Definitions

  • the invention relates to elevator systems. More particularly, the invention relates to a method and to a system for serving user groups in an elevator system.
  • High-rise buildings typically contain a number of elevators, escalators and other corresponding traveling means for transporting people from one floor to another in the building.
  • the group control of the elevator system allocates an elevator car to the use of the passenger on the basis of the traffic situation prevailing in the elevator system and the given optimization criteria.
  • the giving of calls in a conventional elevator system is arranged by disposing up/down pushbuttons on each floor, by means of which the passenger expresses his/her desired direction of travel and further, after the elevator has reached the floor on which the passenger is located, the passenger expresses his/her desired destination floor by means of the car pushbuttons in the elevator car.
  • the method of giving calls described above is, however, impractical and often inefficient, as a result of which the giving of calls in elevator systems is implemented to an increasing extent by means of a so-called destination call system, in which the passenger gives his/her personal destination floor information already at the departure floor, e.g. in the entrance lobby before going into the elevator car.
  • the giving of a destination call takes place by means of a special destination call terminal, either with pushbuttons or by means of an electrically readable identifier, e.g. an RFID (radio frequency identifier) tag. Since in connection with a destination call the departure point and terminal point of the travel route of each passenger is identified and therefore available to the group control, the group control is able to determine the travel route of a passenger precisely and optimally compared to a conventional call-giving system.
  • the objective of allocating calls given by passengers is to assess the different route options for passengers and to give the calls to be served to the elevators in such a way that some performance indicator or a combination of performance indicators describing the elevator system is as good as possible.
  • the most commonly used performance indicators are performance indicators relating to the service times of a passenger but optimization criteria relating to energy or to another corresponding property of the elevator system are also possible.
  • a so-called cost function is generally used to compare route options with each other, the minimization of the value (total cost) of which cost function with different route options expresses the optimal allocation.
  • the allocation can also be implemented such that a suitable cost function for the best traffic situation at that time is taken into use in the different traffic situations of the elevator system.
  • a traffic forecaster In order to identify the prevailing traffic situation, statistical information can be collected about the use of the elevator system according to different 24-hour periods and days of the week, and the future traffic situation of the elevator system can be forecast at any given moment in time on the basis of the statistical data collected.
  • the solution in question is called a traffic forecaster.
  • One prior-art method to improve the transportation capacity of an elevator system is to divide the floors served by the elevator system into zones such that only certain zones are served with a certain elevator or elevators.
  • zoning especially during peak-traffic periods, the waiting times of passengers and other times connected to travel events can be shortened and at the same time the transportation capacity of the elevator system can be improved.
  • the efficiency of zoning can be further improved by changing the zone limits dynamically on the basis of the traffic situation of the elevator system, in which case the group control of the elevator system can quickly adapt to changes occurring in traffic situations.
  • the distribution into zones can also be implemented on the basis of the purpose of usage of the floors and/or on the basis of the user groups using the floors. For example, residential floors, office floors, arrival lobby floors, parking floors, etc., can be determined as their own zones.
  • the US 2004/0144599 and the US 2002/0129994 disclose the zoning of a building as well as the separation of users in user groups.
  • the division of the passengers into different groups is realized by the passengers entering different portals.
  • This solution offers to the different groups access only to a restricted floor level zone.
  • the allocation of a passenger to a certain user group is performed via a passenger indicating or not his ID to the elevator system or by the person using a key.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to disclose a new kind of solution for serving user groups in an elevator system, in which the floors to be served are divided into floor zones.
  • the purpose of the invention is to eliminate the deficiencies occurring in prior- art solutions and to achieve one or more of the following objectives, among others:
  • the method according to the invention is characterized by what is disclosed in the characterization part of claim 1.
  • the elevator system according to the invention is characterized by what is disclosed in the characterization part of claim 10.
  • the present invention discloses a method for serving user groups in an elevator system, wherein the floors to be served are divided into one or more zones.
  • the classification rules for classifying elevator calls into different user groups are determined.
  • the user group of each passenger is determined on the basis of the call information received and also on the basis of the aforementioned classification rules, an elevator car is allocated to each passenger that has given an elevator call, and the passengers allocated to each elevator car are served according to the user group.
  • the present invention also discloses an elevator system for serving user groups, which elevator system comprises at least one elevator group and a group control that controls it, call-giving appliances on the floor landings for receiving call information and for transmitting it to the aforementioned group control, and in which elevator system the floors to be served are divided into one or more zones.
  • the elevator system is arranged to classify passengers into user groups on the basis of the call information received and the classification rules recorded in the elevator, to allocate an elevator car to each passenger that has given an elevator call and also to serve the passengers allocated to each elevator car according to the user group.
  • the user group of the passenger is taken into account in the allocation phase of the elevator car.
  • the different user groups can be served more equally and at the same time the transportation capacity of the elevator system can be optimized.
  • elevator calls on the floors of one or more zones are received as destination calls and on the floors of the other zones as landing calls.
  • information determining the user group of the passenger is received from a terminal device in the possession of the passenger or from the access control system of the building.
  • the destination floors to which travel is possible from each zone are determined in the classification rules.
  • the access control of the building can be implemented in the elevator system with simple arrangements and at the same time ride safety can be improved.
  • the classification rules are changed dynamically on the basis of the time of day and/or the day of the week.
  • the access control of the building can be improved during different times of day.
  • the classification rules are changed on the basis of the traffic situation and/or an exceptional situation prevailing in the elevator system.
  • the transportation capacity of the elevator system and/or another desired property of the elevator system can be dynamically optimized to best correspond to the traffic situation prevailing in the elevator system at any given time.
  • the behavior of the elevator system can be optimized also in exceptional circumstances e.g. when one or more elevators of the elevator system are out of service or when evacuating certain zones e.g. owing to a fire detected in the building.
  • information determined on the basis of the user group is presented to passengers in the elevator lobby and/or in the elevator car and/or in connection with the receipt of an elevator call.
  • up-to-date information targeted at the different user groups can be presented to passengers during the elevator trip.
  • the elevator system uses the user group information in forming a run profile of the elevator car, and the elevator car is controlled according to the run profile.
  • the run profile determines e.g. the speed of travel of the elevator, the acceleration, the door-open time of the doors of the elevator car, etc.
  • two or more user groups are served simultaneously with the different cars of a multicar elevator.
  • the transportation capacity of the elevator system can be raised compared to all the cars of a multicar elevator serving only one user group at the same time.
  • the operation of the elevator system according to the invention can adapt to the traffic situation and/or to the exceptional circumstances prevailing in the elevator system at any given time.
  • the solution according to the invention can be advantageously applied in connection with different types of elevator systems and call-giving systems.
  • the congestion of the building can also be reduced by directing different user groups to different arrival lobbies from where there is access to only the floors reserved for the user groups in question.
  • Other advantages of the invention in connection with the different embodiments of the invention are also presented above. Overall, the service level for passengers improves when it is possible to take into account the needs of different passenger groups, special groups and organizations in the control of the elevator system.
  • Fig. 1 presents an elevator group 1000, in which the solution according to the invention is applied.
  • the elevator group comprises four elevators (A, B, C, D), which serve the floors -2, -1, 0, 1 - 12 of the building.
  • Each elevator comprises an elevator car, a hoisting machine (M1, M2, M3, M4) and an elevator control (C1, C2, C3, C4) that controls the elevator.
  • Call-giving appliances 1301, which are connected to the group control 1300 of the elevator group, are installed on the floor landings in the waiting lobbies of the elevators.
  • Fig. 1 presents an elevator group 1000, in which the solution according to the invention is applied.
  • the elevator group comprises four elevators (A, B, C, D), which serve the floors -2, -1, 0, 1 - 12 of the building.
  • Each elevator comprises an elevator car, a hoisting machine (M1, M2, M3, M4) and an elevator control (C1, C2, C3, C4) that controls the elevator.
  • the call-giving appliances are destination call panels comprising destination call pushbuttons 1305 and also a display means 1304, but they can be landing call appliances provided with up/down pushbuttons on one or more floors, or call-giving appliances based on identification of the passenger, with which the passenger is identified on the basis of an electronic identifier, a bio-identifier or corresponding unique identifier and his/her destination floor and/or his/her user group is determined on the basis of the aforementioned identification.
  • the passenger can have a terminal device (1312) in his/her possession, e.g.
  • a mobile phone or RFID transponder which sends the identification code of the passenger and/or information about the user group of the passenger to the receiving means (1311) on the floor landings and onwards to the group control.
  • the access control system 1400 of the building which can also transmit the identification code of the passenger and/or information about the user group of the passenger to the elevator system, is also connected to the group control.
  • the call data connected to the call is transmitted to the group control. If the call is given as a landing call as in Fig. 1 , the call information determines the departure floor and also the destination floor (target floor) of the passenger. If the call is given as a landing call, the call information determines the departure floor and also the direction of travel of the passenger. In elevator systems comprising elevator cars with two doors, door information is also connected to the call information for collecting the passenger from the correct waiting lobby and/or leaving the passenger in the correct waiting lobby.
  • the identification code that identifies the passenger is transmitted to the group control, on the basis of which the group control can determine indirectly the destination floor and/or the user group of the passenger.
  • the passenger can be provided with a personal terminal device, which transmits the identification code and or the user group information of the passenger to the receiving means on the floor and onwards to the group control.
  • the group control When the group control has received the call information connected to an elevator call of the passenger, it determines the user group of the passenger. Classification rules are recorded in the group control for determining the user group of a passenger, on the basis of which classification rules an elevator call given by a passenger can be classified into a certain user group.
  • Table 1 presents exemplary classification rules of the elevator system according to Fig. 1 , in which the following are determined:
  • zone 2 (parking floor -1) is for use both by employees of the company 1 and by residents of the building.
  • the division between the user groups “Company 1" and “Resident” is performed on the basis of the destination floor given by the passenger such that passengers going to floors 9, 8, 7 and 6 (zone 6) are classified into the user group "Company 1" and correspondingly passengers going to floors 11 and 10 are classified into the user group "Resident”.
  • the additional information that determines the user group can also function as information that directly determines the user group connected to the call information, which is received e.g. from a terminal device in the possession of a passenger.
  • the user group of a free elevator determines the up-and-down or down-and-up trip (the so-called round trip) on the basis of the first passenger allocated to the elevator.
  • the group control allocates an elevator car for the use of the passenger, e.g. using the genetic allocation method in which the optimization criteria are e.g. travel time, waiting time, energy, the fill ratio of the car or some combination of these.
  • Passengers that belong to one or more user groups can be allocated to each elevator. If the allocated passengers belong to several user groups, the user group of a passenger is taken into account in the sequence of serving the calls.
  • the user group connected to a call in the allocation phase can be taken into account such that e.g. the calls possibly already allocated to each elevator car and classified into other user groups, as well as the sequence of serving them specific to the user group, are taken into account in calculating the waiting time of a passenger.
  • the waiting time of the call to be allocated is affected by which calls the elevator car must serve before it can serve the passenger that gave the call.
  • the passenger can be informed of this immediately in connection with giving the call with the display means 1304 of the call giving appliance for guiding the passenger to the allocated elevator.
  • the calls addressed to elevator cars are divided in the group control into the elevator cars to provide service by user group such that the passengers allocated to each elevator car and belonging to the same user group are served at one time.
  • the restriction lasts at the most for one round trip at a time.
  • the restriction is removed when the elevator has served the calls of the user group and is released to serve any user group whatsoever, depending on the service demand and the allocated calls at that time.
  • Each user group can be served with one or more elevators simultaneously depending on the amount of calls per user group and on the optimization criteria of the allocation. If multicar elevators are in use in the elevator system, two or more user groups can be served simultaneously with the same multicar elevator such that the passengers allocated to each elevator car of the multicar elevator are served as their own user groups independently of each other.
  • permitted destination floors or zones are determined for the zones to which travel is possible from the zone. For example, in the zoning according to Table 1 it is possible to travel from zone 7 (residential floors 11 and 10) to the arrival lobby 0 (zone 3), to the parking floor -1 (zone 2), to the restaurant floor 12 (zone 8) and to the residential floors 11 and 10 (zone 7).
  • zone 7 residential floors 11 and 10
  • the giving of destination calls is activated in the destination call panels for only the aforementioned permitted destination floors and correspondingly the giving of destination calls to other destination floors is prevented.
  • the elevator cars are provided with car pushbuttons for registering the destination floor in the elevator car, only the permitted destination floor calls (call buttons) according to those zones from which the elevator is serving collected passengers are activated in the car panel.
  • the elevator thus stops only at those floors permitted to this user group. Since each passenger belongs to some user group, he/she can travel only to the permitted floors determined for his/her user group.
  • the permitted destination floors of the passenger are restricted immediately at the departure floor to apply to only the destination floors in the use of the user group in question. For example, if a passenger in zone 2 (parking floor -1) is classified into the user group "Resident", he/she can travel from the parking floor -1 only to floors 11 and 12 (see Table 1). The elevator allocated to the passenger can stop during the time of the service at only the floors permitted to the user group in question.
  • the determination of permitted destination floors can be fixed or it can change dynamically according to the time of day and/or the day of the week.
  • the access control can thus be changed dynamically, e.g. such that it is possible to travel to certain zones only in the daytime during working hours but otherwise travel is not possible. Since the determination of the permitted destination floors is specific to the zone, travel can if necessary be permitted from a certain zone to another but opposite traffic between the zones can be prevented.
  • An access control system can also be installed in the building, with which access to only certain floors, e.g. to arrival lobbies, is permitted to passengers belonging to certain user groups, from where passengers can travel to only to the permitted floors of each arrival lobby. By dividing the user groups optimally into different arrival lobbies, congestion of the arrival lobbies is avoided and ride comfort in general is improved.
  • the elevator cars are provided with display means or other such information means for notifying passengers in the elevator car of information specific to the user groups.
  • information targeted on the user group in question such as e.g. information about topical events in the building, company-specific news, guidance information, etc.
  • information means can be arranged in connection with the waiting lobbies and/or call-giving appliances, with which information based on which user group the passengers are classified into is transmitted to the passengers.
  • information that is specific to the user group can be presented in connection with the giving of a call with the display means 1304 of the destination call panel as well as with the information means 1310 in the elevator car during the elevator trip.
  • the information presented can be auditory and/or visual information.
  • the traffic situation and/or possible exceptional situations prevailing in the elevator system are monitored in the group control.
  • the group control changes the classification rules such that the elevator system uses the best applicable, dynamically changing zone limits and/or other information affecting the classification of passengers for each traffic situation and/or exceptional situation.
  • the group control can in the classification rules connect two or more user groups into one user group, in which case the allocation and service sequence of calls van be better optimized and thereby the transportation capacity of the elevator system can be improved.
  • the group control comprises a so-called traffic forecaster, which records statistical information about the travel events of the elevator system at different times over the 24-hour period and on weekdays. Information about travel events is obtained on the basis of the calls given by passengers but also the monitoring and statistical recording of different movement detectors, such as the car load weighing signals and/or the car photocell signals, are possible. Utilizing statistical data collected about travel events and the calls given, the traffic forecaster determines the traffic situation prevailing in the elevator system at any given time.
  • run profiles that are specific to the user groups are determined and recorded in the group control, on the basis of which the elevator car is controlled when serving a certain user group with an elevator. For example, if elderly people live in the building, in the run profile the door-open times of the doors of the elevator car can be lengthened and/or the acceleration, etc., of the elevator car reduced when the elevator is serving the user group "Elderly people"
  • the invention can also be applied to elevator systems comprising two or more elevator groups in large buildings. For example, if a passenger has to use an elevator of two different groups to get to the destination floor, the user group information determined for the passenger in connection with call-giving that occurred on the departure floor as well as the destination floor can be transmitted to both elevator groups and the elevator cars can be allocated (and informed) to serve him/her from both elevator groups according to the classification principles presented above. In this case the passenger can conveniently travel to the exchange floor and on the exchange floor move from the elevator of the first elevator group to the elevator of the second elevator group, both of which elevators are allocated to serve the user group into which the passenger is classified.
  • the invention is not limited solely to the embodiments described above, but instead many variations are possible within the scope of the claims.
