In rule 1 and rule 6, a call assignment control method for executing call assignment according to the highest priority guidance type or executing a guidance display that is not available in the past to prevent assignment that is inconvenient for guidance is set. With this setting, when driving the elevator with guidance displayed so that it does not feel uncomfortable, there is a long waiting time due to the passage of the elevator due to sudden fullness and the increase in the number of assigned calls and basket calls It is useful for unpopular guidance. Rule 7 and Rule 8
Can set guide rules and operation control rules for special floors that have been instructed by the customer before delivery or for special floors that have occurred after delivery. Set by. Rule 3 to Rule 5 may cause an elevator to pass through on the floor where traffic demand is high, because it may occur when the elevator arrives too long or when congestion in the car is determined. It is useful for guidance when it is judged that it is better not to give guidance.

FIG. 10 is a flow chart of the hall call allocation control process described in step E40 of FIG. 8 showing an embodiment of the present invention. In steps F10, F100, and F110, hall call allocation processing for all floors of ascending and descending is sequentially performed. In step F50, it is determined whether or not there is a need for guidance or allocation in the loop. This judgment may judge whether there is a newly generated hall call or simply judge whether there is a call registration. This is a guide rule or call allocation rule and a review or additional allocation due to long waiting or congestion occurrence. The method determines the determination method. If allocation is necessary, proceed to step F60,
If the guidance rule has been selected and decided, the process proceeds to step F80, and if not decided, the process proceeds to step F70. In the guidance method selection process of step F70, the guidance rule is decided by the hall call assignment rule T100 in FIG. To do. In step F80, an elevator is selected from the evaluation values of the waiting time, the congestion degree, and the evaluation value giving priority to the specific floor, and the call is assigned. The rule is the table T of the call assignment rule in FIG.
Determined at 300. In step F90, after the guidance rule is determined, the guidance rule is selectively controlled such that the new hall call registration is not assigned to a vehicle without a signal, or the number of vehicles likely to pass through is not assigned. The selection control of the guide rule is performed from the setting of the parameter table T200 set for each rule of hall call allocation.

Suppose that an ascending hall call is generated on the 8th floor (middle floor M) during the lunch time when traffic demand toward the dining room floor (14th floor) is high. The call is judged in the hall call input / output processing E20 of FIG. 8, and the current car positions of all the cars, the hall calls under the car, and the states of the car calls are judged in E30. Then E
At 35, the mode of traffic demand (at lunch) is determined.
Now, from the settings of the guidance and driving control table shown in FIG. 9, during lunch (L) of the middle class, since the rule 4 (certain guidance) of the hall call assignment rule selection table T100 is set, each hall call assignment rule is set. From the parameter of rule 4 (certain guidance) of the parameter table T200 set to (1), the estimated arrival time after hall call registration is 30
If it is within [seconds], the long-waiting guidance is executed, and if it is over 30 [seconds], the hold guidance is executed. (2) Bidirectional reservation guidance will not be provided. (3) Guidance will be provided in the direction of first service. (4) Priority will be given to hall calls that have already been given, and passengers will be prevented from passing through. (5) Assign and review according to call assignment rule 3 (waiting time and congestion priority). (6) Display reliable guidance. With the above settings, the B-2 type display in FIG. 5 is displayed. When it takes more than 30 seconds to press the hall call button on the 8th floor, the car position is not displayed and “Please wait.” Is displayed in H230 of Fig. 5, which shows the direction of travel of the elevator. Start displaying, 30
When the time is within [seconds], the car position display of H240 "I will arrive soon." Is started. Upon arrival and opening the door, the message "I'm going up." Is displayed. As described above, according to the present embodiment, by setting the guidance rule, the reliable and highly accurate guidance display can be performed.
