Abstract

In this paper, the development of a new group controller for high-speed elevators is described utilizing the approach of adaptive dual fuzzy logic. Some goals of the control are to minimize the waiting time, mean-waiting time and long-waiting time in a building. When a new hall call is generated, all adaptive dual fuzzy controller evaluates the traffic patterns and changes the membership function of a fuzzy rule base appropriately. A control algorithm is essential to control the cooperation of multiple elevators in a group and the most critical control function in the group controller is an effective and proper hall call assignment of the elevators. The group elevator system utilizing adaptive dual fuzzy control clearly performs more effectively than previous group controllers.
