine a best elevator group to service the request based on group scores received from group controllers 103a-b. After the best group is determined, a best car within the best group is determined. One of DEDs 105a-d indicates the selected best group and best car to the passenger. Elevator groups 101 and 102, cars lOla-c and 102a-c, controllers 103a-b, and DEDs 105a-d are shown for illustrative purposes only; an elevator dispatching system may comprise any appropriate number of elevator groups, cars, controllers, and DEDs.
- An elevator group such as elevator groups 101 and 102, may service any subset of floors in a building, and one or more floors of the system may be serviced by more than one elevator group.
- Group selection may be performed by a group selection module located in redirector 104 based on group scores received from group controllers 103a-b.
- FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment of a method for best group selection that may be embodied in a group selection module in a redirector.
- FIG. 2 is discussed with reference to FIG. 1.
- redirector 104 receives a service request comprising a destination floor from one of DEDs 105a-d.
- the redirector 104 communicates the service request to each elevator group capable of servicing the request, and receives a group score from each group controller of a group capable of servicing the request.
- a group score may be calculated by a group's group controller 103a-b using any available group information, including but not limited to a number of people currently in an elevator group's lobby, the total number of people in all of the elevator cars in a group, a total capacity of the elevator system, the number of cars in one group, the total capacity of all the cars in one group, a number of passengers waiting for a specific subset of floor destinations (where the subset varies depending on previously observed traffic patterns or the time of day), average registration, wait time, and or service time for a previous time interval, average registration, wait time, and or service time for a previous time interval for a specific set of destination floors, or a number of unique source/destination combinations pending for each group. Any of the above information may be used by group controllers 103a-b to determine a group score.
- the data used to determine the best group may be configurable by a system administrator. For example, it may be configurable whether to use time of day for selecting the best group. If time of day is used, then the specific time periods may also be configurable.
- the information used by the redirector 104 to select a best group for a new service request may be combined in various ways including weighted parameters, fuzzy logic, weighted averages or any other evaluation of the available information.
- the redirector determines a best group to service the request based on the received group scores and assigns the service request to the determined best group.
- the group having the highest group score may be selected as the best group, in other embodiments, the group having the lowest group score may be selected as the best group.
- the redirector 104 may also consider override conditions, which may cause one group to be chosen over another even if their respective group scores indicate a different choice. Override conditions may include: a specific elevator group may already have a waiting passenger going from the same origin and to the same destination as the service request, or a specific group may already have a waiting passenger going from the same origin as the service request.
- the distance from the DED at which the service request was entered to the furthest car in each group may also be considered; passengers with disabilities may cause the redirector to allocate their service request to the closest group capable of servicing the request as measured by the distance from the particular DED at which the service request was entered.
- a best car from the determined best group is determined by the group controller of the determined best group.
- the passenger is assigned to the determined best group and best car; the assignment may be indicated to the passenger via one of DEDs 105a-d.
- group 101 is a 3 car (lOla-c) low-rise group serving the lobby and floors 1-10.
- Group 102 is a 3 car (102a0c) high-rise group serving the lobby, floor 5, and floors 10-18.
- Floor 5 is a cafeteria floor; during certain times of the day a large proportion of traffic is going to this floor. The goal is to balance traffic between groups 101 and 102.
- group 101 has 12 people in the lobby: 8 waiting for car 101a and 4 waiting for car 101b.
- group 102 has 22 people waiting in the lobby: 7 waiting for car 102a, 7 waiting for car 102b, and 8 waiting for car 102c.
- group 102 cars 102a-c 2 in car 102a, and 3 in car 102b.
- the group controllers 103a-b determine group scores for their respective group, and communicate the determined group scores to redirector 104 in order to allow redirector 104 to determine a best group to service the request based on the group scores.
- the group score for a group is the average of the number of people currently in the group's elevator lobby and the total number of people in all of the elevator cars in the group; therefore, the group score for group 101 is 14, and the group score for group 102 is 13.5.
- the group score is better for group 102 than for group 101; therefore, the redirector 104 assigns the service request is assigned to group 102.
- Group controller 103b of group 102 then selects the best car from among cars 102a-c; the selection may be based on the estimated wait time for the various cars in group 102.
- the individual cars in the elevator system 100 are not evaluated until after the best group is selected.
