Abstract

Vertical transportation of large capacity is essential for high-rise buildings. Limitation of the handling capacity is due to the fact that only one car can be operated per shaft in conventional roped lift systems. Therefore, ropeless direct drive technique for lifts is a key technology. In the ropeless lift systems, the operation of several cars in one shaft and transferability between shafts can be realized. It is important to operate cars taking these merits of ropeless lift systems into account. The authors, therefore, propose a scheduling method of multiple cars for long vertical transportation. In these systems, an operating technique for railway systems has given a basis of the schedulin
