Fuzzy logic-based controller for vertical traffic detection purpose

High-rise buildings with their consequent considerable number of elevators represent a major logistic problem concerning saving space and time for the sake of an efficient performance due to economic reasons. Complex Elevator Group Control Systems are developed in order to manage properly the lifts. In this context, the dispatching issue is one of critical importance and every system must accomplish it considering two main aspects: magnitude of calculation (solving time) and managing of uncertainty. In this paper a novel traffic detection controller is proposed in order to help the EGCS with the lack of information but also taking into account the other aspect, for which Fuzzy Logic Intelligence fits perfectly.
