Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0452225A2] An elevator dispatching system is provided so that floors of a building are assigned to non-overlapping, equal traffic volume sectors that are dynamic in that both the number of floors in the sectors and the number of sectors is variable, depending upon traffic predictions for an up-peak period in the building. The floors within a sector are contiguous and the sectors within the building are contiguous. After the sectors are created an elevator car is assigned to each sector to be dispatched in association therewith. A floor service indicator means displays which elevator cars have been assigned to which sectors. Where the sum of the populations of adjacent sectors falls below 100% of car capacity, said sectors are combined. When the sum of the populations of adjacent sectors does not exceed a given limit, the adjacent sectors are combined and the elevator cars are dispatched according to the new sector assignments. <IMAGE>
