Definitions
- the present invention relates to control of an eleva- tor group .
- An elevator system can be controlled by two different principal methods, of which the more traditional and more widely used method is up-down call buttons at the elevator landing floors and a car call panel inside the elevator car.
- This traditional call system requires that the elevator passenger give two successive calls: a landing call (ordering an elevator to the particular departure floor) and a car call (indicating the target floor to the elevator system) .
- the elevator to serve the call can be announced either immediately after the elevator control system has allocated the call (decided which elevator is to serve the call), or e.g. only after an arriving elevator starts braking to stop at the departure floor of the person having issued the call .
- the other call system is so-called destination con- trol, in which the elevator customer gives only one call.
- the call is given like a car call at the elevator landing floor by inputting destination floor information via a floor button panel or e.g. using a numeric keypad.
- the al- location of elevators can be accomplished in a more sensible way because the system learns the information relating to each passenger (departure floor and destination floor) at an earlier stage and the passengers' destination floors can already be taken into account when a suitable elevator is being allocated. In the case of large elevator systems and large numbers of passengers, it is thus possible e.g. to assign the same elevator to customers traveling to the same floor.
- the cost function may comprise summed passenger waiting times, traveling times, electric energy consumption of the system, num- bers of times the elevator car has stopped at different floors, or the aforesaid or other desired quantities may be weighted with desired weighting coefficients .
- the most optimal ele-vator is found e.g. by the ESP method (Enhanced Spacing Principle) .
- ESP Enhanced Spacing Principle
- the issued calls are observed and the passenger waiting times are optimized.
- the number of passengers associated with each landing call and waiting on the floor in question is estimated as far as possible on the basis of statistical data.
- Those landing calls that the system assumes to be associated with the largest number of elevator customer's are served fastest .
- Another method for allocating elevators on the basis of calls is to use genetic algorithms, especially in large elevator systems. Genetic algorithms are described e.g. in patent specification FI112856B. Ge- netic algorithms do not guarantee that the absolutely most optimal value is found, but the results obtained in practical applications are quite close to it.
- the routes of the elevators in the system can be encoded in different chromosomes, in which one gene defines an elevator customer and the elevator to serve him/her.
- the system starts the process e.g. from a randomly selected route alternative and applies to it various genetic procedures, such as proliferation, crossbreeding and mutation.
- One genera- tion at a time a number of new chromosomes are generated via these genetic procedures and at the same time the chromosomes thus obtained are examined to determine whether they are viable for further processing. Viability may mean e.g. that the waiting time falls below a given value.
- Crossbreeding means that two route alternatives are combined at random to create one new route alternative.
- the values of the genes of the chromosome are changed arbitrarily.
- the chromosome results given by the algorithm converge at some stage, and from the last processed set of chromosomes the one having the best viability is selected.
- the passengers are allocated to elevators according to the genes of the best chromosome.
- R E is the number of intermediate floor calls issued between the floor of current location of the elevator and the floor where the customer is to be picked up
- R c is the numbeir of car calls given between the floor of current location of the elevator and the floor where the customer is to be picked up
- ki is the num- ber of passengers entering the elevator for one landing call as estimated on the basis of the prevailing traffic situatzLon
- k 2 is the number of passengers leaving the elevator for one car call as estimated on the basis of tlie prevailing traffic situation
- m is the number of floor-to-floor intervals between the floor of current location of the elevator and the floor where the customer is to be picked up
- t m is average journey t ⁇ me for one floor-to-floor interval
- R E C is the number of coincident car calls and lainding calls between the floor of current location of the elevator and trie floor where the customer is to be picked up
- Z is a additional factor
- the cost function optimizes the waiting time, which is obtained as the sum of the waiting time spent in the lobby and the waste time spent in the elevator car due to stops.
- Coincident calls (which here means that an active landing call addressed to the elevator is simultaneously a destination floor given as an active car call) are taken into account in the method .
- Patent specification US4991694 deals with immediate allocation of destination calls.
- This specification defines the cost function K as follows:
- K rs is tb_e waiting time of new passengers at the call input floor
- K rz is the traveling time of new passengers
- K ps is the length of the waste time spent by car passengers due to an intermediate stop caused by a landing call
- - pz is the length of the waste time spent by car passengers due to an intermediate stop caused by a car call
- K ws is the waiting time of all passengers entering the elevator between the call input floor and the destination floor
- K W2 is the waiting" time of all passengers entering the elevator after ar- rival at a floor requested by an active destination floor call.
- the costs are optimized on the basis of passenger waiting times.
- waiting time is accumulated from waiting in the elevator lobby and from intermediate stops due to landing calls and car calls.
- prior-art elevator control algorithms optimize passenger waiting times in the elevator lobby and car and do not take the actual traveling time in the elevator car accurately into ac- count. Precisely speaking, prior-art methods do not optimize passengers' traveling time, because they do not take the time losses resulting from the car calls given by new passengers entering the car at intermediate stops accurately into account.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome some of the above- mentioned problems in elevator control.
- the aim is to create a control method in which both the waiting time and the traveling time of passen- gers are optimized.
- the present invention deals with a method for allocating elevators on the basis of call data, and the method is especially intended for use in a destination call system, wherein both the source floor and the destination floor of the customer are already known after the customer has given a call in an elevator lobby.
- Source floor refers to the floor where the customer gives a landing call or destination call and where the customer en- ters the elevator. The source floor is thus the same as the customer's departure floor. Based on active calls and the location and operational condition of the elevators at the instant under consideration, all possible elevator route alternatives are calculated.
- a cost function is calculated wherein passenger-specific average total traveling time, i.e. the time from the instant the person gives a destination floor call to the instant he/she leaves the elevator at the destination call floor, is minimized.
- the procedure takes into account the waiting time spent at the elevator landing floor, besides the traveling time spent in the elevator car as well as the delays caused by intermediate stops that, as far as known, are to be made during the journey. Intermediate stops may be due to active destination floor calls or source floor calls given by new passengers along the route of the elevator. Further delays arise in consequence of destination floor calls given by new customers boarding at intermediate stops.
- OOP panel Device for inputting a destination floor call
- the method of the present invention can be combined with the use genetic algorithms to determine the most advantageous route alternative.
- the route alternatives processed by the algorithm can also be created in other ways. If only traditional landing call buttons and a car call panel are in use, it is necessary to weight the traveling time associated with a given landing call by the relevant predicted number of passengers . Further, measured traffic statistics can be utilized to estimate passengers' destination floors at a given instant of time from a given source floor. Ttie results of the forecast can be further utilized when the algorithm of the present invention is used.
- a feature characteristic of the method of the present invention is that it employs passenger-specific calculation instead of call-specific calculation.
- the capacity of the elevator system can be better utilized as compared to the control algorithms used in the traditional up-down call system.
- Another significant advantage of the present invention is that the same control system can be used to control both systems using destination calls and systems using traditional up-down calls.
- the traveling times are optimized and the serving elevator is immediately signaled to the customer.
- the number of intermediate stops can be effectively reduced and the elevator capacity can be more efficiently utilized.
- Immediate signaling can also be used in a system comprising up- down call buttons. The signaling can be given automatically or it can be set manually to a suitable value with respect to usability.
- the control system also permits the destination operating mode to be set into an active state e.g. only during peak traffic hours while at other times traditional call buttons are in operation.
- the desti- nation operating mode may be continuously in use.
- Fig. 1 presents the components of a cost function generated in elevator control according to the present invention.
- Fig. 2 presents the components of an elevator system associated with the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
- the present invention is applied in -so-called destination call control, wherein the elevator system control receives the information regarding the customer's source and target floors at an early stage.
- the present invention is also applicable for use i n a traditional elevator system provided with up-down call buttons.
- Fig. 1 presents in a simple form the time terms needed in the generation of the cost function .
- the object of optimization 11 is the passenger's average traveling time.
- the traveling time contains the passenger's wait- ing time on his/her source floor 10, which means the time interval from the input of a landing call to the arrival of the elevator car. Further, the traveling time contains the ride time in the elevator car 12.
- the car calls 14 given by new passengers boarding the elevator car have to be taken into account in the traveling time (provided that the system already knows of these calls as destination calls), because they have a similar effect of increasing the traveling time of the passengers already in the car.
- a cost function 11 is created which, based on the above considerations, can be expressed in a simple form e.g. as
- J av is the passenger's average traveling time when a new passen- ger uses the optimal elevator.
- JT f _ ent er,ii ft is the sum of passenger waiting times associated with a given destination floor or, in the case of a desti- nation call, the traveling time of the person having input the call .
- JTj nC ⁇ ij ft is the length of the waste time that, for different reasons, is summed in the traveling time of the passengers riding in the car.
- optimization 11 can be performed immediately and the most advantageous elevator obtained as a final result 15 of the optimization can be notified to the elevator customer. If the elevator is originally located at floor 'liftpos' (which is different from the elevator customer's source floor), the journey time for a passenger starting a ride on the elevator in question from floor 'f_enter' and giving floor 'f exit' as the destination floor will be obtained as follows:
- ETAiift P os,f_enter,iift is the waiting time of the new passenger or passengers at the entry floor and ETAf_ en ter,f_e ⁇ iUift ' s the ride time- from the entry floor to the destination floor.
- T x i >X2 d riv e is the elevator journey time at a constant travel speed from floor x to floor x 2 .
- the sum term represents the extra time resulting from stops due to landing and car calls, which is spent during the trip before floor x 2 is reached.
- Njjn ift and Nj ⁇ 0U .,iift are the numbers of passengers entering and leaving the elevator, respectively.
- T paS s is the average time required for a passenger to step into or out of the elevator.
- T d oor.nft is the additional time consumed by the door opening and closing operations
- T ac c,dec represents the delay resulting from the acceleration and braking of the elevator as compared to travel at an even travel speed.
- the traveling time of the elevator customers already riding in the elevator car is increased by new elevator customers giving new landing calls (destination calls) on their entry floor and by the stops required to drop these new customers off at their destination floors when the destination floor is between x-i ... x 2 .
- the magnitude of this additional delay caused by new passengers to those already riding on the elevator is
- the average traveling time can be determined from the statistics when the time of the day and the source floor are known. In this way, the calculation can be executed efficiently immediately upon input of a landing call in a traditional system provided with up- down call buttons and it is not strictly necessary to await a destination call given by the customer in the elevator car.
- the summed total journey time for passengers arriving to the elevator upon a single landing call is:
- nc i f t contains the additional time consumption caused by new passengers in the traveling time of the passengers al- ready in the car:
- the cost function minimizes the average passenger-specific traveling time, which 5 comprises the time spent while waiting for an elevator, the actual ride time and additionally the delays caused by passengers subsequently entering the elevator.
- each passenger is directed to his/her right elevator according to the elevator allocation consistent with the shortest traveling time.
- the elevator system control0 naturally performs calculations continuously so that new calls entered and the continually changing positions of the elevators in the system are properly taken into account in the control of the elevators. Since the total traveling time is the object of optimization in the case of intensive traffic, the elevator capacity can be effectively reused after the customer's eleva-5 tor trip.
- the algorithm minimizes passenger-specific average waiting time.
- the elevator arrives quickly to the call input floor, but the elevator is allowed to make even several interme- o diate stops if necessary.
- the car loads are balanced by the algorithm so that the given car load limits are not exceeded.
- the control method allows the cars to be filled to the upper limit of the number of persons if people enter the elevator from5 the same source floor. In practice, this limit is only reached when a special peak traffic condition prevails in the system. Peak traffic again can be identified e.g. from measured statistical traffic data or from traffic forecasts made.
- Fig. 2 presents an example of an actual elevator system employing the above-described method, showing the essential parts of the system.
- the building is provided with an elevator system comprising elevators 20.
- the call input equipment 21 includes both traditional up-down call buttons and a car call panel placed in the car. Furthermore, the call input equipment 5 21 contains the buttons required in a destination call system on each floor.
- the intelligence of the system is located in a control system 22 comprising a microprocessor (not shown in the figures) as an essential part of it.
- the microprocessor contains a memory, in which a computer program capable of executing the method of the present invention (or a part of it) is stored. The memory may also be implemented as an external part connected to the computer.
- the microprocessor runs the program code comprised in the computer program, thus executing the various stages of the method of the present invention (or part of them).
- the traveling time is calculated by a time counter 23.
- the control system 22 performs the required optimization operations by using the input data and method of the present invention.
- Previously measured traffic statistics 24 can be utilized when an optimization algorithm is used.
- the traffic statistics 24 may be stored in a separate memory block.
- the control system 22 calculates the optimal elevator route alternative that minimizes the average traveling time.
