ELEVATOR CONTROL APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An elevator control apparatus equipped with car stop destination floor registration devices that are provided at car stops of floors and can register destination floors of users, and configured to assign a car stop call of a user including a destination floor and registered by operation of one of the car stop destination floor registration devices to an optimum car among plurality of cars, the apparatus comprising:
- a response time calculation unit that calculates a response time of each of the cars required when the car stop call is assigned to the car;
an assignment control unit that selects the optimum car from the cars and assigns the car stop call to the optimum car, based on the response time of each of the cars calculated by the response time calculation unit;
a car load calculation unit that calculates a load value of each car at the time when each car starts from a registration floor of the car stop call after responding to the call;
a boarding possibility determination unit that determines, for each of the cars, whether the user can get on the car or not, by comparing the load value calculated by the car load calculation unit with a preset capacity value; and
a registration control unit that controls the response time calculation unit and the assignment control unit to assign the car stop call, including a second and later responses to the registration floor of the car stop call, based on a determination result of the boarding possibility determination unit.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, a response time calculation unit calculates a response time of each of the cars required when the car stop call is assigned to the car. An assignment control unit assigns the car stop call to the optimum car, based on the response time of each of the cars. A car load calculation unit calculates a load value of each car at the time when each car starts from a registration floor of the car stop call after responding to the call. A boarding possibility determination unit determines, for each car, whether the user can get on the car or not, by comparing the load value with a preset capacity value. A registration control unit performs control to assign the car stop call, including a second and later responses to the registration floor of the car stop call, based on a determination result of the boarding possibility.
