Abstract :
Elevator group control systems are the control systems that systematically manage elevators in order to transport passengers efficiently. With the increasing need for high-performance transportation systems in buildings, multi-car elevators where two cars operate separately and independently in an elevator shaft are attracting attention as the next novel elevator system. Genetic network programming(GNP) can introduce various priori knowledge of the elevator systems in its node functions easily and execute an efficient rule-based group control that is optimized evolutionary. This paper discusses the development of controllers for multi-car elevator system (MCES) using GNP The effects for MCES are examined, and we compare the advantages and performances between MCES and double-deck elevator system (DDES).
