METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN ELEVATOR SYSTEM AND ELEVATOR SYSTEM FOR CARRYING OUT SAID METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a method for controlling an elevator system comprising at least one shaft (12,14) and several elevator cars. At least two elevator cars can travel upwards and downwards along a common travel path in a separate manner and a passenger can input a destination request by means of an input unit (77). The destination request is allocated to an elevator car according to an evaluation of said allocation. The aim of the invention is to develop the above method in such a way that transport capacity can be increased, causing minimum reciprocal disruption to the elevator cars travelling along a common travel path. According to the invention, when a destination request is allocated to one of the elevator cars (21,22) traveling along the common travel path, the section of the travel path section required to serve the travel request is allocated to said elevator car and allocation of the other elevator car is blocked during said period.
