  • the elevator system of the present invention is advantageous since a target floor can be selected on an up/down button panel installed at an elevator entrance as well as on an in-car button panel.
  • the elevator system of the present invention enables predicting change of loads to be onboard on the basis of signals input through in-car button panels installed in elevator cars and up/down button panels installed at elevator entrances, whereby it is possible to optimally schedule stops of the elevator cars.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système d'ascenseurs perfectionné et un procédé de commande de celui-ci pour programmer de manière efficace des cabines d'ascenseur et réduire des espaces de cage. Le système d'ascenseurs de la présente invention comprend au moins une cage et au moins deux cabines d'ascenseur fonctionnant indépendamment dans la cage. Le système d'ascenseurs programme de multiples cabines d'ascenseur pour de multiples appels sur la base d'informations obtenues par l'analyse de divers signaux provenant des panneaux de boutons installés au niveau des cabines d'ascenseur et des entrées d'ascenseur d'un immeuble, améliorant ainsi l'efficacité de fonctionnement du système d'ascenseurs.
