Patent Images
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 a plurality of modes of operation of a group of destination elevators, where the plurality of modes of operation comprise a plurality of groups of quality service parameters and quality timing parameters that satisfy a passenger distribution for the group of destination elevators;
selecting a quality service parameter from one of the plurality of groups of quality service parameters;
programming a processor to control a next departing elevator car, from the group of destination elevators, that departs from a building lobby with the quality service timing parameters associated with the selected quality service parameter;
monitoring the group of destination elevators to determine if the quality service timing parameters are satisfied during operation of the group of destination elevators.

Abstract
An intelligent destination elevator control system streamlines the efficiency and control of destination elevators. The system monitors a building'"'"'s population and predicts elevator traffic conditions. The system may monitor attributes of the destination elevators. Based on the monitored data, the system may generate a data structure that renders time-tables and target elevator service quality parameters that may control the destination elevators.
