1. A computer implemented method that facilitates operation of a group of destination elevators, comprising:

  • retaining a data structure, in a data warehouse, that represents modes of operations of a group of destination elevators that satisfy predetermined traffic conditions, the modes of operations comprising timing parameters for operating the group of destination elevators;

    identifying a subset of modes of operations from the data warehouse based on a first selected operation parameter;

    selecting a mode of operation from the subset of modes of operations that satisfies a second selected operation parameter;

    programming a processor with a timing parameter based on the selected mode of operation, the processor driving an elevator control system that operates the group of destination elevators; and

    assigning passengers to one of an elevator in the group of destination elevators until a maximum number of destinations provided by the selected mode of operation is reached.
