Real-Time Destination-Call Elevator Group Control on Embedded Microcontrollers

We introduce new elevator group control algorithms that are real-time compliant on embedded microcontrollers. The algorithms operate a group of elevators in a destination call system, i.e., passengers specify the destination floor instead of the travel direction only. The aim is to achieve small waiting and travel times for the passengers. We provide evidence, using simulation, that the algorithms offer good performance. One of our algorithms has been implemented by our industry partner and is used in real-world systems.
