ELEVATOR GROUP CONTROL DEVICE AND ELEVATOR GROUP CONTROL METHOD

摘要

An elevator group control device and an elevator group control method can eliminate congestion caused by stoppage, jam or deadlock in a vertical and horizontal movement type elevator system. The vertical and horizontal movement type elevator system controls running of a plurality of cages capable of vertically moving in a plurality of shafts and horizontally moving between the shafts. In the system, path data are stored for each of the cages, target floor data including target floors are produced on the basis of call data obtained correspondingly to the respective cages and platform call data obtained correspondingly to the respective floors, periods of time required for the cages to arrive at the target floor is predicted on the basis of the path data, target floor data, call data and cage data indicative of positions of the respective cages, and predetermined cages are allotted to predetermined platform calls on the basis of the predicted arrival time.
