Abstract
An administrative controlling apparatus for elevators, for calling an elevator before a passenger's operation of a hall call button when a passenger who has come to an elevator hall is detected by passenger detection devices. The direction in which the passenger would like to go is predicted based upon the hall call and past passengers. Accordingly, the past usage is regarded as a basis for a statistical learning process. On this basis, the selection of a stand-by elevator or the selection of a tentative allocation elevator is effected. Also, a call is interrupted in accordance with the absence or presence of an elevator call.
