Abstract:

An elevator management and control device for selecting an elevator car when a landing call registration device is away from a landing, where the selection is made by taking user’s walk time and the number of floors the elevator serves into account. The elevator management and control device has a walk time estimation means (9) for estimating the time required for a passenger to reach a landing, a prediction and calculation means (10) for predicting and calculating a time in which each elevator car (2) can reach the landing, a waiting time conversion means (11) for converting the difference between the predicted time before arrival of the car (2) that is predicted and calculated by the prediction and calculation means (10) and the estimated walk time into real waiting time or loss time, an evaluation value calculation means (12) for calculating an evaluation value increasing with an increase in real waiting time or loss time, an allocation means (13) for determining a car, as an allocated car, whose evaluation value calculated by the evaluation value calculation means (12) is minimum, an operation control means (15) for instructing the allocated car to move to the floor for which the call is registered, and a door opening/closing means (14) not opening a door (2) of the allocated car until the estimated walk time has passed after the door is opened.
