“…Dedicated external hardware development has enabled the function of the destination floor being pre-input. For instance, elevator systems where the destination floor could be pre-input by deploying the equipment of an additional button panel outside the elevator have been proposed by [19], [22], [23]. Kwon et al [10] utilized three types of sensors: RFID, camera and floor sensors to detect passengers at the specific places.…”

Elevator functioning as a vertical transport facility remains stand-alone and incapable of accessing the fine-grained traffic information. It significantly restricts the flexibility and efficiency of vertical transporting. In particular, while in peak-time, the limited elevator physical capacity with the momentary traffic increment gives rise to the vertical traffic bottleneck problem in large-scale buildings. The problem further results in the long waiting, dissatisfaction, frustration of passengers. In this paper, we present our proposal named Intellevator: an intelligent elevator system that enables the passively functioning elevator system be proactive and intelligent in traffic control for optimizing the transport efficiency. The proposal is an end-to-end architecture that composed of three aspects: Internet of things (IoT)-enabling technology on a conventional elevator; an agent server to enhance elevator computational capability and a novel user interface for delivering system intelligence to end-users. The proposal was experimented on a conventional elevator in a built smart-building environment. Numerical simulation results have demonstrated the system efficiency improvement. In addition, the system usability and user experience have been evaluated by a user study as well.

Abstract-In a large-scale high-rise building, elevator systems with multiple elevator cars supports mobility of users. Since current elevator controller systems only achieve user's requirements as the existence of requests of mobility directions in each floor, it is difficult for multiple elevator cars to stop at the same floor simultaneously even if there exist unevenly distributed requests in some specific floors. This results in low service ratio causing numbers of bumped passengers and in longer waiting time duration of the users. This paper proposes a novel method for registrations of user's requests through a smartphone application. Due to achievement of mobility request of each user through his/her personal device, the elevator controller system acquires numbers and distribution of individual mobility requests and detailed control of elevator cars including simultaneous stops of multiple elevator cars at the same floor is realized. Simulation experiments show the proposed method provides higher service ratio and shorter waiting time of users than the conventional methods.
