    摘要: A method of operating a building elevator system having a plurality of elevator systems organized into an elevator group including: detecting crowd data within an elevator lobby proximate the elevator group on a landing; determining a level of crowdedness in response to the crowd data; determining at least two elevator cars of the plurality of elevator systems are required in response to the level of crowdedness; dispatching an elevator car of a first elevator system of the plurality of elevator systems to the landing; dispatching an elevator car of a second elevator system of the plurality of elevator systems to the landing; and coordinating an arrival time of the elevator car of the first elevator system at the landing and an arrival time of the elevator car of the second elevator system at the landing.

    摘要: The invention refers to a method for allocating elevator cars in an elevator system for passenger transport having at least one elevator group with at least one elevator having at least one elevator car, which elevator group is controlled by an elevator group control having a call allocation system to allocate an elevator car to a floor call using destination call control wherein the floor call includes the departure floor as well as the destination floor, whereby the elevator system communicates via a communication means with terminal devices, e.g. mobile devices acting as destination operating panels for the passengers. According to the invention the call allocation system is configured to handle load calls issued via the terminal device, whereby a load call comprises a departure floor, a destination floor, load specification data and a first time or time frame within which the load is to be transported from the departure floor to the destination floor, and the allocation system reserves within the first time/time frame the necessary space and/or weight in an elevator car, obtained from the load specification data and sends a notice to the terminal device from which the load call has been issued and/or to a predetermined terminal device, which notice comprises information that currently or at what time an elevator car is going to serve the load call and which elevator car is going to serve the load call.
