Abstract

A remaining response time for an elevator car under consideration for assignment to a newly registered hall call is estimated by using a neural network. The neural network or any other downstream module may be standardized for use in any building by use of an upstream fixed length stop description that summarizes the state of the building at the time of the registration of the new hall call for one or more postulated paths of each and every car under consideration for answering the new hall call.
