A control system for a group of elevators capable of forming a controlled group of elevators by connecting platform call input/output units and operation control units for each floor to each other via a transmission line system. Platform call input/output units and operation control units are connected to each other via transmission lines of every elevator. All of the operation control units and a group control unit are connected to each other via a transmission line, so that the platform call input/output units are disconnected from the group control unit.

Group controlled elevator control system for controlling a plurality of elevators

In a vertically movable elevator group management control apparatus for control of a plurality of transversely shiftable cars among plural shafts, control is done by storing route data with respect to each said car, generating target floor data including a target floor, based on car call data obtained in correspondence with each said car and station call data as obtained correspondingly to each floor, estimating the time taken for said car to reach said target floor, based on at least said route data, said target floor data and said car call data, and assigning a certain car to a certain floor call, based on the estimated arrival time.

Elevator group management control apparatus and elevator group

An elevator control system which provide a high transportation efficiency and also provides for equalization of service quality between floors when a large number of passengers located at different floors desire transportation to a common particular floor. Passengers waiting at a lower level floor will first be picked up prior to the elevator moving to the upper level floors so that the passengers at the lower levels will also be able to get on the elevator when there is a large number of passengers who wish to go to a particular floor during a particular time of the day.
