Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method as defined in the preamble of claim 1 for controlling an elevator group by utilizing intelligent building control comprising building and passenger models.
  • group control of the elevators in elevator banks in buildings works in a detached manner without receiving any information concerning the building.
  • control of illumination and heating, plumbing and air conditioning systems in the building function separately, only utilizing information concerning the building.
  • the opera- tion or use or frequency of use of an elevator in a building traditionally has no influence on the automatic control of the functions and processes going on in the building.
  • a problem with solutions according to the known state of the art is that the group control of the elevator group does not utilize any databases covering the building and containing information concerning the building and / passengers. Likewise, the utilization of information received from the group control system of the elevator group in building control is inadequate. This the case especially in present-day intel- ligent building applications.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks of the known state of the art .
  • a specific object of the invention is to establish a symbiosis between the group control system of an elevator group, including the associated databases, and an intelligent building control system comprising building and passenger models.
  • the invention provides the advantage of rendering the group control decisions in the elevator group more intelligent because, on the basis of data giving the location of passengers on each floor, it is possible to anticipate whether they may be entering the elevator system. Therefore, the waiting times and journey times of elevator passengers are shortened signi icantly. In addition, passengers' special needs, such as physical handicaps, can be taken into account better than before. Likewise, in the solution of the invention, the rights of use of the elevators can be more accurately defined.
  • the solution of the invention provides the advantage that the final destinations of elevator passengers are taken into account in the routing of the elevators . For example, it is possible to take into account on which floor the elevator passenger's apartment is located.
  • the solution of the invention also provides the advantage that the intelligent building functions can be better anticipated because the group control system of the elevator group can tell the passenger's future time and place of arrival at the destination floor.
  • the switch- on of the lights and/or air conditioning system and/or the opening of doors can be better anticipated in the case of a physically handicapped passenger.
  • the method of the invention for controlling an elevator group by utilizing an intelligent building control system comprising building and passenger models is characterized by what is disclosed in the characterization part of claim 1.
  • the features of preferred embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the subclaims.
  • the elevator group is preferably controlled by utilizing an intelligent building control system comprising building and pas- senger models.
  • passenger-specific passenger data obtained from the intelligent building control system are used for making more intelligent allocation decisions for the elevators in the elevator bank as well as more intelligent passen- ger decisions.
  • the aforesaid passenger data used comprise data indicating the anticipated destination floor of the passengers using the elevator group.
  • the aforesaid passenger data used comprise data indicating the anticipated destination floor of the passengers using the elevator group, taking into account the current time of the day.
  • the aforesaid passenger data used consist of information concerning the users of the intelligent building, said information being stored in the database of the intelligent building control system.
  • Such information stored in the database of the intelligent building control system may comprise information regarding the users' rights of passage in different parts of the intelligent building.
  • the aforesaid database may contain special information about the users of the intelligent building. Such information could indicate e.g. that the user of the intelligent building is physically handicapped, in which case the group control system of the elevator group would be able to increase the door-open time of the elevator.
  • the special information may contain stored data indi- eating the preferences and habits of the user of the intelligent building, enabling an information screen in the elevator car to automatically provide information appropriate and intended for the user.
  • Such special data may indicate e.g. whether the user of the intelligent building uses his own car or public means of transport, so that when the user of the intelligent building leaves the building to go home, the information screen in the elevator car will show the user either public transport service schedules or alterna- tively information about traffic jams or road conditions along the user's way home.
  • information collected from the intelligent building environment can be used in the control of the aforesaid elevator group.
  • an effective and functional sym- biosis between elevator group control and intelligent building control is achieved.
  • the aforesaid elevator group preferably comprises a passenger database and passenger identification via a call input device for obtaining passenger data.
  • the elevator group control system establishes the passenger's identity by means of an intelligent device carried by the passenger.
  • an intelligent device may be e.g. an intelligent card or structure or a mobile terminal.
  • the passenger using the aforesaid elevator group is identified by means of a destination call device.
  • a passenger wanting to use an elevator is guided by means of the aforesaid destination call device to the elevator or elevator door allocated for the aforesaid passenger.
  • This guidance of the passenger is a particularly useful feature in complex eleva- tor lobbies comprising several double-door elevators.
  • the information provided by the group control system of the elevator group to the aforesaid intelligent building control system comprises the passenger's location and estimated time of arrival at the destination floor.
  • the information provided by the group control system of the elevator group to the aforesaid intelligent building control system comprises passenger identification data and/or number of passengers detected by the group control system of the elevator group.
  • people's rights of passage in the entire intelligent building are defined by using the aforesaid passenger data and database settings of the intelligent building.
  • informa- tion used in the control of the aforesaid elevator group and collected from the intelligent building environment is obtained from the access control system and/or alarm system and/or fire alarm system and/or heating control system and/or air conditioning control system and/or illumination control system of the intelligent building.
  • the aforesaid group control system of the elevator group is preferably based on genetic algorithms.
  • the group control system of the elevator group can utilize user data obtained from the intelligent building control system. These aforesaid user data are utilized in the group control of the elevator group to determine passenger data for the elevators.
  • the group control of the elevator group and the control of the intelligent building are in constant mutual interaction, so that the user data of the elevator system are also made available to the intelligent building control system.
  • the elevators in the elevator bank are controlled in a manner that makes use of the intelligent building control system comprising building or passenger models.
  • this group control of the elevator group is preferably so implemented that the passenger-specific passenger data obtained from the intelligent building control system are used for making more intelligent allocation decisions for the elevators in the elevator group as well as more intelligent passenger decisions.
  • the identification of the users of the intelligent building and the identification of the passengers using the elevator group are mutually interconnected because the user of the intelligent building is very probably a user of the elevators included in the elevator group.
  • a visitor who seldom visits the intelligent building is not necessarily one of the identifiable users of the intelligent building because he/she does not have a visit history in the building.
  • the group control system of the elevator group has an interactive connection with a passenger database comprising the passengers of the aforesaid elevator group.
  • the group control system of the elevator group receives passenger identification information from a call input device. According to the invention, this is preferably accomplished by utilizing intelligent means, e.g. intelligent cards, so that each passenger using the elevator group carries such a means, which can only be used in a certain elevator or certain elevators of the elevator group as appropriate in each case.
  • the elevator passengers can be guided via the display of a destina- tion call device placed in an elevator lobby in the intelligent building so that a passenger who wants to use an elevator is guided to the elevator or elevator door allocated for him/her.
  • the elevator lobby may also be provided with a display disposed separately from the destination call device to guide the passenger who wants to use an elevator.
  • destination call means giving the elevator system a call in such manner that, while still in the lobby, the passenger needing an elevator gives the elevator a call to his/her destination floor.
  • the elevator comprises an information screen placed inside the car to automatically offer the elevator passenger information and possible guidance consistent with the passenger's habits and preferences, because the special information regarding the elevator passenger is made available to the group control system of the elevator group in connection with the identification of the elevator pas- senger.
  • information is supplied to the elevator group from the alarm system and/or fire alarm system of the intelligent building, so that the group control system of the elevator group will be aware of any emergency occurring in the intelligent building.
  • the group control system of the elevator group is informed by the fire alarm system of the intelligent building that there is a fire on a certain floor of the intelligent building and one or some of the floors have been arranged to serve as evacuation floors, the group control system will be able to control the elevators of the elevator group in such manner that the elevators will pass by the fire floor.
  • the group control system of the elevator group allocates elevators with the highest priority to the floors arranged to serve as evacuation floors.
  • the group control system of the elevator group can allocate elevators exclusively to the floors arranged to serve as evacuation floors, ignoring all the other floors and floor calls .
  • user data comprising passenger data of the elevator group are supplied from the elevator group to the intelligent building control system.
  • user data comprising passenger data of the elevator group are supplied from the elevator group to the intelligent building control system.
  • the intelligent building control system identifies the users and/or residents of the intelligent building on a floor-specific basis, and this information is utilized in the intelligent building control, preferably for defining the passage rights in the intelligent building, establishing limited access rights.
  • the aforesaid definitions of passage rights are transmitted as user data from the intelligent building control system to the group control system of the elevator group, which in turn limits the access of the passengers of the elevator group to those certain floors and / tenants only, to which the passengers have access on the basis of the limited access rights defined by the intelligent building control system.
  • the user data supplied to the intelligent building control system are utilized in the control of heating and/or cooling of the intelligent building.
  • From the group control system of the elevator group is preferably obtained information regarding the current number of persons present on each floor at any given time, this information being in- eluded in the aforesaid user data supplied.
  • the intelligent building control system is thus able to control the heating of each floor of the building separately, taking into account the current number of passengers in the elevators on each floor. Consequently, the intelligent building control system can acquire an anticipating capacity because it is able to use passengers' destination floor data received from the call input device of the elevator group. Therefore, the method of the invention makes it possible to reduce the consumption of energy used for the heating of the floors of the intelligent building.
  • the user data received from the group control system of the elevator group can be utilized for apartment-specific control of heating in the intelligent building so that, when the aforesaid user data includes information indicating that a given passenger is arriving by elevator at his/her destination floor, the heating system in the aforesaid passenger's workplace or apartment is switched on at the same time.
  • the heating is adjusted from a lower economy temperature to the level of a higher living temperature.
  • the user data supplied to the intelligent building control system are utilized in the control of air conditioning in the intelligent building. For example, when a large number of people are detected to be present on a given floor, the air conditioning system is adjusted to a higher level of efficiency. On the other hand, in a contrary case the air conditioning system is adjusted to a lower level of efficiency, thus reducing the amount of energy consumed for air conditioning.
  • the user data supplied to the intelligent building control system are utilized in the control of illumination in the intelligent building. It is thus possible to dim the il- lumination in the elevator lobby on a given floor when it is known that there no passengers in the elevator lobby on that floor. On the other hand, the illumination can be turn off altogether when the elevator lobby is found to be empty.
  • This illumination control can be implemented separately for each apartment or tenant so that, when the group control system of the elevator group detects a passenger in an elevator, the user data is transmitted to the intelligent building control system, which checks whether the illustration in the workroom or apartment of the aforesaid passenger has been turned off. If the lights are still on, then the intelligent building control system automatically turns off the illumination. Via such procedures in the symbiosis between the intelligent building con- trol system and the group control system of the elevator group, the amount of energy consumed for illumination is reduced.
  • the user data supplied from the group control system of the elevator group to the intelligent building control system is utilized in the control of elevator doors and their locking mechanisms in the intelligent building.
  • the door-open time can be extended as compared to the normal situation.
