Abstract:
An elevator group supervisory control system for controlling a plurality of elevators as a group, said system comprising:a traffic condition detecting section for detecting a current traffic condition of the plurality of elevator cars;a rule base for storing a plurality of control rule sets required for group supervisory control of the plurality of elevator cars;a real time simulating section for simulating operation of each elevator car in real time by assigning a scanning movement in a single direction to each elevator car, until the direction of movement of the elevator car is reversed, while applying a specified rule set for the rule base to the current traffic condition, and for predicting group supervisory control performance obtained upon application of the specified rule set;a rule set selecting section for selecting an optimal rule set in response to the predicting by said real time simulating section; andan operation control section for controlling operation of each elevator car based on the rule set selected by said rule set selecting section.
