This paper introduced a previous study which suggest ways to improve problems of drive control system of Ropeless Elevator when developing prior to commercialization of Ropeless Elevator. In particular, this study also manufactured motor, linear speed sensor and the miniature systems to study the implementation of the Ropeless Elevator drive. This study examined the problem of conventional PI controller through the speed control test and focused on the advanced controller based on disturbance observer for Ropeless Elevator drive. The results of this study confirmed the feasibility of the Ropeless Elevator and showed the satisfactory results of drive control techniques. This study also extracted many more problems that still need to be improved in the future for commercializing such as the sensor, high-performance controller, precision structures, safety devices and so on.

In this paper, we propose human detection and fuzzy temperature control system for energy reduction of cooling device in elevator. In order to improve problems of existing cooling device using the refrigerant, energy reduction and efficient management are continuously achieved because of operation of thermoelectric cooling device using the human detection and fuzzy temperature control system. The proposed system confirms the number of passengers in elevator and temperature is then controlled by those numbers and an average temperature for the season in fuzzy system. The human detection method scans the number of passengers using a head part as a feature based on bird's-eye view camera in elevator. The fuzzy system determines elevator internal temperature considering atmospheric temperature and the scanned passenger numbers as a look-up table. The proposed system reduces energy of the cooling device through the human detection and temperature control. In experiment, energy reduction is confirmed and the performance of the proposed system is verified.

It is more important to study for reducing the evacuation time of occupant in fire, because the building has been taller and deeper. It has known that elevator was not safe in fire situation. So, the using elevator for evacuation has been prohibited. But the study of elevator evacuation is progressed with designing the elevator safe from flame and smoke. This study analyze the consideration factors for the calculation of elevator evacuation time. The factors for elevator evacuation calculation is starting time, round trip time. And round trip time is divided into standing time and travel time. The elevator evacuation time can be calculated by compounding these factors and adding the efficiency. For using elevator to evacuate, we need additional study for smoke control, compartment, water proof and safe electric power supply.

In this study, a predictive fuzzy control algorithm to supervise the elevator system with plural cars is developed and its performance is evaluated. The proposed algorithm is based on fuzzy in-ference system to cope with multiple control objects and uncertainty of system state. The control objects are represented as linguistic predictive fuzzy rules and simplified reasoning method is utilized as a fuzzy inference method. Real-time simulation is performed with respect o all possible modes of control, and the resultant controls ard predicted. The predicted rusults are then utilized as the control in-puts of the fuzzy rules. The feasibility of the proposed control algorithm is evaluated by graphic simulator on computer. Finallu, the results of graphic simulation is compared with those of a conventional group control algorighm.

This paper is concerned with the active vibration control of elevator by means of the active roller guide. To this end, a dynamic model for the horizontal vibration of the elevator consisting of a supporting frame, cage and active roller guides was derived using the energy method. Free vibration analysis was then carried out based on the equations of motion. Active vibration controller was designed based on the equations of motion using the LQR theory and applied to the numerical model. Rail irregularity and wind pressure variation were considered as external disturbance in the numerical simulations. The numerical results show that the active vibration control of elevator is possible.

In this paper, an optimal group control for elevator systems is proposed with timed Petri net based approach. Elevator system is modeled by time Petri nets and hall call response times are estimated with moment generating functions (MGFs) methos, which is applicable to real traffic patterns. Two assignment policies are proposed to satisfy the demands of passengers(i.e. hall/car calls) and to handle exceptional situations. In addition, optimal algorithms are implementated to minimize cost functions. THe performances of the elevator system employing the proposed algorithms are compared with each others in ways of several performance measures by a computer simulation.

An easy elevator for learning originated is opened to compare the existed learning equipment, and it had a high studying efficient that the sequence control circuit can opens and closes with the wire. The structure of equipment to be controlled from the first floor to the fifth floors is demonstrated a constructive apparatus by a lamp atc to express the function of the open-close of the door according to the cage moving with a mechanical actuation of the forward-reverse breaker and the motor of load and a mechanical actuation of hand-operation control components of push-button S/W and L/S and relay etc. These components let connects each other in order to control of the elevator function with the auto program and the designed sequence control circuit. Consequent1y the process of these functions of 1~5steps could operates the cage with an auto program of the elevator and the sequence control circuit.

In this study a MRAC(model reference adaptive control) for fluid power elevator model system was designed. The MRAC was compared with PI control in case of applying to the elevator model system with constant external load and changing external load. In this case external load was produced by a single fluid power cylinder combined with pressure control valve. In conclusion the MRAC control performance was better than PI control performance because overshoot and steady state error of the elevator model system controlled by the MRAC were not appeared for constant and changing external load.

This paper addresses an elevator position control scheme in unified control system. Conventional systems have employed independent micro-processors for speed, car, and group control respectively and the car controller generates a velocity command by combining the time-based and distance-based velocity pattern. In this scheme, it is inevitable that an elevator creeps in the vicinity of target floor, or stops abruptly. The proposed control system employs only one high-performance micro-processor, which can execute the car and group control as well as the speed control. It simply generates the desired position trajectory based on time and on-line corrects a velocity pattern to make the position error be zero. Experimental results show the feasibility of the proposed control scheme.

Generally, speed control system is used to control the elevator door. The whole speed profile must be installed in the speed controller of the door control system. However, it is not easy to modify the speed profile when door opening size and time are changed. In this paper, the making speed profile is discussed by the door opening size and time. The position control algorithms of PMSM for elevator door system are compared with general speed control, position control method with speed controller, and position control with speed command feedforward compensation by simulation using MATLAB/SIMULINK.
