Genetic and tabu search approaches for optimizing the hall call-car allocation problem in elevator group systems

The most common problem in vertical transportation using elevator group appears when a passenger wants to travel from a floor to other different floor in a building. The passenger makes a hall call by pressing a landing call button installed at the floor and located near the cars of the elevator gro...

description The most common problem in vertical transportation using elevator group appears when a passenger wants to travel from a floor to other different floor in a building. The passenger makes a hall call by pressing a landing call button installed at the floor and located near the cars of the elevator group.

In this paper, we have developed different elevator group controllers based on genetic and tabu search algorithms.
