Timing Considerations and Kinematics Parameters of Elevator Group Control Systems

Abstract

In this paper we concentrate on some important timing characteristics of Elevator Group Control (EGC) systems. The main discussion and calculations should be considered as a further development of Three Passages (TP) concept, already presented in our previous papers. To achieve better global performance of EGC system, especially to reduce hall call waiting time, calculation methodology of car kinematics is presented. The importance of detailed kinematics considerations is demonstrated with data taken from real high-speed EGC system, existent in 63-floor building - Seoul, Korea.
