Transportation systems in buildings are part of everyday life:
whether ferrying people twenty storeys up to the office or moving
luggage to the airport check-in, 21st-century man relies on them.
Control of Traffic Systems in Buildings presents the state of
the art in the analysis and control of transportation systems in
buildings focusing primarily on elevator groups. The theory and
design of passenger traffic and cargo transport systems are
covered, together with actual operational examples and topics of
special current interest such as:
a [ noisy, on-line and algorithmic optimization;
a [ simulation-based modeling of passengers and goods;
a [ control of cooperative agent-oriented systems;
a [ proposal for a benchmark to compare new control methods;
a [ deployment and testing of transportation systems.
Special attention is given to the techniques and uses of
simulation and a working simulator is included that allows readers
to explore the subject for themselves.
The safe running of such automated traffic systems, though
vital, gets rather taken for granted but workers in elevator
control have pioneered the development of many modern control
systems for employment in all sorts of traffic and scheduled
systems being among the first to realize the potential of
techniques like fuzzy logic, neural networks and genetic
algorithms. For this reason, this exposition of recent work in
in-building transport control will be of considerable interest to
researchers and engineers in many areas of control, particularly
those working in optimal or supervisory control, urban
transportation systems and intelligent transport systems as well as
to those directly interested in theelevator control systems under
discussion.
