Abstract
A system for selecting an elevator in a group consisting of elevators serving the floors of a building, each floor being provided with call input devices for the input of the passengers' calls, the elevator group having a group control unit controlling the group and provided with at least one computer. On the basis of the call sent by a call input device, the group control unit finds out which call input device has issued the call and selects one of the elevators for serving the floor in question on the basis of the passengers' location on the landing according to the information thus obtained.
