The method independently serve at least two groups of floors using at least two banks of elevator cars, from a single system processor. The full strategy of the system processor is applied to each group as a whole, and not as segments of a strategy, to improve elevator service to each group, while effecting the economies which result from the utilization of a single system processor, a single hall call processor, and a single data transmission system.
