Abstract
A transportation system including a group of elevator cars under the control of a group supervisory dispatcher function, and people mover apparatus arranged to serve the group of elevator cars. The group supervisory dispatcher function includes call assigning control which has different selectable strategies for serving different types of elevator service requirements, including at least one travel direction oriented strategy for expediting elevator service in a predetermined travel direction. The people mover apparatus provides signals responsive to loading and travel direction for use by the dispatcher function, enabling proper strategies to be selected without waiting for actual elevator traffic to trigger such selections.
