The current practice of lift traffic design using calculation and simulation
Lutfi Al-Sharif,Mohamed Aladem +1 more
TL;DR: The fact that calculation and simulation are not mutually exclusive methodologies is emphasised, and shows how they complement each other, where the former provides a starting design and the latter allows the designer to fine tune the lift traffic design.
Journal ArticleDOI
An integrated framework for elevator traffic design under general traffic conditions using origin destination matrices, virtual interval, and the Monte Carlo simulation method:
TL;DR: An integrated methodology for the design of elevator traffic systems for the general case of mixed traffic conditions is presented and the concept of a virtual interval is introduced in order to allow the selection of the number of elevators to be carried out.

Explicit data-driven prediction model of annual energy consumed by elevators in residential buildings
Muhammad Umer Zubair,Xuan Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: An explicit data-driven multiple linear regression model for predicting the annual energy consumption of elevators installed in residential buildings and it is concluded that saving of up to 50% of annualEnergy consumption could be achieved if non-ACVVVF drives are replaced with ACVV VF drives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-objective Optimization of Multi-Agent Elevator Group Control System Based on Real-time Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm
TL;DR: Simulation results show that EGCS based on Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) using RPSO gives good results for up-peak EGCS scheduling problem and the elevator real-time scheduling and reallocation functions are realized based on R PSO in case new information is available or the elevator becomes busy because it is unavailable or full.
Journal ArticleDOI
Double deck elevator group control systems using evolutionary algorithms: Interfloor and lunchpeak traffic analysis
TL;DR: This paper proposes a genetic algorithm that demonstrated a good performance when compared to a tabu search algorithm that was used as benchmark for comparison, taking into account different fitness evaluation functions (overall dispatching time and nearest call) and produced efficient results outperforming the considered benchmark.
