ABSTRACT Analysis of elevator traffic in high rise buildings is critical to the performance evaluation of elevator group control systems (EGCS). Elevator dispatching methods or parking algorithms in an EGCS can be designed or modified according to analyses of traffic flow. However, interpretation of traffic flow based solely on numerical data may not be explicit and transparent for EGCS experts as well as for other non-expert building administration. In this study, we present a model for visualization and analysis of elevator traffic. First, we present an alternative approach for traffic analysis which we call route visualization. In the proposed approach, we initially decompose elevator traffic into its component parts and investigate each component independently. Then, using superposition of components we obtain a reconstructed model of overall traffic. This modeling approach provides component-based traffic analysis and representation of routes with intensities through data visualization. In the second part we introduce a multi-dimensional analysis of time parameters in ECGS. This approach provides a comparative analysis of several control algorithms such as dispatch or park algorithms for different combinations of traffic components.

电梯交通可视化和分析模型

摘要 高层建筑中电梯交通的分析对于电梯群控系统 (EGCS) 的性能评估至关重要。EGCS 中的电梯调度方法或停车算法可以根据交通流分析进行设计或修改。然而，对于 EGCS 专家以及其他非专家建筑管理人员而言，仅基于数字数据对交通流量的解释可能并不明确和透明。在这项研究中，我们提出了一个用于可视化和分析电梯交通的模型。首先，我们提出了一种交通分析的替代方法，我们称之为路线可视化。在所提出的方法中，我们最初将电梯交通分解为其组成部分，并独立调查每个组成部分。然后，使用分量的叠加，我们获得了整体交通的重建模型。这种建模方法通过数据可视化提供了基于组件的交通分析和具有强度的路线表示。在第二部分中，我们介绍了 ECGS 中时间参数的多维分析。这种方法提供了几种控制算法的比较分析，例如针对不同交通分量组合的调度或停车算法。
