Deeming a full elevator car available for servicing a hall call is accomplished by testing if all of the car calls for the car are between the position of the elevator car and the hall call. If not, the full car may still be deemed available if there is a special stop car call between the position of the car and the position of the hall call or if there is at least one car call between the position of the car and the position of the hall call and there are no other hall calls between the position of the car and the position of the hall call.

Assigning a hall call to a full elevator car

Assignment of a hall call to an elevator car occurs only if servicing the hall call will not have an adverse effect on the response times of other registered calls for the car. Assignment of a hall call is made to the car having the lowest number of registered calls which cross a predetermined response time threshold in response to servicing the call.
