Abstract

Elevators are the primary method for occupants to move between floors inside modern buildings. Therefore, there have been efforts in minimizing the service delay for a elevator call. Recently, the industry has started to leverage human behavioral patterns in optimizing the elevator dispatching algorithm. However, we argue that it is difficult to judge their gains in the real world, mainly due to the lack of real-world data sets and analysis based on human behavior. We take the first step in studying the human behavioral patterns in the elevator usage. Our analysis is based on real-world traces collected from 12 elevators in an 18-story office building.

Elevators are designed to facilitate the smooth and efficient transportation of people from one architectural floor to the next. If they work well, people should not think about the journey at all. Instead, their concentration should remain focused on ...

In this paper, we propose a novel agent-based simulation modeling of human behaviors. A conceptual framework of human behavioral simulation is suggested using the ecological definition of affordances in order to mimic perception-based human actions ...

Abstract
Elevators are familiar transporting systems exhibiting nontrivial out-of-equilibrium behaviors like the cluster motion in which multiple elevators arrive without much time between them. In this study, especially focusing on the interaction which ...
