Exploring Heuristic and Optimization Approaches for Elevator Group Control Systems
Atef Gharbi
Abstract:This paper undertakes an examination of elevator car dispatching methods in response to hall calls. Firstly, our study focuses on the establishment of a representation of an elevator group control system as a finite-state machine to understand the dynamics of elevator group control. Secondly, two primary heuristics are explored, with the first advocating directional continuity unless the highest or lowest floor has been reached, while the second permits direction change upon completing the final call, regardle… Show more
