Title:
ELEVATOR SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/171296
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This elevator system comprises a group management control system that manages the operation of a plurality of elevator cars, and is provided with: a destination floor user number totaling processing unit that totals the number of passengers boarding from each floor from the number of times that a destination floor call is registered and totals the number of passengers disembarking at each floor from the passenger number for each destination floor call; and a processing unit for predicting the number of people within an elevator car that calculates the number of passengers in an elevator car as a prediction value from the determined number of passengers boarding from each floor, the number of passengers disembarking at each floor, and the number of people who are currently in the elevator car. The name of an elevator car and/or the floor(s) at which said elevator car will stop are announced for an elevator car that it is determined to be an elevator car that will not reach full capacity on the basis of the prediction value. As a result, elevator transport capacity is improved during periods of congestion even when the boarding area is in a saturated state due to the number of people who are present in said boarding area.
