| Miconic 10 system architecture The early input of destination information is the key to Miconic 10's unique
capability.
Every request can be assessed individually before the passenger
enters the car.
Processing and assignment occurs in a fraction of a second, and to
the passenger it appears virtually instantaneously.
Miconic 10 incorporates two processors: a master and a slave. Both
are in continuous operation, keeping a check on each other's performance to promote
reliability consistency and total safety.
Miconic 10 in Action
1) At the lobby, 2 passengers (red) key floor 2 and
another (green) keys floor 5.
2) Miconic 10 registers the calls and analyzes
elevator status. It selects cars A and B for assignment due to the shorter time they
require to answer the calls, achieving minimum waiting time.
Its algorithm groups passengers with the same departure and/or
destinations floors. It also allows individualized service to different destinations under
light traffic. So initially it aims to give everyone a one-stop trip by allocating the
passenger for floor 5 to Car A and the two for floor 2 to Car B.
3) A further call is keyed by a passenger at floor
3 requesting travel to floor 5. Miconic 10's algorithm favors grouping passengers by
destination, so it modified its assignment of Car A to collect the additional passenger on
the way up.
