Strategies for an Elevator Dispatcher System

Original language description

To provide for an efficient elevator system, a variety of diverse and sometimes conflicting constraints have to be solved. This paper focuses on using discrete event simulation as a means to model and explore elevator dispatching strategies. Arena simulation software has been used as a test-bed for model building, simulation and some experimentation. Model building using Arena building blocks are described in detail followed by four different elevator call strategies. The mains steps in the methodologyare described with reference to a single elevator servicing a four floor office building. The elevator call strategies are simulated and results compared. It has been found that the data set significantly skews the results and overshadows any efficiencygains that might be possible from the different dispatching strategies. The paper concludes with the need to carefully selecting the data set as the basis for simulation comparisons and outlines future work required.
