Description

  Embodiments of the present invention relate to an elevator group management control device.

  A group management control device that performs group management control of elevators of a plurality of units generally generates a hall call from among a plurality of units based on an assigned evaluation value for each unit calculated based on a length of a hall waiting time or the like. The assigned unit to be assigned is determined. However, for example, if the user who performed the hall call is a woman and only a male user is in the assigned car in the car that arrived at the hall in response to this hall call, In some cases, the user does not get on the car in order to avoid sharing with the users in the car, and as a result, the service efficiency of the elevator may be reduced.

  In the control of the operation of a single elevator, for example, a technique for preventing carpooling by restricting the ride in the car to only one user and directly driving the car to the destination floor of the boarded user is known. Are known. However, elevators that are group-managed are installed in an environment with a large number of users. Therefore, if such operation control is directly applied to group-management control, there is a concern that service efficiency will be significantly reduced.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the combination evaluation value table. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the assignment management table. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating another example of determining the attribute of the user in the car. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure performed by the group management control device according to the embodiment.

  Hereinafter, specific embodiments of an elevator group management control device to which the present invention is applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The embodiment described below is an example of application to a group control elevator system called DCS (Destination Control System) that allows a user to specify a destination floor at a landing. However, the present invention can be effectively applied to a general group management elevator system in which a user specifies only a destination direction at a landing.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration example of a group management control device 1 according to the present embodiment. The group management control device 1 is a device that assigns hall calls to each of the units (group management control) while monitoring the operating states of the elevators of a plurality of units. For example, the microcomputer includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like. And the programs executed by the microcomputer implement the functional units shown in FIG.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the group management control device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a database 10, a landing attribute determination unit 2, an in-car attribute determination unit 3, an operation state monitoring unit 4, and an assigned unit determination unit 5 , A response command output unit 6 and a table update unit 7. The group management control device 1 is connected to a hall operating device 21 and a hall camera 22 provided at the halls on each floor. Further, the group management control device 1 is connected to an elevator control device 31 for each car that individually controls the operation of the car 30 of each car to be subjected to the group management control.

  The database 10 holds a combination evaluation value table 11 and an assignment management table 12. The combination evaluation value table 11 stores, for each combination of user attributes, a combination evaluation value indicating whether or not the combination is suitable for sharing. Based on the combination evaluation value table 11, the attribute of the hall user who performed the new hall call operation (hall attribute) and the use of the car in the car 30 when the hall user gets on the car 30 A combination evaluation value corresponding to the combination with the attribute of the person (attribute in the car) is obtained.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of the combination evaluation value table 11 held by the database 10. The combination evaluation value table 11 shown in FIG. 2 is a simple example in which user attributes are classified into four types: A: adult male, B: adult female, C: boy, and D: girl. As the combination evaluation value, a value between 0 and 1 is set, and a larger value indicates that the combination of the attributes is not suitable for sharing. For example, the combination of the hall attribute B and the in-car attribute A corresponds to a scene in which an adult woman gets on a car on which an adult man is riding, and in this case, it is assumed that the psychological burden of the hall user on the sharing is large. Therefore, the combination evaluation value is set to a high value of 0.8. On the other hand, a combination in which the hall attribute and the in-car attribute have the same attribute is assumed to have a low psychological burden on the hall users for the sharing, so the combination evaluation value is set to a low value of 0.1.

  In the example of FIG. 2, the user attributes are classified into four general classifications based on gender and whether or not they are adults for the sake of simplicity. May be divided. For example, the user's attributes are not classified as adults or not, but are classified according to the age of every 10 years. Other classification criteria such as the user's clothing, personal belongings, body type, and whether the user is a single person or a group of people. And may be finely divided.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the assignment management table 12 held by the database 10. The assignment management table 12 stores information on currently assigned calls for each of a plurality of units to be subjected to group management control. In the present embodiment, since an example of application to DCS is assumed, the information of the hall call specifying the destination floor is stored in the assignment management table 12. That is, when a car to which a hall call specifying a destination floor is assigned (assigned car) is determined by an assigned car determination unit 5 described later, the departure floor where the user gets on the car 30 (that is, The floor call where the hall call was made), the destination floor where the user gets off the car 30, and the information on the hall call including the user's attribute are stored as new records in the allocation management table 12 in association with the assigned car number. Is done. This information of the hall call is deleted from the assignment management table 12 when the car 30 arrives at the destination floor and the user gets off. The allocation management table 12 illustrated in FIG. 3 includes, for example, a hall call for transporting the user of the attribute A to the first car from the second floor to the third floor and a hall call for transporting the user of the attribute C from the third floor to the eighth floor. Are assigned.

  The hall attribute determining unit 2 determines an attribute (hall attribute) of a hall call user who has performed a new hall call operation. For example, the hall attribute determination unit 2 acquires a video of the state of the hall from the hall camera 22 installed on the floor on the floor where the hall user has operated the hall operating device 21 and called the hall, The hall attribute is determined by analyzing this video. The hall attribute is obtained by extracting an image feature of the hall user from the video acquired from the hall camera 22 and identifying the type of the attribute classified as described above using a classifier such as a neural network based on the image feature. Can be determined. Here, the hall attribute is determined using the image of the hall camera 22, but, for example, the hall attribute is determined by reading the personal information of the hall user stored in the IC card or the IC tag. It may be.

  The information on the hall attribute determined by the hall attribute determining unit 2 is transmitted to the assigned car determining unit 5. The function of the hall attribute determining unit 2 is provided on the hall side, and information on the hall attribute determined by the hall attribute determining unit 2 is provided together with information on the hall call according to the operation of the hall operating device 21 by the hall user. A configuration for transmitting the information to the assigned unit determining unit 5 may be used.

  The in-car attribute determining unit 3 determines the attributes (in-car attributes) of the in-car users who share the car in the car 30 when the hall user gets into the car 30 for each of the plurality of cars subject to the group management control. judge. For example, the in-car attribute determining unit 3 obtains information on a new hall call from the hall operating device 21 operated by the hall user, and refers to the assignment management table 12 stored in the database 10 to make each car current. Get the information of the assigned hall call. Then, for each of the plurality of cars to be subjected to the group management control, the car interior attribute determination unit 3 determines that a new hall call and a car 30 with the same travel overlap among the currently allocated hall calls. The attribute of the user of the hall call is determined as the in-car attribute.

  Explaining with a specific example, in a state where the assignment management table 12 illustrated in FIG. 3 is held in the database 10, a new hall call specifying the sixth floor as a destination floor has been made in the second floor. I do. In this case, of the hall calls currently assigned to the first car, the hall call having the departure floor B2, the destination floor 3 and the user attribute Attribute A has a new floor call from the second floor to the third floor. The hall call and the travel of the car 30 overlap. Therefore, the in-car attribute determining unit 3 determines the attribute A, which is the user attribute of the hall call, as the in-car attribute of the first car. Similarly, of the hall calls currently assigned to the first car, the hall call whose departure floor is 3 floors, the destination floor is 8 floors, and the user attribute is attribute C is new between 3 floors and 6 floors. The hall call and the travel of the car 30 overlap. Therefore, the in-car attribute determining unit 3 also determines the attribute C, which is the user attribute of the hall call, as the in-car attribute of the first car. That is, in the case of this example, the in-car attribute determining unit 3 determines that the in-car attributes of the first car are the attributes A and C. The attributes of the other cars can be determined by the same method.

  In addition, the in-car attribute determining unit 3 further determines, for each of the plurality of cars to be subjected to the group management control, the number of shared floors in which the hall users and the in-car users share in the car 30. As described above, the number of shared floors is the number of floors in which the travel of the car 30 overlaps between the hall call currently assigned to each car and the new hall call. For example, using the above example, if the hall user gets into the car 30 of the first car, the hall user will share the car with the attribute A car from the second floor to the third floor. Therefore, the number of shared floors corresponding to the in-car attribute A of the first car is two. In addition, when the hall user gets into the car 30 of the first car, the hall user rides with the car in the car of the attribute C from the third floor to the sixth floor, so the car property of the first car is The number of shared floors corresponding to C is four.

  Information on the in-car attribute and the number of shared floors for each car determined by the in-car attribute determining unit 3 is transmitted to the assigned car determining unit 5. Note that the in-car attribute determining unit 3 may be configured to determine only the in-car attribute of each car and not to determine the number of shared floors. In this case, only the information on the in-car attributes of each car is transmitted from the in-car attribute determining unit 3 to the assigned car determining unit 5.

  In the above description, the in-car attribute determining unit 3 determines the in-car attribute and the number of shared floors for each of the plurality of cars using the assignment management table 12 held in the database 10. As shown in FIG. 4, when the in-car camera 32 is installed in the car 30 of each car, a method similar to that of the hall attribute determination unit 2 is used by using the video taken by the in-car camera 32. It is also possible to determine the attributes of the users in the car (attributes in the car). That is, when information on a new hall call is transmitted from the hall operating device 21 operated by the hall user, the in-car attribute determining unit 3 sends the information from the in-car camera 32 installed in the car 30 of each car to the Get a video of the inside of the room. Then, the in-car attribute judging unit 3 assumes that the user riding in the car 30 at this time is a car user sharing in the car 30 with the hall user, and the in-car camera 32 Using the acquired video, the attribute of the in-car user (at-car attribute) can be determined by the same method as that of the hall attribute determination unit 2.

  Further, when the in-car camera 32 is capturing an image of a user performing an operation of designating a destination floor by the in-car operation device 33 installed in the car 30, the in-car attribute determining unit 3 performs the process shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, by acquiring the operation information of the in-car operating device 33 together with the video taken by the in-car camera 32, the destination floor of the user in the car 30 can be known, and this user can use the hall. It is possible to judge whether or not the car is a user in the car to be shared with the car. In this case, the in-car attribute determining unit 3 can more accurately determine the in-car attribute based on the video taken by the in-car camera 32.

  The operation state monitoring unit 4 collects information indicating the operation state of each of the cars (the current position and the traveling direction of the car 30 and whether the car is moving or stopped) from the elevator control device 31 of each of the cars to be subjected to the group management control. Then, the operation status of each unit is comprehensively monitored. Then, the operating state monitoring unit 4 transmits to the assigned unit determining unit 5 information necessary for the assigned unit determining unit 5 to calculate a basic evaluation value for each unit to be described later.

  The operating state monitoring unit 4 has a function of updating the assignment management table 12 stored in the database 10 according to the operating state of each car. That is, the operating state monitoring unit 4 determines, from the information of the hall calls for each car stored in the assignment management table 12, that the hall call whose response is completed when the car 30 arrives at the destination floor and the user gets off the car. Erase the information of.

  The assigned car determination unit 5 monitors the hall attributes determined by the hall attribute determination unit 2, the car attributes and the number of shared floors of each car determined by the in-car attribute determination unit 3, and the operation state monitoring unit 4. Then, based on the operation state of each of the units, the allocation evaluation value for each of the plurality of units to be subjected to the group management control is calculated. Then, the assigned car determination unit 5 determines an assigned car to which a new hall call is to be assigned from among the plurality of car, based on the calculated assignment evaluation value for each car.

  For example, the assigned car determination unit 5 determines, for each of the plurality of cars to be subjected to the group management control, a combination of the hall attribute determined by the hall attribute determination unit 2 and the in-car attribute determined by the in-car attribute determination unit 3. Is compared with the combination evaluation value table 11 held by the database 10 to obtain a combination evaluation value for each of the plurality of units. At this time, when a plurality of in-car attributes are determined for one car, a combination evaluation value for each of the in-car attributes is obtained. In addition, the assigned car determination unit 5 obtains, for example, a value obtained by dividing the number of shared floors determined by the in-car attribute determination unit 3 by the total number of floors of the building as the degree of sharing, and the combined evaluation value. By multiplying the degree, the carpool evaluation value for each of the plurality of cars is calculated. At this time, when a plurality of car attributes and the number of shared floors are determined for one car, a shared evaluation value for each car attribute is calculated.

  Explaining this by giving a specific example, in a state where the combination evaluation value table 11 illustrated in FIG. 2 and the assignment management table 12 illustrated in FIG. It is assumed that there is a new hall call designated as a floor, and the hall attribute determining unit 2 has determined that the hall user attribute (hall hall attribute) is attribute B. In this case, as described above, the attributes (in-car attributes) of the in-car user of the first car are determined to be the attributes A and C by the in-car attribute determining unit 3, and the in-car attribute A of the first car is determined. The corresponding number of shared floors is 2, and the number of shared floors corresponding to the in-car attribute C of the first car is determined to be 4.

  Here, assuming that the total number of floors of the building is 12, the degree of sharing of the car attribute A of the first car is 1/6 by dividing the number of sharing floors 2 by the total number of floors 12. Then, since the combination evaluation value for the combination of the hall attribute B and the in-car attribute A is 0.8, the carpool evaluation value for the in-car attribute A of the first car is 0.8 multiplied by 1/6, It becomes about 0.13. In addition, the sharing degree of the car attribute C of the first car is 1/3 by dividing the number of shared floors 4 by the total number of floors 12. Then, since the combination evaluation value for the combination of the hall attribute B and the in-car attribute C is 0.2, the carpool evaluation value for the car attribute C of the first car is 0.2 multiplied by 1/3, It is approximately 0.07.

  The assigned unit determination unit 5 calculates a basic evaluation value for each of the plurality of units to be subjected to the group management control using the information acquired from the operation state monitoring unit 4, and calculates the basic evaluation value as described above. By adding the combined riding evaluation values, an assignment evaluation value for each of the plurality of cars is calculated. When a plurality of carpool evaluation values are calculated for one car, the plurality of carpool evaluation values are respectively added to the basic evaluation value of the car. For example, in the above-described example, the carpool evaluation value 0.13 for the car attribute A and the carpool evaluation value 0.07 for the car attribute C are calculated as the carpool evaluation values of the first car. The evaluation value is a value obtained by adding 0.13 and 0.07 to the basic evaluation value.

  The basic evaluation value is an evaluation value corresponding to the length of the hall waiting time of each car (that is, the time required for the car 30 to arrive at the hall when the car responds to the hall call), for example, It is calculated by multiplying the landing waiting time by a predetermined coefficient α. The basic evaluation value may be calculated by adding parameters other than the length of the hall waiting time, such as the number of users in the car 30.

  The above-described method of calculating the allocation evaluation value is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this example. The allocation evaluation value may be calculated in consideration of at least the combination of the hall attribute and the in-car attribute. For example, in the above example, the combined evaluation value according to the combination of the hall attribute and the in-car attribute is multiplied by the degree of sharing according to the number of shared floors to calculate a shared evaluation value, and the shared evaluation value is calculated as the basic evaluation value. Although the evaluation value is added to calculate the allocation evaluation value, more simply, the allocation evaluation value according to the combination of the hall attribute and the in-car attribute is added to the basic evaluation value to calculate the allocation evaluation value. Is also good. In this case, it is not necessary to determine the number of shared floors, and the allocation evaluation value in consideration of the combination of the hall attribute and the in-car attribute can be calculated more easily.

  The assigned car determination unit 5 determines an assigned car to which a new hall call is to be assigned among the plurality of car units based on the allocation evaluation value calculated as described above for each of the plurality of car units to be subjected to the group management control. I do. In the above example, since the allocation evaluation value having a lower value is calculated so as to be suitable for allocating a new hall call, the allocation unit determination unit 5 determines that the calculated allocation evaluation value is the minimum among the plurality of units. Is determined as the assigned unit. The information on the assigned car determined by the assigned car determination unit 5 is transmitted to the response command output unit 6. Further, when determining the assigned car to which the new hall call is to be assigned, the assigned car determining unit 5 associates the information of the new hall call (departure floor, destination floor, user attribute) with the assigned car and assigns the assigned car management table. 12 is stored.

  The response command output unit 6 outputs a hall call response command to the elevator control device 31 of the assigned car determined by the assigned car determination unit 5. The elevator control device 31 of the assigned car controls the operation of the car 30 in response to the hall call response command from the response command output unit 6 and responds to the hall call.

  After the car 30 of the assigned car determined by the assigned car determining unit 5 arrives at the hall where the new hall call was made, the table updating unit 7 determines whether or not the hall user actually got on the car 30 of the assigned car. The combination evaluation value stored in the combination evaluation value table 11 is updated in accordance with the combination. Whether or not the hall user has boarded the car 30 of the assigned car can be determined by, for example, analyzing the hall image captured by the hall camera 22.

  For example, when the attribute of the hall user (hall attribute) is attribute B and the car with the attribute of the user in the car (car attribute) is attribute C, the table updating unit 7 determines that When the hall user does not get on the car, the combination evaluation value corresponding to the combination of the hall attribute B and the in-car attribute C among the combination evaluation values stored in the combination evaluation value table 11 is increased. Update. Further, when a hall user gets on the assigned car, the combination evaluation value corresponding to the combination of the hall attribute B and the in-car attribute C may be updated to be lower.

  Further, the table updating unit 7 does not update the combination evaluation value each time the car 30 of the assigned car determined by the assigned car determination unit 5 arrives at the hall where a new hall call has been made. For each combination with the car attributes, the boarding history of whether or not the hall user has boarded the assigned car 30 is accumulated for a predetermined number of times, and the combination evaluation value is updated at an arbitrary timing based on the boarding history. It may be performed. In this case, the table updating unit 7 determines, for each combination of the hall attribute and the in-car attribute, a combination evaluation value according to the ratio of the number of times the hall user has boarded the car 30 of the assigned car and the number of times the board user has not boarded. Determine the degree of update. That is, if the number of times the hall user has not boarded the car 30 of the assigned car is larger than the number of times the boarding user has boarded the car, the combination evaluation value is updated so as to be larger. Enlarge. When the number of times the hall user has boarded the assigned car 30 is larger than the number of times the boarding user did not get on the car 30, the combination evaluation value is updated to be smaller, and the larger the number of times the boarder is, the greater the degree of update is. .

  As described above, by updating the combination evaluation value stored in the combination evaluation value table 11 by the table updating unit 7, the combination evaluation value can be optimized by reflecting the actual boarding history.

  Next, the operation of the group management control device 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure by the group management control device 1 according to the present embodiment. A series of processes shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5 is started each time the hall user operates the hall operating device 21 to make a new hall call.

  When a new hall call operation is performed by the hall user, first, the hall attribute determining unit 2 analyzes the image of the hall camera 22, for example, to determine the hall user's attribute (hall attribute) (step). S101).

  In addition, the in-car attribute determining unit 3 refers to, for example, the allocation management table 12 stored in the database 10 and, for each of the plurality of units to be subjected to the group management control, the attribute of the in-car user (in-car attribute). And the number of shared floors is determined (step S102).

  Next, the assigned car determination unit 5 determines the combination evaluation value table 11 stored in the database 10, the hall attributes determined in step S101, the car attributes and the number of shared floors for each car determined in step S102. , The carpool evaluation value for each of the plurality of cars to be subjected to the group management control is calculated (step S103). Then, the assigned car determination unit 5 uses the reference evaluation value of each car calculated based on the information from the operation state monitoring unit 4 and the carpool evaluation value calculated in step S103 to determine the group management control target. An allocation evaluation value is calculated for each of the plurality of units (step S104).

  Next, the assigned car determination unit 5 determines an assigned car that responds to a new hall call among a plurality of cars to be subjected to group management control based on the assignment evaluation value calculated in step S104 (step S105). Then, the information of the assigned number is transmitted to the response command output unit 6. Further, the assigned car number determination unit 5 stores the information of the hall call in the assignment management table 12 held by the database 10 in association with the assigned car number (step S106).

  Then, the response command output unit 6 outputs a hall call response command to the elevator control device 31 of the assigned car (step S107), and the series of processes illustrated in the flowchart of FIG. 5 ends.

  As described above in detail with reference to specific examples, the group management control device 1 according to the present embodiment includes an attribute (a hall attribute) of a hall user who has performed a new hall call operation and its use. When an operator gets on the car 30, an assignment evaluation value for each of the plurality of cars to be subjected to the group management control is calculated by using an attribute (car attribute) of the car user sharing the car in the car 30, An assigned car to which a new hall call is assigned is determined based on the assignment evaluation value. Therefore, according to the group management control device 1 according to the present embodiment, the most suitable car that takes into account the psychological burden of the hall users for the carpooling in the car 30 is assigned to the hall call, thereby suppressing a decrease in service efficiency. can do.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the carpool evaluation value based on the combination evaluation value according to the combination of the hall attribute and the in-car attribute and the number of carpool floors in which the hall user and the car user cooperate in the car 30. Is calculated, and the shared evaluation value is added to the basic evaluation value corresponding to the length of the hall waiting time to calculate the assigned evaluation value of each car. Therefore, the psychological burden of the hall users on the shared car can be accurately reflected on the assigned evaluation value of each car.

  The embodiment described above can be implemented with various modifications. For example, the embodiment described above assumes an example of application to DCS, but the present invention can also be applied to a general group management elevator system in which only a destination direction is designated by a hall call. In this case, the destination floor of the hall user can be estimated based on, for example, the past operation history of the elevator. In other words, it is held as a driving history which floor the user who got on the car 30 from the landing on each floor actually got off from the car 30, and boarded the floor on which the new floor call was made. The floor with the highest frequency of getting off the user can be estimated as the destination floor of the hall user who has made a new hall call. In addition, the destination floor of the in-car user can be determined by analyzing the video taken by the in-car camera 32, as described above.

  When the number of shared floors is not used for calculating the allocation evaluation value for each car, as described above, the user who is in the car 30 of each car at the time when a new hall call is made is determined. Assuming that the user is in the car, the combination evaluation value corresponding to the combination of the hall attribute determined by analyzing the image of the hall camera 22 and the attribute in the car determined by analyzing the image of the camera 32 in the car. The allocation evaluation value of each unit may be calculated by using this. This makes it possible to more easily determine the assigned car in consideration of the psychological burden of the hall users on the shared car.

However, the above-described embodiments have been presented as examples, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The embodiment described above can be implemented in other various forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
