Abstract
An elevator group control method for allocating landing calls and car calls to elevators so that the objectives set are met. In the method, a car-specific energy consumption file is generated to describe the energy consumption occurring during each trip of the elevator from each floor to each one of the other floors with different loads, and the calls are so allocated that the energy consumption resulting from serving all the active calls is minimized.
