Abstract
An elevator installation control method with zoning provides changes between zones at an interchange floor. Transportation to or from the interchange floor is by at least one feeder-elevator group and at least one connecting-elevator group. The feeder-elevator group has several feeder elevators that travel in a first zone below the interchange floor and the connecting-elevator group has several connecting elevators that travel in a second zone above it. Trip destinations are entered via destination-call input and the feeder-elevator group and the connecting-elevator group are combined into a multigroup that is controlled by a multigroup control. To optimize the elevator installation operation and utilization, the multigroup control allocates a feeder elevator depending on the number of trip destinations in the first zone to be traveled to by this feeder elevator and/or on the number of trip destinations in the second zone.
