How Miconic 10 rationalizes traffic

zsch096a.jpg (44054 bytes)

In this simplified example of a classic up-peak situation, 24 people call elevators over a period of a few seconds to travel from the lobby to a variety of floors.

With the conventional control the first 10 arrivals cram themselves into the first available car. The next 8 fill up the second, and the few remaining occupy the other cars.

This random behavior by passengers means that every car has multiple destination stops, so journey times are slowed. And the majority of passengers suffer overcrowding.

Miconic 10, on the other hand, knows not only that the comfortable car load is 6 persons, but also that floors 4 and 5 have the highest call density in up-peak traffic.

It directs the 6 passengers traveling to each of the two busy floors to individually assigned cars, and rationally distributes the remainder.

As a result, Miconic 10 ensures that all the passengers experience a speedy one- or two-stop ride, no-one suffers overcrowding and time to destination is faster.
