Description

  The present invention relates to a group management elevator control device, and more particularly to a group management elevator device that shortens a waiting time at an elevator landing and a method for assigning a boarding car by group management.

  In a relatively large building, a plurality of elevators are installed in order to improve user transportation capacity by elevators, and a system for selecting and servicing the optimal car at the time of call registration at the landing is introduced. Furthermore, as the scale of a building increases, the number of elevators installed increases, and a plurality of elevators are appropriately controlled by a group management device to improve services such as reducing waiting time for users.

  In such a group management elevator apparatus, for example, various systems have been proposed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-78045 (Patent Document 1), Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-81541 (Patent Document 2), and the like.

  In Patent Document 1, an individual recognition device that recognizes individual users who operate landing buttons and measures that individually measures a waiting time until a car arrives after a user registers a landing call Means, first storage means for storing the waiting time, second storage means for averaging and storing the waiting time of the same user, and third storing and averaging the waiting time of all users There is described an elevator assigning device comprising: a storage means; and priority service means for giving priority to a landing call when a user whose individual average waiting time is longer than the total average waiting time registers the landing call.

  According to this, when the same user encounters a long wait many times, distrust and irritability to the elevator increase, and the problem that the user will be dissatisfied with the elevator can be solved. Is.

  Further, Patent Document 2 discloses an allocation evaluation based on information from a destination floor-specific landing device, a landing call generation floor from the destination floor-specific landing device, a call registration information detection unit that detects a destination floor, a call registration information detection unit, and the like. According to the desired service type, an assigned evaluation value calculating unit for calculating a value, an assigned candidate car selecting unit for selecting a candidate car for allocation, a desired service type detecting unit for detecting a desired service type from a destination floor platform device An allocation evaluation function, a call-by-call evaluation function parameter setting unit for setting the parameters, a call-by-call assignment evaluation function calculation unit for calculating the allocation evaluation function, a comprehensive evaluation function calculation unit for calculating the comprehensive evaluation function, A group management elevator apparatus including a comprehensive evaluation assigned car determination unit that determines an assigned car based on a value is described.

  According to this, even if the quality of service desired for each user who generates an individual call is different due to the change of the operation control method according to the schedule and statistical processing results, it is possible to respond to the request individually. It is possible to solve the problem that the quality of service cannot be changed for each call.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-78045 JP 2003-81541 A

  By the way, in the group management elevator apparatus described in patent document 1, priority is given to the service with respect to the passenger of the average waiting time according to an individual longer than the total average waiting time obtained by averaging the waiting time of all the passengers. . Moreover, in the group management elevator apparatus described in the patent document 2, a passenger's desired service is provided for each call.

  In particular, in the group management elevator apparatus of Patent Document 1, the average waiting time for each individual is stored, and a priority service is provided when a user who is longer than the total average waiting time registers a landing call. When a user arrives at the landing, if there are already more than the maximum number of passengers and the average waiting time stored for the user is short, it is considered that the user is not a long-waiting user. In other cases, another passenger car is not guided and the user becomes long-lasting.

  That is, in group management like patent document 1, long wait of a user is managed, and when there is a long wait user, a user's assigned board number is changed to a board number that does not become long wait. Yes. However, in the case of a user who is not waiting for a long time, since it is determined that the user is not waiting for a long time, there is a problem that the user waits for a long time without changing the boarding number. Therefore, in such a case, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 are insufficient to meet this problem.

  It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel group management elevator apparatus that can avoid the situation where passengers with a capacity of one or more passengers cannot get on due to concentration on one boarding car, and can suppress long waits. There is.

  A feature of the present invention is that the destination floor is obtained from the personal identification information of the user, and the boarding machine serving the destination floor is assigned, and the boarding machine assigned to the user is predicted to be congested. This request is made when a request to change the number of passengers is made to the passenger, and it is not confirmed that the number of passengers predicted to be congested will stop on the user's destination floor, or if it is confirmed that the number will be full There is a place to assign a car number to be changed from other car numbers other than the car number.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, it can avoid that the situation where a passenger more than a capacity | capacitance concentrates on one unit, and cannot get on, and long waiting can be suppressed.

However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and various modifications and application examples are included in the technical concept of the present invention. Is included in the range.

  Recently, office buildings have become large-scale, and the elevator devices of this office building are also being managed in groups. In this office building, an ID authentication code, which is personal identification information, is assigned to the user from the viewpoint of security management. For example, an ID authentication code is stored in an IC card, and the ID authentication code is read wirelessly or by a touch sensor.

  Therefore, in the group management elevator device, it is possible to grasp from the read ID authentication code that the user comes to the elevator platform, so the waiting time is shortened by assigning a car to the lobby floor in advance and waiting. A system has been proposed. Such a system is basically intended to shorten the waiting time by waiting for a car on the lobby floor during a time when many people come and go. This embodiment has been made against the background of such a system.

  FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing a main part of a group management elevator apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The group management elevator device includes a plurality of elevator boarding machines 1A to 1N, boarding machine control means 2A to 2N for controlling the boarding machines 1A to 1N, and a building arrival detection means 3A arranged at a position away from the landing. 3N, landing arrival detection means 4 and notification means 5 arranged at the landing, and building arrival detection means 3A to 3N, landing arrival detection means 4 and notification means 5 are connected to the user who manages information about the user. A management means 6 and a group management control means 7 for taking in various information from the user management means 6 and the boarding machine control means 2A to 2N and carrying out group management control of the boarding machines 1A to 1N are provided. Here, the user management means 6 and the group management control means 7 are collectively referred to as group management means GM.

  The elevator floors 1A to 1N of the elevators have service floors set for each of the buses. For example, the elevators go straight to the top floor, go straight to the middle floor, and then each floor A boarding machine that stops on the floor, a boarding machine that stops on all floors, a boarding machine that stops on floors up to a predetermined floor, and the like are set.

  The building arrival detection means 3A to 3N arranged at the entrance / exit of the building where the elevator is installed detect both the arrival of the user at the building and the personal identification information of the user before arriving at the landing. The landing arrival detection means 4 is arranged at a landing closer to the elevator entrance than the building arrival detection means 3A to 3N, and detects that the user has arrived at the landing.

  The notification means 5 is arranged in the vicinity of the landing arrival detection means 4 and guides the changed assigned boarding number to the user who has decided to change the boarding number. The notification means 5 can employ a notification method using a display screen, a notification method using sound such as a speaker, or a combination of these.

  User management means 6 includes building arrival detection means 3A to 3N and arrival detection section 8 that captures arrival information from landing arrival detection means 4, waiting time information of all users registered in the building, User information management unit 9 that stores information and personal identification information in association with each other and, as will be described in detail later, obtains and manages current operation information and future operation information of each boarding car from group management control means 7 The operation information management unit 10 is provided.

  Further, when it is detected from the building arrival detection means 3A to 3N that the user has arrived in the building, past waiting time information is acquired from the user information management unit 9 using the personal identification information of the user. The waiting time calculation unit 11 is provided for calculating the long waiting frequency and the current predicted waiting time.

  Further, a user information transmission unit 12 that transmits calculation result information such as a long wait frequency calculated by the wait time calculation unit 11 and a predicted wait time to the group management control unit 7, and a group management control unit 7 which will be described in detail later. Is provided with a change information notifying unit 13 for managing the changed board number information to be notified to the user when a change of the boarding number is determined.

  The group management control means 7 takes in various information from the boarding machine control means 2A to 2N, manages the current operation information and the future operation information, and the user of the user management means 6 A user information management unit 15 that takes in information from the information transmission unit 12 and manages user calculation result information and boarding machine information is provided.

  In addition, a function for creating a request for changing the boarding number for a user with a long waiting frequency by using the past long waiting frequency and the predicted waiting time, which are calculation result information of the user information management unit 15, and congestion are present. Provided with a change request creation unit 16 having a function of creating a change request when the predicted boarding machine is not confirmed to stop at the user's destination floor or when it is predicted that the boarding will be full ing.

  Furthermore, the operation information review unit 17 having a function of correcting the operation information of the change source and the change destination vehicle when changing the boarding number, the change information notifying unit 13 and the operation information management unit determining the change 14 and the operation information determination part 18 provided with the function to notify boarding machine control means 2A-2N.

  FIG. 2 is a plan view of the vicinity of the landing showing an installation example of the building arrival detection means 3 and the landing arrival detection means 4 described above.

  On the lobby floor, building entrances 19, 20, and 21 leading to the elevator entrance / exit are formed. In each entrance 19 to 21, a building that detects the arrival of a user and personal identification information The arrival detection means 3A to 3N are arranged in a distributed manner.

  In addition, landing arrival detection means 4 for detecting that the user has arrived at the landing 23 is installed at the landing gateway 22 through which the user entering from each of the entrances 19 to 21 passes to go to the exit / exit. ing. In the vicinity of the landing arrival detection means 4, an informing means 5 for notifying the change contents when a change of the boarding car occurs is arranged.

  The landing arrival detection means 4 may be a means for detecting that the user has arrived at the landing and personal identification information as in the building arrival detection means 3A to 3N, or may be configured as a call registration means for performing a call registration operation. It is also possible to detect that the user has arrived at the landing.

  As described above, the landing arrival detection means 4 and the building arrival detection means 3A to 3N can monitor the personal identification information of the user and the movement state of the user. By utilizing these information, the user can be monitored. The operation of the boarding machines 1A to 1N is managed by the group management means GM so as not to cause a long wait.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the relationship between each floor of the building and the stop floor of each boarding car. Each of the car numbers 1A to 1N serves from the 1st floor to the 5th floor, but in normal operation, the boarding machine 1A is limited to service to the 1st floor, 2nd floor, and 3rd floor. ing. Moreover, the boarding machine 1B is limited only to the service to the 1st floor and the 4th floor, and the boarding machine 1N is limited only to the service to the 1st floor and the 5th floor. In addition, each boarding machine 1A-1N may have several boarding machines which perform the same service, respectively.

  As a result, a user on the upper floor can go to the upper floor in a short time using the boarding machine 1B or the boarding machine 1C, and a user on the lower floor can use the boarding machine 1A to go to the first floor, 2 Go to the floor and the third floor, but you can go to each floor in a short time by shortening the operation interval of other boarding cars. Of course, it is not limited to such services, and other services may be adopted. Thus, the operation efficiency of an elevator can be improved if the floor to serve for every boarding car is decided.

  Furthermore, FIG. 4 is explanatory drawing explaining the relationship between each boarding number machine and a user. As shown in FIG. 4, a boarding number is assigned in advance to each user A to Z according to the use floor. In an office building, there are cases where different business operators are occupying, or even the same business operator belongs to different organizational units.

  For this reason, since the floor is determined corresponding to the business operator to which the user belongs and the organizational department to which the user belongs, the boarding number of the user is assigned accordingly. For this purpose, personal identification information is detected from the landing arrival detection means 4 and the building arrival detection means 3A to 3N.

  For example, in the case of corresponding to FIG. 3, the boarding number 1A is assigned in advance to the user A corresponding to the use floor (in this case, one of the first, second, and third floors). It has been. In addition, the user B is also assigned in advance with the boarding machine 1A corresponding to the use floor (in this case, one of the first, second, and third floors). Furthermore, the passenger number 1B or the passenger number 1N is assigned to the users Y and Z in advance corresponding to the usage floor (in this case, the fourth floor or the fifth floor).

  Therefore, each user passes through the building arrival detection means 3A to 3N and the landing arrival detection means 4 so that a boarding machine corresponding to the user is assigned in advance every moment. The assigned boarding number is notified to the user by the notification means 5. Such a system is defined as an individual passenger number fixing system.

  Since the elevator system to be used by the individual does not change almost every day, the individual passenger car fixing system can realize a smoother flow of people to the elevator entrance than the system in which the passenger car is instructed every time. The user can also reduce the chance of forgetting the name of the boarding machine instructed during walking and registering the destination floor again.

  In addition, the individual boarding machine fixed system is only implemented during busy hours such as work hours and lunch hours, and it is not implemented under normal conditions such as normal hours and quiet hours, and priority is given to waiting time. It is also possible to improve operation efficiency throughout the day.

Further, when there is an elevator that cannot be used due to daily learning conditions, or because of an elevator that cannot be used due to maintenance, inspection, or failure, the user's boarding number may be changed in advance.
Next, a description will be given of a method for assigning boarding numbers by this individual number fixing system.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a boarding machine change process in the group management elevator apparatus described above. In addition, since the control step described below can be replaced as a control function, it may be expressed as a function in the claims.

  First, in step S1, the arrival detection unit 8 monitors the arrival of the user. For example, the building arrival detection means 3A detects that the user A has arrived at the building entrance 19. If the user cannot be detected by the building arrival detection means 3A, the process returns to step S1 and the monitoring operation is continued. Then, the arrival detection unit 8 takes in the arrival information of the user A and the personal identification information of the user A detected by the building arrival detection unit 3A, and outputs them to the waiting time calculation unit 11.

  The waiting time calculation unit 11 acquires the boarding machine information, the destination floor information, the past long wait information, and the like related to the user A shown in FIG. 4 from the storage table of the user information management unit 9, and the operation information management unit 10 To obtain the current operation information of the current boarding machine and the future operation information, and calculate the predicted waiting time for the user A. However, in the present embodiment, the long wait information processing in the past is not particularly related, and thus the description thereof will be omitted, and processing using the boarding car information, personal identification information, and destination floor information will be described.

  The waiting time calculation unit 11 transmits the boarding number information, personal identification information, and destination floor information from the user information transmission unit 12 to the user information management unit 15 of the group management control means 7. This process is performed each time the users A to Z are detected by the building arrival detection means 3A to 3N, and a plurality of uses are made until the boarding machine actually assigned to the user information management unit 15 departs. Information about the person is held. When this is completed, the process proceeds to step S2. From here, the following control steps are controlled by the group management control means 7.

  In the following description, a plurality of users including the user A going to the third floor has already been detected by the boarding machine 1A, and then the user B going to the second floor by the boarding machine 1A is detected by the building arrival detection means 3A. It is assumed that the boarding rate of the boarding car 1A is detected at this time and exceeds a predetermined set value, and congestion is expected. Therefore, it is difficult for the user B to get on the boarding machine 1A.

  In step S <b> 2, the change request creation unit 16 uses the user B boarding machine information held in the user information management unit 15 to determine whether or not the corresponding boarding machine 1 </ b> A is expected to be congested. It has a function to do.

  If congestion is not predicted in step S2, normal processing is performed, user B is assigned to the boarding car 1A, and the process ends after completing the process. Even in this case, the notification means 5 notifies the user B that it is assigned to the boarding car 1A.

  However, as a result of this determination, if it is predicted that the boarding car 1A will be in a congested state, the change request creation unit 16 notifies the operation information review unit 17 of a boarding machine change request signal. Here, although the detailed description is omitted, the change request creating unit 16 may add a past long wait information and set a threshold value for determining whether to generate a change request signal for the boarding car.

  The operation information review unit 17 that has received the change request signal for the boarding machine changes the boarding machine based on various information captured from the operation information management unit 14 in steps S3 to S8 described below. The operation information of the change source and the change destination board will be reviewed.

  First, in step S <b> 3, it is determined whether or not the boarding machine 1 </ b> A has been confirmed to stop on the second floor, which is the destination floor of the user B, by the destination floor stop confirmation determination function of the operation information review unit 17.

  If it is determined in step S3 that the stop on the second floor has been confirmed, the process proceeds to step S4, and is it predicted that the boarding number 1A scheduled to be boarded will be filled by the full prediction determination function of the operation information review unit 17? Determine if. If it is determined in step S3 that the boarding machine 1A will stop at the destination floor of the user B, and there is no full prediction of the boarding machine 1A in step S4, the user B will use the boarding machine 1A as usual. Since it is possible to move to the destination floor on the second floor, this is also ended and the present process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the destination floor stop confirmation determination function determines in step S3 that the stop on the second floor, which is the destination floor of the user B, is not confirmed, and in step 4, the boarding is performed by the full capacity prediction determination function. When it is determined that the unit 1A is predicted to be full, the process proceeds to step S5. Here, the crowd is not only using the usage information collected from each detection device, but also learning daily elevator usage, using current sensors in the building, and human flow simulation based on daily flow information. By predicting, the prediction accuracy can be further improved.

  In step S5, the destination floor stop determination function of the operation information review unit 17 determines whether there is another boarding machine (1B to 1N) scheduled to stop on the destination floor (second floor) of the user B. To do. As a result, if there is a boarding machine to be stopped, the process proceeds to step S6, and if there is no boarding machine to be stopped, the process proceeds to step S7.

  In step S <b> 6, the temporary change function of the operation information review unit 17 temporarily changes the assignment to all boarding stations scheduled to stop on the destination floor (second floor) of the user B. On the other hand, in step S7, the assignment is temporarily changed to all the boarding machines that are not scheduled to stop on the second floor and are not expected to be full. As a result, allocation candidates for boarding cars other than the boarding machine 1A of user B are respectively determined. From this allocation candidate, an appropriate boarding number that does not cause a long wait for the user B is selected.

  In this way, the user A going to the third floor has already been detected by the boarding machine 1A, and then the user B going to the second floor is detected by the boarding machine 1A, and at this time the boarding rate of the boarding machine 1A is predetermined. For example, the user A will continue to use the personalized car number fixed system 1A, but the user who goes to the second floor will be in a situation where congestion is expected to exceed 80%, for example 80% B is changed to one or more other boarding machines instead of the individual boarding machine fixed system boarding machine 1A, and becomes split allocation. When the candidates for the user B's boarding machine are determined, the process proceeds to step S8. Here, the predetermined setting value of the boarding rate can be improved according to the time zone and traffic flow, thereby improving convenience and operation efficiency.

  Thereafter, in step S8, the one-round time determination function of the operation information review unit 17 creates a predicted route for each temporarily-changed car number and calculates one-round time. The change is decided as an appropriate boarding machine in consideration of the expected route information of the boarding machine whose increase is smaller.

  Here, the round-trip time means the time required when a certain car departs from the departure floor and performs service, and then returns to the departure floor again. Temporary allocation is made in steps S6 and S7. All the required time of the changed boarding machine is calculated. For example, if the boarding machine 1B is determined here, the boarding machine 1B stops on the second floor, which is the destination floor of the user B that does not stop in normal operation.

  And in the boarding machine 1B by the boarding machine control means 2B, an adjustment is made to the operation route before the change that goes back and forth between the first floor and the fourth floor, and the changed operation route that services the first floor, the second floor, and the fourth floor. The operation route will be changed. Along with this change, the user B can get on the boarding car 1B, so that the user B is prevented from waiting for a long time. If the user B is on the second floor, the boarding machine control means 2B is again returned to the original operation route before the change. Of course, if there is a boarding machine that stops on the second floor, it is possible to execute a service that stops the user B on the second floor without changing the operation route.

  As can be seen from these explanations, the operation information reviewing unit 17 determines that the crowded passenger car 1A is not confirmed to stop at the destination floor of the user B, or at the destination floor of the user B. Even if it is confirmed that the vehicle will stop, it will function to determine the appropriate car number from the other car numbers other than the car number 1A based on the individual car number fixing method. It is. Then, when it is determined in step S8 that a change to a boarding machine having the smallest increase in the round time is determined, the process proceeds to step S9.

  Here, the operation information review unit 17 monitors whether or not the user B has arrived at the landing by the information of the arrival detection unit 8 of the user management means 3. Therefore, when the user B is detected by the landing arrival detection means 4 in step S9, this detection information is notified to the operation information review unit 17, and the operation information review unit 17 is reviewed by the operation information determination unit 18 at this time. Send information. After this, the process proceeds to step S10. In addition, it is possible to further reduce the waiting time by using the equidistant property of each elevator car at a predetermined estimated interval as an evaluation index.

  In step S 10, the operation information determination unit 18 that has received the review information sends the change information to the change information notification unit 13 of the user management means 6, and the change information notification unit 13 sends the change information to the user B as shown in FIG. From the notification means 5, the change of the boarding car number to the boarding car 1B is displayed or notified by voice or a combination thereof.

  On the other hand, if the arrival of the user B is not detected in step S9, the process proceeds to steps S11 and S12 to perform the change route deletion process. In step S11, it is determined whether or not the assigned boarding car 1B has departed. When the boarding machine 1B has not yet departed, it returns to step S9 and waits for the arrival of the user B. That is, the operation information review unit 17 continues monitoring until the boarding machine whose assignment has been changed in step S11 leaves the landing floor. If it is determined that the boarding car 1B assigned in step S11 has already departed, the process proceeds to step S12.

  In step S12, when the changed boarding machine 1B has already started when the user B arrives at the landing, or the changed boarding machine 1B has already started without the user B arriving at the landing. In this case, the information on the stop floor (second floor) that is to be stopped for the user B is deleted from the changed boarding machine control means 2B.

  Thus, when the user A going to the third floor is already detected by the boarding machine 1A, and then the user B going to the second floor is detected by the boarding machine 1A, the boarding rate of the boarding machine 1A at this time If the user A exceeds the predetermined set value and the congestion is predicted, the user A uses the boarding car 1A as it is, but the user B who goes to the second floor is changed to the boarding machine 1B, for example. It becomes dispatch. And boarding machine 1B performs the service which changes a service route and stops to the 2nd floor with respect to user B. Of course, if there is a boarding machine that stops on the second floor, it is possible to execute a service that stops the user B on the second floor without changing the operation route.

  According to the above-described processing, the user B normally moves to the second floor using the boarding machine 1A by the individual boarding machine fixing method, but the rounding time determination function of the operation information review unit 17 makes a round. For example, when the boarding machine 1B is selected as a boarding machine whose time increase is smaller, the boarding machine 1B shown in FIG. 3 stops on the second floor, and the user B gets off on the second floor.

  Therefore, even if the boarding machine 1A is in a congested state, the users who use the boarding machine 1A do not wait for a long time, and the user B who changes to the boarding machine 1B does not wait for a long time. The operation efficiency of the entire building can be improved.

  Here, the increase in one lap time is predicted based on the order of arrival of users at the boarding gates of each boarding car from the arriving user to the back of the car, and is based on the exit floor relative to the boarding position in the car. In addition, it is possible to calculate more accurately by calculating the getting-off time and the re-boarding time.

  Furthermore, the congestion request determination function of the change request creation unit 16 performs congestion prediction determination, and when congestion is predicted, the user B's assigned boarding so that the passenger waiting in the boarding machine does not wait long Units can be changed. As a result, it is possible to avoid a situation in which passengers with a capacity of more than the capacity cannot get on due to concentration on one boarding car, and long waiting can be suppressed.

  In addition, since the crowded boarding machine 1A changes the boarding of the user B, only the service to the planned destination floor other than the user B is provided, so that it is possible to prevent the round trip time from becoming long. Here, the prediction of the congestion situation can be calculated more accurately by using the occupancy rate of each individual in association with each individual data.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the platform 5 is provided with notification means 5 for notifying the user B of the contents of the change, so that the vehicle number change information is detected at the timing when the user B is detected by the landing arrival detection means 4. Can be provided, and information can be reliably notified without causing confusion even if it differs from normal operation.

  If the notification by the notification means 5 is limited to the change of the car number, smoother operation is possible without causing confusion. Here, it is possible to make the notification means 5 unnecessary by notifying the mobile terminal owned by each individual of the change contents, and by using the notification means 5 together with the notification means 5, the notification means 5 It can be used as an auxiliary means when it is difficult to confirm the contents of change.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that step 8 shown in FIG. 5 is changed. Since the other control steps are the same, description thereof is omitted. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a boarding machine change process of the group management elevator apparatus according to the second embodiment.

  In the previous embodiment, each round time of the boarding car temporarily changed in step S8 was calculated, and the change to the boarding machine with a smaller increase in rounding time was determined from them.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in step S13 replaced with step S8, the operation predicted route of each temporarily changed boarding number is created and the round trip time is calculated, and all the boarding numbers are calculated from them. The boarding machine whose rounding time is most averaged is determined as the changed boarding machine.

  According to such a boarding machine change process, since the waiting time of each boarding machine can be averaged, the operation service can be further improved as a whole.

  Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. This embodiment is also different from the first embodiment in that step 8 shown in FIG. 5 is changed. Since the other control steps are the same, description thereof is omitted. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a boarding machine change process of the group management elevator apparatus according to the third embodiment.

  In the previous embodiment, each round time of the boarding car temporarily changed in step S8 was calculated, and the change to the boarding machine with a smaller increase in rounding time was determined from them.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, in step S14 replaced with step S8, an operation predicted route for each temporarily changed boarding number is created, and the average interval between arrivals at the lobby floor from the operation predicted route information is averaged. The boarding machine to be changed is determined as the changed boarding machine.

  According to such a change process of the car number, since the averaging is performed on the lobby floor serving as the reference floor, the waiting time on the reference floor where congestion is expected is averaged, and the operation service as a whole is further improved. Can do.

  Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. This embodiment is also different from the first embodiment in that step 8 shown in FIG. 5 is changed. Since the other control steps are the same, description thereof is omitted. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a boarding machine change process of the group management elevator apparatus according to the fourth embodiment.

  In the previous embodiment, the round trip time of the boarding machine temporarily changed in step S5 was calculated, and the change was decided to the boarding car in which the increase in round trip time was smaller from among them, but in this embodiment, step S8 is changed. Steps S15 to S18 are replaced.

  In step S15, the second waiting time determination function of the operation information review unit 17 calculates the waiting time of the second lap user for each boarding car whose assignment has been temporarily changed from the scheduled operation route information. In step S16, the second lap waiting time determination function determines whether there is a boarding machine that does not wait for the user on the second lap using the calculated waiting time. As a result of this determination, if there is a boarding machine that does not wait for a long time, the second round waiting time judgment function is a boarding machine for which the user of the second round does not have long waiting among the boarding machines whose assignment has been temporarily changed in step S17. To change the assignment to the boarding machine with the shortest waiting time for user B.

  On the other hand, as a result of the determination in step S16, if there is no boarding machine that does not wait long, the second-lap waiting time determination function has the longest waiting time for user B among the boarding machines whose assignment has been temporarily changed in step S18. Change the assignment to a shorter ride number.

  According to such a boarding machine change process, since the assignment change is performed while suppressing the long wait of the user on the second lap, the influence of the long wait due to the assignment change is minimized, and the operation service is provided as a whole. It can be improved further.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the destination floor is obtained from the personal identification information of the user, and the boarding machine assigned to the user is congested and the boarding machine assigned to the user is congested. When it is determined that the boarding machine will be requested to change to the user's destination and it is not confirmed that the boarding machine that is expected to be congested will stop at the user's destination floor, or even if it is confirmed, it will be predicted to be full. In this case, it is possible to determine the changed ride number from other ride numbers other than this ride number.

  According to this, while improving the operation efficiency of the entire building, changing the assigned boarding number of users so that long waiting due to uneven use does not occur, more passengers than the capacity are concentrated on one unit It is possible to avoid the situation where the passenger cannot get in and to suppress the long wait.

  Further, in the present embodiment, for example, as described in step S10, in order to match the time timing when the user B arrives at the landing, the building arrival detection means 3A to 5N to the landing arrival detection means 4, or It is also possible to store in advance the estimated time to the entrance and exit, and to make a change reflecting these time elements.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and includes various modifications. For example, the above-described embodiments have been described in detail for easy understanding of the present invention, and are not necessarily limited to those having all the configurations described. Further, one means of the configuration of one embodiment can be replaced with the configuration of another embodiment, and the configuration of another embodiment can be added to the configuration of one embodiment. Further, it is possible to add, delete, and replace other configurations for one means of the configuration of each embodiment.
