Abstract: Provided is an on-demand transportation management system including: a request reception means configured to receive an itinerary request of a plurality of passengers, the itinerary request including at least any one of desired departure time and desired arrival time of a shared on-demand transportation vehicle, a departure point, and a destination; and a vehicle allocation planning means configured to create a vehicle allocation plan of the on-demand transportation vehicle by classifying the plurality of passengers according to a predetermined condition that the itinerary request is received before predetermined time and the desired arrival time or the desired departure time is within a predetermined period of time. A limited number of on-demand transportation vehicles can be efficiently operated, and at the same time, a vehicle allocation plan receiving use requests of a larger number of passengers can be created.

Abstract: A system for assigning commuter vehicles (CVs) in a multi-modal transportation network having the CVs and fixed schedule vehicles to passengers is disclosed. The system receives itinerary requests from the passengers, wherein the itinerary requests of the passengers include initial locations, target locations, departure times from the initial locations, and arrival time windows including deadlines at the target locations. The system includes a memory to store computer executable programs including a grouping program, a route-search program, an operation route map program of the CVs, and a commuter assigning program, and a processor to perform steps of the programs in connection with the memory, wherein the steps include grouping the passengers into a set of groups, assigning the CVs to the groups by performing the commuter assigning program and generating assignment information of assigned CVs among the available CVs.

Abstract: An elevator control of a one-shaft multicar system includes: a collision predictor predicting occurrence of a collision of cars against each other in a same shaft in a case a predetermined collision prediction implementation condition is held; a waiting-with-door-open determination mechanism determining whether or not a car is caused to be on standby with the door thereof kept open in a case the collision predictor predicts the collision of cars against each other in the same shaft; a waiting-with-door-open floor determination mechanism determining a waiting-with-door-open floor of the car in a case the waiting-with-door-open determination mechanism determines the car is caused to be on standby with the door thereof kept open; and a controller causing at least either of the cars, for which occurrence of a collision is predicted, to be on standby with the door thereof kept open at the waiting-with-door-open floor determined by the waiting-with-door-open floor determination mechanism.

Abstract: An elevator group management system capable of appropriately performing car assignment processing without leaving any one behind and enabling a passenger to recognize a car to board without fail. A fellow passenger group assignment section assigns fellow passenger groups to respective passengers based on the contents of hall call registration for each floor received from a hall operation panel, and causes the hall operation panel that has sent the hall call registration to display names of the assigned fellow passenger. A fellow passenger group car assignment section executes, on the fellow passenger groups assigned by the fellow passenger group assignment section, car assignment processing of assigning any of a plurality of cars as an assigned car and, in a case of determining the assigned car, provides car control sections with a passenger guide command containing at least combination information on this assigned car that has been determined and the fellow passenger group.

Abstract: A car-based running power computing mechanism computes running power values of each car in both cases including cases before and after a newly generated hall call is assigned. A car-based regenerative power computing mechanism computes regenerative power values of each car in the both cases. A car-based future running power computing mechanism computes future running power values of each car in the both cases. A car-based future regenerative power computing mechanism computes future regenerative power values of each car in the both cases. A car-based assigned total evaluation index computing mechanism obtains an in-travel power consumption value and an in-future-travel power consumption value based on the running power values, regenerative power values, future running power values, future regenerative power values and the like, to thereby compute assigned total evaluation indices of each car in the both cases.

Abstract: An elevator group management system improving operational efficiency in consideration of a situation change that has occurred after a destination floor registration in a hall. An assigned car review mechanism executes assigned car review processing in units of review registration information sets each including at least one piece of provisionally assigned car registration information managed by a registered destination floor hall call management section during a review period. After ending the assigned car review processing, the assigned car review mechanism modifies the contents of the provisionally assigned car registration information in the registered destination floor hall call management section based on the contents of the review registration information set after modification. That is, the assigned car review mechanism newly registers the provisionally assigned car registration information after review and erases the provisionally assigned car registration information before review at the same time.

Abstract: Provided is an elevator system which can perform an optimum assignment suited to the operation condition of elevators and can appropriately notify a user of accurate information. For this purpose, there are provided a call registration device which registers a destination call before boarding and a notification device which provides elevator information. Normally, immediately after registration of a destination call, the notification device provides information on an assigned car. On the other hand, when a prescribed assignment review condition is met, immediately after registration of a destination call, the notification device provides information to the effect that the registration has been accepted, thereafter the assignment of the elevator is reviewed, and the notification device provides information on an assigned car when the elevator responds to the destination call.

Abstract: An elevator group control apparatus includes a parameter calculating unit for determining a weighting factor for an item to be evaluated, which is calculated from a running distance estimated by an estimation arithmetic operation unit by taking into consideration a relation between a running distance of an elevator and a passenger average waiting time, and an evaluation arithmetic operation unit for calculating a total evaluated value from an item to be evaluated of a passenger waiting time, an item to be evaluated of the running distance, and the weighting factor determined by the parameter calculating unit. The elevator group control apparatus selects an elevator whose total evaluated value is the best from among the plurality of elevators, and assigns a hall call to the selected elevator.
