PURPOSE:To improve transportation efficiency and to shorten waiting time by deciding travel routes for getting in and off, shunting, travelling and passing in accordance with a traffic condition, making some travel routes for ascending and the others for descending and having each elevator circularly travel by way of selecting its travel route. CONSTITUTION:Circular travel of a car 9 is realized by having the car 9 in a constant direction along an ascending and descending route divided into an ascending dedicated shaft 16 and a descending-exclusive shaft 18 and by moving the car 9 between the ascending dedicated shaft 16 and the descending-exclusive shaft 18 through circulating passages installed at the lowest position and the highest position. Each of the shafts 16, 18 is constituted by dividing it into a shaft 50 for getting on and off and for travelling, a shaft 52 for travelling and a shaft for passing and out-of-service in accordance with a traffic condition. Additionally, at a decided position of each of the elevator shafts, a branching route to move between the elevator shafts is laid, and a plural number of cars existing at the elevator shafts are devised to move between the elevator shafts as well as between the same elevator shafts and each of the cars 9 is driven by linear motors 30, 32. |
