Collision avoidance method for multi-car elevator systems with more than two cars in each shaft
Authors: Shunji Tanaka, Daiki Hoshino
Abstract
In multi-car elevator systems, several cars are installed in each elevator shaft to improve the transportation capability without increasing the occupied floor space. In our previous studies, we proposed an optimization- based method to avoid collisions between cars in the same shaft of multi-car elevator systems. However, it was applicable only to the systems with two cars in each shaft. In this study we will improve this method so that it can handle more than two cars. Then, its effectiveness will be examined by computer simulation.
