System for measuring interfloor traffic for group control of elevator cars

摘要

An elevator passenger traffic measuring system distributes passengers whose destination floors cannot be determined to each of origin- destination floor pairs in accordance with an elevator car position, an incoming passenger number and an outgoing passenger number at each floor, and registered car calls, using probability weights for the origin- destination floor pairs which are determined by previous traffic measurements. The system then estimates the number of passengers for each of the origin-destination floor pairs in accordance with the distributed passengers, and the passengers who moved the corresponding one of the origin-destination floor pairs.
