Abstract
A supervisory apparatus for elevators wherein cages are respectively caused to disperse and wait at predetermined floors during an inactive elevator operation during which a demand for the cages has decreased; the demand magnitudes of the cages in each of a predetermined number of time zones into which one day is divided, future demand magnitudes are estimated for each time zone on the basis of the measured values, and a suitable number of floors are allotted to each cage on the basis of the estimated demand magnitudes so that the respective cages may take charges of equal demand magnitudes during the inactive elevator operation. Further, the waiting floor of each cage is determined at that floor of the allotted floors at which an expected value of a period of time required for responding to a next occurring hall call becomes the smallest.
