The strategies were tested in a simulation of a twenty-five floor building and compared to a traditional system of one elevator car per shaft using the collective control scheduling strategy. This new system calls for new algorithms to schedule the assignment of the passengers’ calls.ĭifferent strategies based on the collective control algorithm were developed to schedule the maglev system. Such a system is to be constructed and tested during 2016 and functions using magnetic levitation technology. 2015 (English) Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE credits Student thesis Abstract Įlevator systems have been quite similar for more than a hundred years and it has only quite recently become more feasible to have elevators being able to switch shafts allowing the construction of a system with more than two elevator cars in a single shaft.
