Abstract
The purpose of this two-part study is to investigate the operation problem of single-car elevator systems with destination hall call registration. Destination hall call registration is such a system in which passengers register their destination floors at elevator halls before boarding the car, while in the ordinary systems passengers specify only the directions of their destination floors at elevator halls and register destination floors after boarding the car. In this part of the study, we formulate the operation problem as a dynamic optimization problem and demonstrate by computer simulations that dynamically optimized operation considerably improves the transportation capability compared to conventional selective collective operation. How to solve the dynamic optimization problem is given in the second part of this study.
