Abstract

The object of the invention is to achieve a new solution for allocating landing calls to the elevators in an elevator group so that the control call received by each elevator changes as seldom as possible. This is achieved via genetic allocation by using the allocation option selected in the preceding instance of allocation as one chromosome in the starting chromosome population in a new instance of allocation.
