Summary:
Multi-Car Elevator (MCE) is the novel system and attracts attention for improvement of transportation in high-rise buildings, but the design of controller for MCE is very difficult engineering problem. In this paper, the works of the authors are summarized: The control of MCE is divided to four phases and the assignment of a car to a hall-call is focused. The exemplar-based policy is used for the assignment, the policy is evaluated through discrete event simulation, and the parameter is optimized by genetic algorithm. To design traffic-sensitive controller, multi-objective optimization is utilized. Finally a policy visualization method is proposed for analyzing how the policy works.
