Elevator Trip Distribution for Inconsistent Passenger Input-Output Data
Journal Title: Decision Making in Manufacturing and Services - Year 2007, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Accurate traffic data are the basis for group control of elevators and its performance evaluation by trace driven simulation. The present practice estimates a time series of inter-floor passenger traffic based on commonly available elevator sensor data. The method demands that the sensor data be transformed into sets of passenger input-output data which are consistent in the sense that the transportation preserves the number of passengers. Since observation involves various behavioral assumptions, which may actually be violated, as well as measurement errors, it has been necessary to apply data adjustment procedures to secure the consistency. This paper proposes an alternative algorithm which reconstructs elevator passenger origin-destination tables from inconsistent passenger input-output data sets, thus eliminating the ad hoc data adjustment.

Neighbourhood Properties in Some Single Processor Scheduling Problem with Variable Efficiency and Additional Resources
In the paper, we consider a problem of scheduling a set of tasks on a single processor. Each task must be preprocessed before it can be started on a processor. The efficiency of preprocessing is variable, i.e., the rate...
Hyperbolicity of systems describing value functions in differential games which model duopoly problems
Based on the Bressan and Shen approach ([2] or [7]), we present the extension of the class of non-zero sum dierential games for which value functions are described by a weakly hyperbolic Hamilton-Jacobi system. The consi...
The Errors-in-Variable Model in the Optimal Portfolio Construction
In the paper we consider a modification of Sharpe’s method used in classical portfolio analysis for optimal portfolio building. The conventional theory assumes there is a linear relationship between asset’s return and ma...
