Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0846642A1] The optimisation system allocates each cabin in the group for the service of a predefined need has the group serving a predetermined number of storeys. The system has an allocation store (11) of cabins (4) which can be allocated to serve the predefined need, whereby the store determines a number of cabins. An allocator (20) initialises a response region for the group, whereby the response region comprises a predetermined number of neighbouring storeys. A sampler (10) queues floor calls and determines the specific storeys which demand lift service and that the allocator is authorised to group the specific storeys demanding service into a series from the highest to the lowest. It forms non-overlapping groups with a size smaller than the response region.
