Elevator Group Control System EGCS with Risk Management

Abstract

A crucial area in today’s situation is to provide efficient vertical transportation to an increasing population. There is a necessity to install multiple lifts in the building instead of a single elevator to satisfy all passenger requests. People face many transportation problems when one of the elevators shut down its working. To minimize the passenger's inconvenience, there is a necessity of an efficient mechanism to reschedule the elevators according to the installed algorithm. The proposed study focuses on elevator scheduling in the Elevator Group Control System (EGCS) with proactive and reactive risk management techniques. The proposed EGCS handles the situations that may occur due to the elevator shut down and hiring elevators. Once the system detects elevator failure or elevators are booked for a particular period, the signal sends automatically or manually by the administrator. After receiving the message, the EGCS reconfigures installed elevator scheduling algorithms and dynamically reschedule the elevators.
