Summary:

Multi-Car Elevator (MCE), elevators with two or more independent cars operating in the same shaft, have special characteristics that do not allow the use of conventional control methods in them. To solve this, in this paper we propose a group control method for MCE systems consisting of a schedule completion time optimization algorithm, an interference risk prevention strategy using schedule direction synchronization, and parking strategies applied according to the identified passenger traffic pattern.
