Abstract

A method, system, and computer program product for occupant-based elevator actions are provided. The method identifies a set of subjects approaching a set of elevators to generate a set of identities for the set of subjects. A set of initial priority statuses are generated for the set of subjects. Based on the set of identities and the set of initial priority statuses, an elevator dispatch solution is determined. The method updates at least a portion of the initial priority statuses to generate a set of subsequent priority statuses in response to a subset of subjects entering at least one elevator. The method determines an isolation response for a first subject of the subset of subjects and modifies the elevator dispatch solution based on the isolation response to generate an isolation dispatch solution. The at least one elevator executes the isolation dispatch solution.
