A Survey of Elevator Group Control Systems for Vertical Transportation: A Look at Recent Literature

Elevators (also called "lifts" in some locales) are installed in buildings to meet the vertical transportation needs of the building occupants. The total vertical transport capacity of a building is a crucial factor in its success as a working, living, or service facility. Elevators must be easily accessible, readily available, provide quality service, and be reliable.
