Abstract:
1. An elevator group supervision controlling apparatus that supervises a plurality of elevator apparatuses as a group based on respective information from: a landing call registering apparatus that is disposed on a landing; and a remote call registering apparatus that is disposed at a position that is distant from the landing, the elevator group supervision controlling apparatus being comprising: a response time predicting means that predicts respective response times for cars of each of the elevator apparatuses to a car call that the remote call registering apparatus generates on receiving a predetermined input operation; a passenger movement estimating means that estimates passenger moving time for a passenger to reach the landing from the remote call registering apparatus based on a positional relationship between the remote call registering apparatus and the landing; a standby time predicting means that predicts respective standby times at the landing for each of the cars based on the response times and the passenger moving time; a candidate car selecting means that includes a car for which the standby time is shorter than a predetermined time interval in candidate cars, and excludes a car for which the standby time is greater than or equal to the predetermined time interval from the candidate cars; an allocating means that decides a car from among the candidate cars as an allocated car that responds to the car call if at least one of the cars has been included in the candidate cars; and an instructing means that generates an informing instruction that communicates to the remote call registering apparatus reinput requesting information that recommends an input operation at the landing call registering apparatus if all of the cars have been excluded from the candidate cars.
