Elevator Optimization With Real-World Constraint: Weight-Aware Algorithm
Keywords:
Elevator Control Systems, Real-Time Optimisation, Heuristic Algorithms, Passenger Flow Management, Energy Efficiency, Load BalancingAbstract
In the present day, efficient elevator management is critical for modern high-rise buildings, particularly in reducing energy consumption and wait times while enhancing passenger safety. Our study proposes a weight-aware optimisation algorithm using heuristic methods like greedy search and nearest neighbour. By incorporating a centralised control panel and real-time weight management, the system reduces operational complexity, minimises overload risks, and ensures balanced load distribution. These enhancements lead to lower energy consumption, lower maintenance costs, and improved system reliability. The simulation results highlight significant reductions in waiting time and energy consumption, aligning the solution with sustainable building practices. This research offers a scalable framework for smarter, more efficient elevator systems in urban infrastructure.
