Summary of the Invention
Problems that the Invention is to Solve
[0006]
　However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, by considering only waiting passengers number who are landing, already because the situation of the car waiting in door open is not taken into consideration, the following door-open waiting car, door closing not know in may be opened at any time the waiting car is, after all, until the door-open waiting car has passed one of the predetermined period of time becomes a predetermined load, there is a problem that can not be door-open the next door 閉待 machine basket . As a result, even if there are many waiting passengers number of people at the time of congestion, because you can not door-opening the door 閉待 machine basket until the conditions are met, and can not be easily door open, waiting time of up to get into the car becomes longer. In addition, at the time of congestion, only the door open the car waiting passengers number is large, the insufficient number is, there is a possibility that ride overflow occurs, there is a concern that not increase the transport number of people.
[0007]
　Also the technology described in Patent Document 2, on the basis of only the demand level at a certain time, a plurality idea to assign a car accordingly, over time, already when the car is dispatched, at that time the only demand level not know whether the number of car is appropriate, it is necessary to think of a car that has already been dispatched situation. A lift demand short time levels of minutes, is changing with time, further consideration of the boarding status of elevator car, if not performed control according to more situations, to dispatch the proper number is difficult.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0011]
　The elevator group management system according to the first embodiment will be described.
Example 1
[0012]
　Elevator system as longitudinal moving means in the building, are smooth and safe transport daily number of users. Especially in large buildings, since the number of users is large, is installed a plurality of elevators, these plurality of elevator group management system is supervising as a group.
[0013]
　One of the most important performance indicators of the elevator system, a transport force representing the transport number per a predetermined time (transport persons / its calculated by duration), available congestion such as during office buildings attendance or lunch sometimes, one of the ways how to improve the transport capacity is important. To increase the transport capacity, it is a point to be transported in a shorter period of time more and more of the people, that as a solution, the effective of the elevator car waiting in the elevator hall floors that are crowded, such as the lobby floor to focusing on leverage.
[0014]
　Here, first the control of the waiting elevator car in a typical elevator group management system will be described. If the elevator car in the standby state to the elevator hall of a floor is more than one, as a rule, only one by the door-open (that open the car and landing doors), the rest of the car to wait while the door closing operation has been carried out. This is because, when to wait for more than one at the door open on the same floor, which a user riding in the car earlier to starting the car by pushing the door closing button in the car, one after another starting with the ride Kagogasukuna number of people It will be, because the operation efficiency is lowered, and so to avoid this.
[0015]
　For this reason, at the time of congestion, even if the user to the elevator landing have a large number, as a general rule to door-open waiting only one, First are operating as get to ride in the basket of the door-open waiting one that. Here, when the congestion is, basically many of the elevator car is traveling put the user, at least in cases where the waiting elevator occurs more than one, usually, there is no problem in such operations.
[0016]
　However, if the elevator number that is the group management is often (e.g., more than eight), possible if more short one cycle time, etc. is small service floor number floor, the plurality of waiting elevator landing even when congestion occurs sex is out. More particularly a large number, such case is considered to increase.
[0017]
　In the example of the present embodiment, as in the time of the second half of going to work or during lunch, in a situation where one after another user has come to the elevator hall of the particular floor, and to especially target the elevator group management of multi-number, the landing of the floor If there are a plurality of waiting elevator, by effectively utilizing them, it is aimed at improving the transport capacity. The lobby floor, there is more than one of the waiting elevator to a given floor of the elevator landing, such as the dining room floor, in a situation where the user is coming to landing one after another at the time of congestion, thought to be the basis of effective use of the waiting elevator, equal to or less than the .
[0018]
　(1) the user of the number of people that are in the elevator landing, already detect the number of passengers in the elevator cab in the door-open waiting, these usage real-time to suit (number of guests) (in every moment continuously) in (selecting a plurality depending on the situation) elevator car stipulations to be door-open waiting controls.
[0019]
　(2) with respect to door-open waiting is more than one each elevator car was, boarded waste without smooth of each user's time, and as each car is not a departure with a small number of people, the user each car to induce to.
[0020]
　Particularly the idea of ​​the above (1) and is first important, the less the number for door open than Occupancy is unnecessarily result in the user waiting at the landing occurs, The more conversely, Basket ride small whether to start, it will be to wait a long time the car, even if any, will reduce the transport capacity.
[0021]
　An example of an embodiment based on the idea of ​​door-open waiting car utilizing the above (1) (2), will be described FIG. 1, in FIG.
[0022]
　First, FIG. 1 shows a functional block diagram of the overall system. Overall structure, the input information from the left of FIG. (Call landing, the number of building entrance within elevator landing, the car building, time), the elevator group management control unit 100, elevator Unit control unit 200 (plurality of each elevator Unit to this means facilities, this figure represents one representative in), but provided elevator unit 300 (which is also the means for each elevator unit there are a plurality of, in this figure represents one representative), door-open waiting consisting of information guide means 400 to the basket. Elevator group management control unit 100 is integrally controls each elevator Unit controller 200, the flow of controlling the elevator Unit control unit 200 each elevator Unit 300 accordingly.
[0023]
　Elevator group management control unit 100 is composed of a hall call assignment control unit 110, car dispatch control means to a predetermined floor 120, building the traffic condition detecting means 130, use state realtime corresponding door-open waiting control means 140. Hall call assignment control unit 110, allocates a elevator car to service to call landing, car dispatch control means 120 to a predetermined floor, (car service has been completed to the called) elevator car when congestion such as when attendance (if attendance at the lobby floor) crowded floor to the one that carried out the control to dispatch to. Each assignment of multiple cages, and that there is a dispatch control of multiple cars. The traffic condition detecting means 130 Building, during attendance from the time and count information, intended to detect the traffic conditions such as lunch time, car dispatch control is executed based on the detection information.
[0024]
　Use state real-time-capable of door-open waiting control means 140 becomes the main control in this embodiment. Here, allocation hall call, the dispatch control, in a situation where a plurality of the car to a particular floor is stopped (waiting), the number of landing of the user, in response to real-time to the number of the elevator car door open in to control the elevator car to wait. Here be door-open waiting a car of the number corresponding to the number of people the situation of the user is a feature. Input information control, building entrance, the building, the elevator hall, the number information in the car, for each car obtained from elevator Unit controller 200 state information (door open or closed, stop, etc.) becomes. Door-open waiting information guide means for the cage 400, the information about the car in the door-open waiting to provide information to the user of the elevator landing, to induce in Norikomeru so the car in the door open smoothly.
[0025]
　As described above, use state realtime corresponding door-open waiting control means 140, the hall call allocation and car dispatch control during congestion, when the car of the plurality is stopped at a predetermined floor, the user of this effectively used depending on the situation with (by door open put the user in) becomes to increase the transportation efficiency. Hereinafter, details of the door-open waiting control means will be described with reference to FIG.
[0026]
　Figure 2 represents a functional block diagram of the overall system mainly the door-open waiting control. Of the total structure, elevators each unit of the control unit 200, elevator each car body 300, the information guidance unit 400 relates to door-open waiting car to provide an output information for the user from the group management is the same as FIG. 1, description thereof will be omitted. Other parts correspond to the corresponding door-open waiting control means in real time use the state of FIG. Below, describes this part.
[0027]
　Part constituting the door-open waiting control of Figure 2, real-time determination unit 141 of the door-open waiting embodiment, door-open waiting car selecting means 142, composed of three large door-open waiting car control means 143. Door-open waiting implementation of real-time decision means 141 the user number of elevator landing, than the input information such as the number of passengers of the car that has already been door-open waiting, there is a car waiting at the door closing on the floor of the target If determines whether to door open. As can respond in real time on the situation of use, where it is determined by calculating the necessary information internally is the point. Door-open waiting car selecting means 142, if it is determined that is the door-opening, to select the door-open waiting car from a car in the door 閉待 machine. Door-open waiting car control unit 143 outputs a command to cause the door-opening with respect to selected the car (in door 閉待 machine) to elevator Unit control unit 200 of the car. As a result, the car becomes a door-open waiting state to open the door, it is possible to use who are landing the board.
[0028]
　Among the above-described configuration of the door-open waiting car control, to become a principal is a real-time determination means 141 of the door-open waiting embodiment, it will be described below this detail. Real-time determination means door-open waiting embodiment 141 Occupancy calculation unit 1411 boarded for SundetoHiraki waiting car number calculation unit 1412 of the user who does not Norikome to SundetoHiraki waiting car, doors 閉待 machine car door open execution determination means composed of 1413.
[0029]
　First, Occupancy calculation unit 1411 boarded for SundetoHiraki waiting car already passengers of the car in the door-open waiting is detected by SundetoHiraki waiting car passengers detecting means 502, the SundetoHiraki standby cage already of the car in the door-open waiting number is detected by the volume detection means 201, using the boarding maximum number of people or is set in the car ride maximum number of people setting means 150, already boarded for the car in the door-open waiting (for multiple total number) occupancy is calculated with the following equation.
[0030]
[Number 1]

[0031]
　For each car in the formula (1) is the door-opening, the ride maximum number of the car, by subtracting the number of passengers in the car at that time, calculates therefrom boarding possible number to the basket, which and calculates the possible number of people aboard in the entire door-open waiting car by summing the. Here, passengers detecting means SundetoHiraki standby cage 502 load sensor in the car, the car in the image sensor (such as a camera). The volume detector 201 of SundetoHiraki waiting car, detects from the data of the elevator Unit control means 200 (rather than actually detected will be used as it is the data in the elevator Unit control means). The car ride maximum number of people setting means 150 sets a substantial maximum value of the number of people riding in the car. This value is 60% to 80% of the value of capacity rating boarding of the car is set to a value that matches the condition of the building (automatic setting by machine learning is carried out in such settings by the operator). The car ride maximum number setting means 150 is a function of elevator group management control unit 100 (FIG. 1).
[0032]
　Then, SundetoHiraki not Norikome to the waiting car the user of the number of people calculation means 1412, the number-of-potential-boarded to SundetoHiraki waiting basket, which is calculated by the number-of-potential calculation means 1411 boarded for SundetoHiraki waiting car, the elevator landing and by using the user number of elevator hall and its vicinity is detected at the user number detecting means 501 in the vicinity thereof, and calculates the previously number of users that do not Norikome the car in the door-open waiting. This is, in other words, a user overflowing ride from SundetoHiraki the waiting car, in yet another expression, is the same meaning as the number of users to be Tsuminokoshi in SundetoHiraki the waiting car. The calculation formula is as follows.
[0033]
　Norikome not the user of the number = landing and near the user's number - boarded Occupancy ... formula (2)
　where the user number detecting unit 501 of the elevator hall and its vicinity, elevator hall and in the vicinity of the target floor image sensors, laser sensors installed on the user is a sensor for detecting the like ID (personal identification) tag that is portable.
[0034]
　Door open execution determination means doors 閉待 machine cage 1413 includes a user number not Norikome to SundetoHiraki waiting car calculated in number calculation unit 1412 of the user who does not Norikome to SundetoHiraki waiting car, doors 閉待 machine car detecting means and the presence or absence and the number of information door 閉待 machine basket detected in 202, by a car ride up persons by car passengers maximum number setting means 150, if there is a car in the door 閉待 machine at that time, it door-open It determines whether to. This determination is carried out according to the following equation (3) (4).
[0035]
　SundetoHiraki not Norikome in a basket of waiting the user of the number of people ≧ car ride maximum number of people ... formula (3)
and
the basket of number> 0 ... expression in the door閉待machine in the floor (4)
here, door閉待machine car detecting means 202 detects from the data of the elevator unit control unit 200 (same as the number of detecting means 201 of SundetoHiraki standby cage).
[0036]
　Equation (3) (4) of the meaning of the judgment formula is number not Norikome the basket in SundetoHiraki waiting at the user who is in landing is in the case of more passengers maximum number of the car, and the target floor to the door 閉待 machine If the car in the presence, which means that carrying out the door-open doors 閉待 machine basket. The reason why Norikome not people are the car ride maximum number or more, the order to increase the occupancy of the car (the ratio of the actual number of passengers for boarding maximum number). For example, risk Norikome not number of persons in the context of a small number of people, which will become the new and resulting in a door open the door 閉待 machine basket will be starting the car with a small number of people, the user long wait came to the hall after there is. Therefore, without the door open until the landing of the user is just to ride a maximum number of people, by the door open at the time the reached was, because everyone aboard in a short period of time, raise the occupancy rates, shorter time required for boarding can be, consider the transport efficiency is increased.
[0037]
　That is, in the elevator group management system which controls a plurality of the car, the detection unit for detecting the number of users who are in a predetermined floor elevator landing and (Building the traffic condition detecting means 130), with door open at a predetermined floor the number calculating unit for calculating the in-car number of passengers of the car that stopped (boarded occupancy calculation unit 1411), based on the user number and in-car passengers of landing, to stop at a door-closed at a predetermined floor car number calculation unit for calculating a car of the number and (hall call assignment control unit 110), if there is a car stopped in the door-closed at a predetermined floor, the car control unit for door open the car and a (door-open waiting control means 140).
[0038]
　Also, number calculation unit, from the in-car passengers of the car that door open stop, calculates the number of people that can be boarded the car, the car control unit, boarded and the calculated user number of the detected landing possible based on the number of people, if there is a car stopped in the door-closed at a predetermined floor, is door-open the cage.
[0039]
　Also, the car control unit, the user number of landing is, if greater than is possible boarding persons, to door-open the car stopped in the door-closed at a predetermined floor.
[0040]
　Also, a storage unit for setting a boarding maximum number of pre-cage (cage boarding maximum number setting means 150), the car control unit, the difference between the possible number boarded the user the number of landing is, of the car if you ride a maximum number of people or more, to the door-open the car that stopped at the door closing at a predetermined floor.
[0041]
　In addition, the number calculating unit, on the basis of the basket in the number of passengers of the car that is user number and door-opening stop of the hall, not Norikome to the car that is the door-opening stop in the hall of the user number is calculated, and the car control unit, based on the non Norikome the calculated car number, if there is a car stopped in the door-closed at a predetermined floor, is door-open the cage.
[0042]
　Also, the car control unit, for people not Norikome the car, when it is determined that there are Norikome not human, to door-open the car stopped in the door-closed at a predetermined floor.
[0043]
　Also, the car control unit, if the number of people not Norikome the car is determined that the car ride maximum number or ride, to door-open the car stopped in the door-closed at a predetermined floor.
[0044]
　Also, the car control unit (door-open waiting car selecting means 142), when selecting a car to newly door open stop from car in the door-closing stop, if there is already a car in the door-open stop They are chosen from the car in a distant position in the elevator hall entrance than the car ahead.
[0045]
　Also comprises position information at a landing of the car obtained by door open, display unit for displaying (information guidance unit 400).
[0046]
　Further, with respect to the car in which the door-opening is stopped with a stop time calculation section for determining a stop time, the car control unit or elevator in the door-open stop expires downtime, passengers in the car or if the load value is met either reaches a predetermined value or more, thereby starting by the cage to door closing.
[0047]
　Further, door-open stop time calculation unit calculates the remaining time to the standby completion from the stop time and the elevator elapsed time door open stopping set, number calculation unit, from the detected car passengers or load value occupancy calculates a display unit boarding of the car in the stop, the location information in the landing of the car in which the door-opening is stopped, the remaining time calculated, and a possible boarding number, and displays. Or, as a control processing content of the real-time determination means 141 of the door-open waiting embodiment the cornerstone of this embodiment. Hereinafter, again considered in the control process will be described with reference to FIG.
[0048]
　Figure 3 is a diagram for explaining the idea of ​​a control process of the real-time determination of the door-open waiting embodiment. First, the number of users who are in the elevator landing of the target floor (Y01), there is a number of users who are headed to the landing. A user who is heading the landing is corresponding to the user who is in the hall at the time of a few minutes away. There is a number of people (Y03) that are already riding in the already door-open waiting to the car (Y02) ride has its cage in the hall. In addition minus the number of people (Y03) have already ride from ride maximum number of each car becomes a car of boarded possible number of people in the door-open waiting (Y04). The user who is in the hall is, go sequentially got into this boarding possible place. Then, whether the number of the car reaches the ride maximum number of people, the car is (starting with the number of passengers content of the basket), starting in the case where only a predetermined period of time. Or higher, the user enters the elevator landing, boarded from the landing to the basket, made up of a series of continuous process that the car is starting.
[0049]
　Based on this process, the user number (Y01) and the door-open can boarding the car waiting people who are landing (Y04) was detected in real time, the relationship of both a predetermined condition (Equation (2) If a and (3) conditions), the to determine sequentially to further increase the car door-open waiting is a feature of the control determines door-open waiting car in real time of the present embodiment. By this idea, depending on the circumstances of the user number (Y01) and the door-opening of the car waiting boarded possible number of people who are in the hall (Y04), start timing and the number of door-open waiting car is properly controlled. As a result, it is possible to increase for the user to come one after another in the elevator landing, I asked to ride to properly prepare the door-open waiting car, the transport efficiency by improving the occupancy and wasted time delay of suppression.
[0050]
　Hereinafter, returning to FIG. 2, for explaining the contents of the functional blocks of the entire system in the main the door-open waiting control.
[0051]
　In door-open waiting car control unit 143, in addition to the door-open embodiment of the door 閉待 machine basket have implemented management of door-open waiting car. More specifically, it manages and the standby time elapsed-car passengers in each house an open parking car, if the car in the number of passengers has reached the basket boarding maximum number (set by car passengers maximum number setting means 150), or when it reaches the door-open waiting time (set by the door-open waiting time setting unit 160) determines that the door-open waiting completed, thereby starting by door-closing the basket. Here, door-open waiting time setting section 160, like the car passengers maximum number setting means 150 as a control means of the elevator group management control unit 100. Door-open waiting time is set in the range of 10 to 20 seconds, the operator sets.
[0052]
　Information guide means 400 on the door-open waiting car, the landing of the user as Norikomeru to the door-open waiting car smoothly, guide and provide information about the door-open waiting car in the hall of the user. Information for guiding the position of the door to door opening standby cage in landing (layout) information, can boarded for each house an open parking car number, the remaining time until starting the starting order of each house an open parking car, destination floor information (express operation of each car the case may be) the destination floor as time is allocated in advance to each car. The input to the information guidance unit 400, door-open waiting car control unit door-open waiting car Unit name information obtained from 143 (used for position information) obtained from the boarding Occupancy calculating means 1411 for SundetoHiraki standby cage opening parenthesis waiting car boarding occupancy, there is a remaining time until the departure of each car obtained from door-open waiting car departure remaining time calculating unit 145.
[0053]
　In door-open waiting car departure remaining time calculating unit 145, the difference between the wait time elapsed by door-open waiting time and door-open waiting waiting elapsed time calculating unit 144 of the car by door-open waiting time setting unit 160, the door to door opening standby cage the remaining time until the departure is calculated. The standby elapsed time calculating means 144 of the door-open waiting car is for counting the elapsed time from the door-opening start of each house an open parking car, where are shown out outside For clarity, the door-open and measures the elapsed time in the waiting car control means 143, it may also be used as it is.
[0054]
　Finally, a description will be given additional allocation determining unit 111 of FIG. This additional allocation determining means, when there is no door 閉待 machine basket on the floor when there are users who do not Norikome to SundetoHiraki standby cage (greater than number is zero), additional assignment implementation of a new car to the floor the judges. This determination result is output to the assigned car selecting means (process in the code 110 of FIG. 1), in the case of additional allocation implementation, where appropriate assigned car is selected.
[0055]
　This additional allocation determination means, for example, a very large number of elevator users from a particular floor, etc. is completed or the event at the end of a big conference are based on the assumption that occurs, not Norikome to SundetoHiraki waiting car use at's number calculating means 1412 determines that there are users who do not Norikome, and aims in the absence of doors 閉待 machine basket on the floor, to dispatch allocated in prior cage for placing the user It is set to. By assigning the preceding, the assigned car is dispatched to the target floor, can be quickly carried out boarded to the user by door 閉待 machine or door open.
[0056]
　Figure 4 shows a flowchart for the functional block diagram of the overall system mainly the door-open waiting control shown in FIG. Hereinafter, describing the contents of the flowchart.
First the floor in question, determines whether downstairs implementing door-open waiting for a plurality (process F01). Although normally has a door-open waiting only one, 1, when carrying out correspondingly door-open waiting control in real time usage state shown in FIG. 2, since the door-open waiting the plurality occurs, the It judged as such. Therefore, the same meaning as in the door-open waiting to correspond in real-time use state and a plurality TaitoHiraki standby. Also, such floors, the lobby floor, the dining room floor, such as floor there is a large conference room, the floor where a large number of people from the floors to use the elevator.
[0057]
　Yes in floors performing multiple TaitoHiraki waiting next determines whether the time (or the traffic flow condition) carrying out the door-open waiting for a plurality (process F02). For example, at the time of going to work, late lunch, at the large end of the conference and corresponds to the time to carry out the door-open waiting.
[0058]
　Yes in time to implement a plurality TaitoHiraki waiting, then the sensor or from historical data to detect or calculate the following data for the target floor (process F03): Elevator landing and landing near the user number of SundetoHiraki number of passengers waiting car, SundetoHiraki waiting car number, door 閉待 machine basket of the number. Here, the elevator hall near refers to the region of the entrance hall, the entrance of the building (entrance) to the elevator landing.
[0059]
　After detecting or calculating the above data, the Occupancy boarding for SundetoHiraki waiting car calculated from the following equation (process F04).
[0060]
　(Number × car ride maximum number of SundetoHiraki waiting car) - SundetoHiraki total value ... type of number of passengers waiting cage (5)
or
[0061]
[Number 2]

[0062]
　Here, the formula (5) and (6) are the same, both to calculate the Occupancy boarding for SundetoHiraki waiting car. The equation (6) is the same formula as formula (1).
[0063]
　Above by, after calculating the Occupancy boarding for SundetoHiraki waiting car, it is calculated by the equation (2) already mentioned the number of users who do not Norikome to SundetoHiraki basket (process F05). Here If the value of the expression (2) is negative, the value zero.
[0064]
　With the number of not Norikome the calculated SundetoHiraki car users already implementing determination of said formula (3), determines whether the number is large enough to satisfy a predetermined condition (step F06). If the expression (3) is Yes, the further previously conducted determination of formula (4) mentioned, determines the presence or absence of doors 閉待 machine basket (process F07).
[0065]
　Finally, if the expression (4) is Yes, the determining that door open out on door-open waiting car, by selecting the cage to be newly door-open waiting, to wait for the car with the door-open (process F08 ).
[0066]
　The above is a flow of operation for the functional block diagram of the overall system mainly the door-open waiting control shown in FIG. 2, whereby the situation of passengers waiting car already in the door-opening and the user number of landing in response, it is possible to determine the sequential new door-open waiting car.

[0096]
　(f) already can be boarded for the car in the door-open waiting persons: Equation (1) than, 10-9 = 1 person
　(g) already user number of people not Norikome to the car in the door-open waiting: Equation (2) more, 11-1 = 10 people
　(h) door閉待machine car door open judgment: for formula (3), 10 people ≧ car ride maximum number of people 10 people the number of users who do not Norikome to the basket in the door-open waiting. For formula (4), door閉待machine car number one> 0. Thus, for satisfying the equation (3), determine the door open practice of door閉待machine basket.
[0097]
　More a result of the judgment, Unit 1 A02 of the door 閉待 machine basket becomes the door open practice, that has begun Unit 1 of the door-opening of the door A021, has become a situation of FIG. 6 (b).
[0098]
　Above, in the flow of Fig. 5 (a) (b), Figure 6 (a) (b), elevator landing of the user's situation, the car of the door-open waiting in response to real-time to the situation of the number of passengers of the door-open waiting car It described the operation of controlling the. By the control, such as described herein, attendance, at the time of congestion, such as lunch, users who come one after another to the elevator landing, taking into account the dynamic situation of the people who get into the elevator car in the door-open waiting from landing, appropriate number, since it is possible to control the door-open waiting car at the timing, congestion even at the time the user can board smoothly from the hall to the elevator car, is suppressed and wasted time, and also properly can control the number of passengers, group management elevator it is possible to improve the transport efficiency of the system.
[0099]
　7 and 8, FIG. 5, similarly to FIG. 6 depicts the operation of the door-open waiting control by functional blocks shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 8, FIG. 5, differs from FIG. 6, the entrance front of the elevator landing, there is a gate for entrance and exit (reference numeral A07 in FIG. 7 (a) (b), the sign of FIG. 8 A08) at the point, for example, it is assumed the lobby floor (the entrance floor). It is to point to detect a person coming into this elevator landing at the entry and exit gate in advance. Hereinafter, FIG. 7, for explaining the contents of operation for FIG.
[0100]
　Figure 7 (a) (b) is a user of the status shown in FIG. 5 (a) and also landing and within six elevator car in the control object hierarchy of the group managed elevators six group management elevator system and a representation represents the operation status and door open control in accordance with this order over time. Placement of a landing and the elevator car is the same as FIG. 5 (a), the same are denoted by the same reference numerals. Figure 5 is different from (a) is in that there are entry and exit gates A07, wherein detecting in advance the number of users towards the elevator landing A01. Described below, this entry and exit gates A07 corresponds to the user number detecting unit 501 of the elevator hall and the vicinity thereof in FIG. The entry and exit gate A07 is security gate, it may be in the entry-exit door.
[0101]
　Hereinafter, first described from FIG. 7 (a). Here FIGS. 5 (a) the same as are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. As conditions of this figure, first Unit 4 A04 and 5 Unit A05 is door open waiting, nine in Unit 4 is ride, the Unit 5 is riding three people. Door 閉待 machine car is only one of the first car A02, 2 Units, Unit 3, has become Unit 6 is Orazu to this floor, and traveling in the other floors. At the user a total of 9 people are in the elevator landing A01, a user attempting to enter the elevator landing're two people and further passes through the entry and exit gate A07.
[0102]
　The point here is, the number of users who are in the elevator landing, than the entry and exit gate, there is a point to be calculated by the accumulation of the number of people entering the elevator landing. The number of users who are in the elevator landing, on the number of users who are in a little before the elevator landing than that time, by adding the number of people from the entrance and exit gate entering the elevator hall, the people who got into the elevator in the door-open waiting It should be subtracted. In this way, the passengers detecting means persons detected and the elevator cab by the entry-exit gate, can be detected by calculating the number of guests in the elevator landing. Therefore, entry and exit gates A07 in FIG. 7 (a), corresponding to the user number detecting unit 501 of the elevator hall and the vicinity thereof in FIG.
[0103]
　Based on this method, after the similar to the case of FIG. 5 (a), it executes the processing of the real-time determination means door-open waiting exemplary functional blocks shown in FIG. 2 (reference numeral 141 in FIG. 2). Below, explain this.
[0104]
　First the detected value and the set value is as follows.
[0105]
　(a) the user of the elevator hall and its vicinity persons: Nine (detected in the manner described above)
　(b) already door open passengers sum of the car waiting: 9 + 3 = 12 persons (Figure 2 number of passengers detecting means 502) of the SundetoHiraki standby cage, cage where door-open waiting becomes unit 4 A04 and 5 unit A05.
[0106]
　(c) already car in the door-open waiting Number: 2 (SundetoHiraki waiting car number detecting means 201 in FIG. 2),
　(d) doors閉待machines in car: 1 Unit A02 (in FIG. 2 door閉待machine cage detection means 202).
[0107]
　(e) cab ride up persons: 10 persons (car passengers maximum number setting means 150 in Fig. 2)
　these calculated values, detected values, each calculated value and judging process than the set value is as follows.
[0108]
　(f) already available boarded for car in the door-open waiting persons: the equation (1), 20-12 = 8 persons (Occupancy calculation unit boarded for SundetoHiraki standby cage of FIG. 2 1411)
　(g) previously door not Norikome to the car of the open waiting user number of people: from the equation (2), 9-8 = 1 person (persons calculation unit 1412 of the user who does not Norikome to SundetoHiraki the waiting car of Fig. 2)
　(H) door closing the door-open determination of the waiting car: for formula (3), the number one user that does not Norikome to the basket in the door-open waiting> car ride up to number 10 people. From this not being satisfy the condition of Equation (3), door-opening doors閉待machine basket is determined not to implement (door open execution determination unit 1413 of the door閉待machine cage Figure 2).
[0109]
　7 (b) it is, from the situation in FIG. 7 (a), represents the situation after the additional time has elapsed. 7 same as (a) are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. As a change from FIG. 7 (a), the first four Unit passengers of the car A04 of which reached 10 occupants maximum number, at door-open waiting car control unit 143 in FIG. 2, the determination of the door-open waiting completion It is made. As a result, the car is starting to close the door A041 4 Unit. 5 Unit A in the door-open waiting state, boarded the number of the car has increased to five people. The number of users who are landing within and in the vicinity are a total of 8 people.
[0110]
　The number of users who are in and near the landing, by the calculation method described above, from the situation of FIG. 7 (a), the landing user number nine, from two people entering the landing (addition), FIGS. 7 (a) Figure 7 door-open waiting car Unit 4 during the time course of (b), boarded number 3 in five Unit from (subtraction) can be calculated as 9 + 2-3 = 8 people.
[0111]
　Hereinafter, the detection of the number, the calculation process, for the same and the processing described above, will be omitted.
[0112]
　8, with respect to FIG. 7 (a), the located at the entrance of the entry and exit gates A08 Bill, distance to the elevator hall A01 (A08) has a structure of long building. For this reason, people who came from the entry-exit gate A08 (A066) is not only people (A067) to go to the elevator landing A01, there are people (A068) to move in the other direction. Even in the case of FIG. 8, as in the case of FIG. 7 (a), the number of people entering the building from the entrance and exit gate A08, the number of people toward the elevator landing in that, from the boarded number of people in the car in the door-open waiting, it is possible to estimate the user number of people are in the elevator landing. Specifically, if calculating the number of people going to the elevator hall from the number of people entering from the building entrance and exit gates, later with the number of people going to the elevator landing, in the same manner as in FIG. 7 (a), the elevator landing the user number of people who are to be calculated. METHOD Here, calculation method of the number of people going to the elevator hall from the number of people entering from the building entrance and exit gates, (including machine-learning) method for statistically estimated from past data, detected directly by providing a sensor It can be considered. Therefore, entry and exit gates A08 in FIG. 8, may be considered as corresponding to the user number detecting unit 501 of the elevator hall and the vicinity thereof in FIG.
[0113]
　If calculated user number of landing, the same as described in FIG. 5 (a), the FIG. 7 (a), the possibility boarded the SundetoHiraki standby cage number, the user of the number of people not Norikome to SundetoHiraki standby cage It is calculated, and can be carried out determination of whether the door-opening the door 閉待 machine basket.
[0114]
　9, in the control flow chart of the door-open waiting car number shown in FIG. 4, from the basket being processed (target floor door 閉待 machine of Figure 4 to select the door-open waiting car, newly door-open waiting it represents a flowchart illustrating processing (F08)) for selecting the cage. 9, processing different from FIG. 4 are designated by different numbers. Hereinafter, describing the location of the processing different from FIG.
[0115]
　If there is a car waiting at the door closing on the floor (process F07 result, in the case of YES), in the car waiting at the door-closing, than any car already door open waiting, from landing entrance the distance is determined whether or not there is a long cage (F081). If there is such a door 閉待 machine cage sets the car to the next door-open waiting cage (F082). Here, if such a door 閉待 machine basket have multiple table sets the car closer to the landing entrance therein.
[0116]
　If, when already no satisfying door-open waiting car distance that long from landing entrance than any car in the door-open waiting, in the car waiting at door closing, the distance from the landing entrance is most to set up a long car to the next door-open waiting car (F083).
[0117]
　The door-open waiting car selection method shown in FIG. 9 described above, the user came to landing, because the distance to closer than car already found the following car in the door-open waiting freshly door-open waiting , likely climbed into there. Thus, already by easily boarded by people of the car in the door-open waiting, can door-open waiting car ride rate increase, it becomes possible to increase the overall transport capacity. If you do not implement such selection method on the contrary, new door-open user to wait the car will be boarded first, already cage in door-open waiting becomes possible to start remains low occupancy , results can lead to a decrease in transport capacity.
[0118]
　Figure 10 shows a flowchart for generating guidance information door-open waiting car in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 (unit code 400 of FIG. 2). This is the user who has arrived at the landing is, with respect to a plurality of door-open waiting car, the guide information for boarding smoothly.
[0119]
　First door-open waiting car control unit 143 (FIG. 2) is the floor to carry out the door-open waiting on the plurality, now determines whether there is a car waiting at the door-open (F09). If Yes to the next step, if No exits this process.
[0120]
　If there is a car waiting at door open, door-open waiting car boarding Occupancy calculation unit 1411 (FIG. 2), to the door to door opening standby cage is calculated therefrom boarding possible number to the basket (F10).
This value can be calculated by obtaining the difference between the already passengers of the car from the car ride up persons.
[0121]
　Subsequently, with respect to each house an open parking car, door-open waiting car departure remaining time calculating unit 145 (FIG. 2) calculates the time remaining until door-open waiting expires (F11). This value can be calculated by the difference of the elapsed time from the door-open waiting the start of the set value and the car door-open waiting time.
[0122]
　Furthermore, door-open waiting car departure remaining time calculating unit 145 (FIG. 2) from the remaining time until the calculated door-open waiting expires, determines the starting order of the car in the door-open waiting (F12). This is because as the remaining time small, the starting sequence can be determined as above.
[0123]
　Subsequently, door-open waiting car control unit 143 (FIG. 2), for each car in the door-open waiting to determine whether pre-destination floor is designated (F13). Control, such as the division express at the time of going to work is applicable to this case.
[0124]
　If the destination floor is specified in advance, the information guidance unit 400 (FIG. 2) to guide provides the following information about each car in the door-open waiting hall for the user (F14).
[0125]
　1) The starting order of the cage, 2) door-open waiting the expiration of the cage (departure) remaining time until, 3) which can be boarded on the car number, 4) a destination floor of the cage.
[0126]
　If the destination floor is not specified in advance and guides provide information excluding the destination floor information from the information items of the F14 (F15).
[0127]
　That is, calculated from the remaining stopping time of the car that door open is stopped and, with judges order determination unit order for starting the elevator to exit door open stop (car control means 143), the display unit, starting order to display.
[0128]
　Figure 11 is a diagram showing an example of the information guidance regarding door-open waiting car in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 10. Here, it is assumed devices such as large-sized information display display device. Some of the display portion B01, together with simulated image B02 of the elevator landing, and displays information about the elevator car in the door-open waiting. Image that represents the (a total of six in three face-to-face arrangement) each basket on the landing is the B03 ~ B08, B03, B06, corresponding to each car of the image of B07 that there is a display of the "you can ride." Elevator Unit (No1, No.4, each Unit No5) represents the Unit that can be boarded in the door-open waiting. Landing of the user than to see this display, it is possible to quickly ascertain the position of the car and the landing in the door-open waiting. Incidentally, solid black Unit (No.2, No.3, No.6) is represents the door-closed state (No. not boarded object such as during traveling).
[0129]
　Against the door-open basket image of each available ride Unit in stand-by B03, B06, each of B07, information which the user is required or reference of on boarding the car (B09, B10, B11) is presented each ing. Specifically, for each car, the remaining time information to the car departs B091, information B092 in the number of people Norikomeru the car are displayed. Look at this information, the user, if you are in a hurry, select the fast (short) Unit of the departure time, those who do not will be able to select a Unit of time until the departure. Also by looking at the boarded possible number of people, it can be determined whether it is possible to get into the car. In addition the group management control side, those who put in the basket as much as possible of the user (the person who raised the occupancy rates), because the transport capacity improvement can be achieved, boarded by showing the number of people information, also aims to encourage the boarding It is set to.
[0130]
　Above, the information guidance regarding door-open waiting car shown in FIG. 11, the elevator landing of the user, quickly find the car and its position in the door-open waiting, and the information of time and boarding possible number to departure, each of which can be selected elevator car you want. Also at the time it crowded, because there are a lot of users who are in a hurry basically, by these displays, it is possible to achieve even faster time to board the improvement of the occupancy of the car. As a result, the leading elevator transport capacity increase determined by the transport number per hour.

　Door-open waiting car of the required number
　= INT [(the total value of the number of passengers Occupancy + SundetoHiraki the waiting car of the elevator landing and the landing vicinity) / car ride maximum number of people] ... (7)
　In the formula (7), INT represents the function of integer of truncating the decimal point operation results in parentheses. By calculating the required wait number in Equation (7), can be obtained Occupancy, number appropriate for riding conditions. Furthermore the processing of integer can be calculated at not required and excess number of wait values.

　Next door open execution determination unit 1415 of the door 閉待 machine basket determines whether a new door-open waiting car needs, and whether there is a door 閉待 machine Basket the following two expressions.
[0140]
　Door open required number> SundetoHiraki waiting car number .. (8) of the standby cage
　and
　a cage in the door閉待machine number> 0 ... (9)
If the condition is satisfied for the two expressions, Shinkito It is determined to be necessary to open waiting car at door-open waiting car selecting means 142, a new door-open waiting cages appropriate cage are selected from the door閉待machine basket. The subsequent processing is the same as the functional block diagram of FIG.
[0141]
　Wherein the functional blocks of Figure 14, using as an index the door-open waiting car number, to calculate the required number, in response thereto, in that it sets the door-open waiting car number. In particular, if suddenly the user in this way is increased, thereby a plurality of by simultaneously door open door-open waiting also possible, for example, the required number of door-open waiting car by the formula (8) is SundetoHiraki waiting If there are many two than car number, and doors 閉待 machine car two or more, it is also possible control for door-open waiting two at a time.
[0142]
　As a result, for example, in a floor where there is a large conference room, keep in advance to wait for the elevator to the floor, after the end of the conference, even if the user has a large number, gathered in the elevator landing, more than at the same time according to the the number of people die by the door open, it is possible to transport a large number of users in a short period of time.
[0143]
　That is, the car number calculator, the user number of the car landing, the car in passengers of the car that door open stop, based on the ride maximum number of the car is stopped at a door open at the predetermined floor calculating a required number of the car, the car control unit, based on the required squirrel number, if there is a car stopped in the door-closed at a predetermined floor, is door-open the cage.
[0144]
　Also, the car control unit the calculated required number is, if the car number is greater than the door-open stop at that time, to the door-open the car stopped in the door-closed at a predetermined floor.
[0145]
　Figure 15 shows a flowchart for the functional block diagram of the overall system mainly the door-open waiting control shown in FIG. 14 becomes to change the operation flowchart of FIG. In the operation flowchart of FIG. 15, the same processing as in FIG. 4 are designated by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.
[0146]
　In the operation flowchart of FIG. 15, different from FIG. 4, a process (F16) for calculating the required number of door-open waiting car by a formula (7), the door-open the required number is SundetoHiraki waiting car number of the standby cage in two points of a process for determining in equation (8) (F17) whether greater than.
[0147]
　The effect of the control by the flowchart of FIG. 15 is the same as FIG. 14, and calculates the door-open waiting car number required depending on the situation of the user, previously compared with the car number in door-open waiting, new a is calculated the basket number to be door-open waiting, in multiple points simultaneously door-open waiting controllable also possible in accordance with the usage.
[0148]
　Above, the control of the elevator car door-open waiting to respond in real time to use state described up to now exert more effects already become elevator group management system of a multi-number as described. Specifically, we believe effective in group supervisory above eight, the reason will be explained below.
[0149]
　Generally one round time of the elevator is determined to be about 60 seconds to 120 seconds. In the case where if one round time was 60 seconds, many elevator number of group management, if the above eight, predetermined floor (e.g. the lobby floor) average of the car arrival interval to 60 seconds / 8 units = 7.5 the second. Elevator car of the waiting time (wait stoppage time in the door-open) is assumed Given the time it takes to boarded multiplayer 10 to 15 seconds, another car in the car of one in the lobby floor is door-open waiting There is a high possibility to arrive at the lobby floor. Thus, the greater the execution opportunities plurality of door-open waiting described thus far in this embodiment. The more further number, the opportunity increases, for example, in 12 sets the number, in the case of one round time of 60 seconds, the average arrival interval to the lobby floor becomes 5 seconds, the waiting time is about 15 seconds, lobby the waiting car at the floor there is a possibility to increase up to three, elevator when the user number is large, the same time a lot of people and to wait the two or three of the waiting elevator car with the door open in response to it it becomes possible to carry put in. Thus 1, 2, concept for controlling a plurality TaitoHiraki waiting in the embodiment shown in such FIG. 14, be particularly effective in eight or more multi number elevator group management, further the number the greater effect is considered to increase.
