Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of intelligent building elevator traffic scheduling, and in particular relates to an intelligent building elevator traffic scheduling method and system for energy-saving optimization. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the prevalence of high-rise buildings, elevators have become a core component of vertical transportation in buildings. Traditional elevator dispatching systems typically use preset rules or simple algorithms (such as first-come, first-served or shortest response time) to manage elevator operations. These systems can operate effectively in low-complexity scenarios, but they exhibit significant limitations in modern, complex buildings, particularly those with dense traffic such as office towers, commercial centers, or residential communities.

[0003] On the one hand, the concentrated distribution of passenger flow during peak hours and the sparse flow characteristics during off-peak hours make it difficult for traditional elevator scheduling strategies to strike a balance between efficiency and energy consumption. During peak hours, the uneven allocation of elevator resources often leads to excessive waiting times and frequent overload alarms, while during off-peak hours, a large amount of energy is wasted due to the empty operation of elevators. This phenomenon not only reduces the travel experience of passengers, but also increases the operating costs of buildings. On the other hand, the dynamic behavioral characteristics of the building crowd (such as time period fluctuations in traffic flow and hot spot effects on specific floors) make it difficult for traditional methods to perceive and respond to crowd changes in a timely manner, and scheduling decisions lag behind actual needs. In addition, the existing technology lacks load balancing optimization for long-term use of equipment, which leads to excessive use of some elevators, accelerated equipment aging, and increased maintenance costs.

[0004] While some studies have attempted to improve dispatch strategies by introducing optimization algorithms (such as genetic algorithms and ant colony algorithms) and data-driven approaches (such as statistical analysis or simple predictive models), most lack in-depth integration of the temporal and spatial flow characteristics and real-time data within buildings. This results in dispatch systems still exhibiting problems such as delayed response, lack of flexibility, and limited energy savings when responding to diverse demands and complex environments.

[0005] In summary, the core problems of the existing technology can be summarized as follows:

[0006] The scheduling strategy has poor adaptability to complex traffic characteristics: it cannot respond to peak and trough traffic changes in real time, resulting in long waiting times and no-load operation problems.

[0007] Lack of accurate prediction of future traffic changes: Existing methods are usually based on static rules or simple predictions and cannot adjust scheduling strategies in advance.

[0008] Inefficient energy utilization: Existing systems fail to effectively combine real-time demand with equipment status to optimize energy consumption management.

[0009] Unbalanced equipment utilization: Long-term unbalanced load distribution accelerates the aging of some equipment and increases maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The purpose of this invention is to propose an intelligent building elevator traffic scheduling method and system for energy-saving optimization. Through the deep integration of traffic prediction, scheduling optimization and energy consumption management, while improving the system adaptability, flexibility and energy efficiency, it significantly improves the passenger experience and provides a smart and efficient elevator scheduling solution for modern high-rise buildings.

Compared with traditional methods, this module not only captures traffic fluctuations over time but also identifies hotspot effects on different floors, providing highly accurate forecasting support for scheduling optimization. Traffic forecasting enables the system to proactively adjust elevator zoning and operation strategies, significantly reducing wait times and overloads.

[0099] To address complex traffic distribution and diverse demands, this paper designs a multi-objective optimization scheduling framework based on deep reinforcement learning (e.g., PPO). This module optimizes by minimizing wait times, energy consumption, and equipment load imbalance. It dynamically generates optimal scheduling strategies based on real-time call requests, elevator status, and traffic forecasts. Through adaptive learning, the system balances response efficiency and load distribution during peak periods and optimizes elevator start and stop strategies during off-peak periods, achieving efficient and energy-efficient operation.

[0100] To further reduce energy consumption and equipment maintenance costs, this invention incorporates energy management and equipment health monitoring mechanisms, combining traffic forecasting and scheduling optimization. The system dynamically adjusts elevator start and stop strategies during off-peak periods to avoid unnecessary no-load operation, while also recovering braking energy and prioritizing it to high-demand areas. Furthermore, by monitoring the long-term load distribution of equipment, the system can balance equipment usage, extend equipment life, and reduce maintenance costs.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0104] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent building elevator traffic scheduling method for energy-saving optimization, the method comprising the following steps:

[0105] S1. Collect real-time data from building sensor equipment and elevator monitoring systems and preprocess them. Perform time window-based feature extraction on the preprocessed data to obtain a weighted feature matrix. Use the physical proximity between floors to construct an association regularization term to enhance the floor association features of the weighted feature matrix. Convert the weighted feature matrix into a time series feature matrix based on a time window to capture historical trends and obtain a feature time series matrix.

[0106] Specifically, real-time call requests, elevator status, and time features are collected to form a feature matrix for use in subsequent steps.

[0107] Furthermore, building sensor equipment and elevator monitoring systems are used to collect the following data:

[0108] Floor call matrix C(t): C(t)[i,j] represents the call intensity from floor i to floor j at time t, in units of calls.

[0109] Elevator state matrix S(t): describes the real-time position, load and direction of each elevator, S k (t)=[pos k ,load k ,dir k ],in:

[0110] POS k Indicates the current floor of elevator k.

[0111] load k Indicates the load ratio (normalized to [0,1]).

[0112] dir k Indicates the running direction, with values ​​of {-1,0,1}, representing downlink, stationary, and uplink respectively.

[0113] Time feature T(t): represents contextual information, such as timestamp (weekday / weekend, peak / valley, etc.), using one-hot encoding.

[0114] Furthermore, the above data are combined into a basic feature matrix D(t) to express the state of the building elevator system at the current moment:

[0115] D(t)=[C(t),S(t),T(t)]

[0116] Furthermore, a dynamic anomaly detection model is designed for possible anomalies in elevator and floor call data (such as non-existent floor requests or load data anomalies). Use historical expected values ​​to eliminate outliers and ensure data reliability:

[0117]

[0118] in, It is the dynamic expected value calculated based on historical data. ∥·∥2 represents the bi-norm, which is used to measure the degree of deviation of the feature matrix.

[0119] Furthermore, the cleaned data is used as input for the next step of feature extraction, reducing the interference of abnormal noise on modeling.

[0120] Furthermore, in order to capture the dynamic characteristics of building traffic and elevator status, the feature matrix D(t) is mapped to the weighted feature matrix within the time window ΔT The weighted features are defined by the following formula:

[0121]

[0122] Where w(τ) is the time weight function, for example w(τ)=e -λ ( t-τ ), λ is the weight decay parameter, which is used to highlight the importance of data at more recent time points. Weighting matrix It provides dynamic distribution information in the time dimension, including key features such as call frequency changes, load fluctuations, and direction deviations.

[0123] Furthermore, to further improve the feature representation capability, the physical proximity between floors is used to construct an association regularization term. Define floor association regularization:

[0124]

[0125] in, Indicates the physical proximity weight of floors i and j (e.g., the closer the elevator stops, the closer the The larger the value). Regularization term The smoothness between features of adjacent floors is enhanced and local sampling errors are reduced.

[0126] Furthermore, the weighted matrix Further transformed into time series feature matrix D seq , to capture historical trends:

[0127]

[0128] D seq The dimension is (ΔT, m, n), where ΔT is the time window length, m is the number of floors, and n is the feature dimension. This feature sequence is the direct input of the subsequent traffic prediction model and provides sufficient spatiotemporal dynamic information.

[0129] Further, output: the cleaned time series feature matrix D seq .

[0130] Function: This feature sequence plays an important role in patent scenarios. It serves as the core input for subsequent steps (such as traffic prediction and scheduling optimization), providing accurate data support for dynamic optimization.

[0131] Furthermore, through the above design, the solution effectively integrates floor calls, elevator status and time feature information, and uses time weighting and floor association enhancement to overcome the problem of insufficient spatiotemporal dynamic perception in existing methods.

[0132] S2. Build a prediction model based on the characteristic time series matrix to obtain the flow and thermal distribution of future floors. At the same time, build an optimization objective function based on the predicted value of the prediction model and the actual prediction error to train the prediction model. Use the characteristic time series matrix as the input of the trained prediction model, and output the flow and thermal distribution within K time steps in the future period to identify high-demand floors and time periods.

[0133] Specifically, this step receives the output feature time series matrix D of step 1 seq , whose dimension is (ΔT,m,n), and includes dynamic features such as floor call intensity, elevator status and time context:

[0134] ΔT: time window length.

[0135] m: Number of floors.

[0136] n: Feature dimension (such as floor call frequency, load status, direction characteristics, etc.).

[0137] Each D seq [t,i,k] represents the value of floor i and feature dimension k at time t. This matrix can capture the historical flow trend of a floor and is a key input for future flow prediction.

[0138] Furthermore, in order to predict the future floor flow thermal distribution H(t+k), a prediction model combining spatiotemporal dynamic characteristics is designed.

[0139]

[0140] Model design: Includes the following modules:

[0141] Temporal feature extraction: Model the dynamic changes within the time window ΔT and extract the change patterns in key time periods.

[0142] Inter-floor correlation modeling: By capturing the spatial correlation between floors (such as the linkage relationship between adjacent floors), the traffic trend of hot spots can be predicted.

[0143] Attention mechanism: Dynamically assign weights to highlight the features of high-traffic floors.

[0144] Furthermore, to address special issues in patent scenarios (such as sudden hotspot changes and uneven distribution of floor traffic), two targeted regularization terms were designed during the optimization process:

[0145] Local smoothing regularization: ensures continuity of thermal distribution between adjacent floors and reduces unreasonable prediction mutations:

[0146]

[0147] Represents the physical proximity weight of floors i and j. The closer the distance, the greater the weight.

[0148] β controls the regularization strength.

[0149] Dynamic weighting term: To highlight the importance of high-traffic floors, a dynamic weighting term is added to the model’s loss function:

[0150]

[0151] ρ i is the flow weight of floor i, which is dynamically adjusted to the normalized value of the past flow mean, so that the high-demand floors have a more significant impact on the optimization.

[0152] Furthermore, considering the prediction error and the above regularization term, the optimization objective function is constructed

[0153]

[0154] The first term is the prediction error, which measures the difference between the model prediction and the actual traffic.

[0155] The second term is local smoothing regularization, which ensures the continuity of flow distribution between adjacent floors.

[0156] The third item is a dynamic weighting item, which makes the optimization pay more attention to the prediction accuracy of high-traffic floors.

[0157] Furthermore, the trained model Input D seq Then, the flow thermal distribution H(t+k) within K time steps in the future period is output:

[0158] The dimension is (K,m), where K is the number of prediction time steps and m is the number of floors.

[0159] Each H i (t+k) represents the traffic intensity of floor i at time t+k in the future.

[0160] Furthermore, the output is: future traffic thermal distribution H(t+k), which is used to identify high-demand floors and time periods.

[0161] Function: Provide dynamic input for step S3 (scheduling optimization), support efficient scheduling decisions, reduce waiting time and improve elevator resource utilization.

[0162] Furthermore, through the above design, the prediction model in this step incorporates spatiotemporal dynamics and introduces innovative regularization terms for the special scenarios of floor-to-floor traffic distribution. Local smoothing regularization and dynamic weighting terms effectively improve the smoothness of predictions between floors and optimize the focus on high-traffic floors.

[0163] S3. Based on the characteristic time series matrix and the flow thermal distribution within K time steps in the future period, a scheduling strategy based on multi-objective reinforcement learning is designed, including the target floor allocation and dynamic operation path of the elevator.

[0164] Specifically, this step receives the future flow thermal distribution H(t+k) output from step 2 and the dynamic characteristic matrix D(t) generated in step 1, and combines the two to provide input for scheduling optimization:

[0166] D(t): Contains the real-time status information of the elevator (such as position, load, direction, etc.), providing support for real-time decision-making.

[0167] Furthermore, this step aims to optimize the elevator scheduling strategy through the reinforcement learning model to solve the problems of insufficient resource allocation during peak periods and energy waste during off-peak periods.

[0168] Furthermore, to achieve scheduling optimization, the core elements of the reinforcement learning model are designed:

[0169] State: system state vector s t =[H(t+k),D(t)], combining future traffic prediction and real-time elevator status to comprehensively describe the current operating environment of the system.

[0187] Dynamic weight adjustment: Dynamically adjust the weight coefficient in the reward function for different time periods (such as peak periods and trough periods) to adapt to real-time needs.

[0188] Furthermore, in the decision-making process, H(t+k) is combined to design dynamic partitioning and priority scheduling strategies:

[0189] Dynamic zoning: Based on the predicted traffic distribution H(t+k), the service area of ​​the elevator is dynamically adjusted, and high-traffic floors are preferentially assigned to dedicated elevators, reducing the no-load energy consumption of cross-zone operation.

[0190] Priority scheduling: Within a partition, high-traffic floors are given higher priority to ensure that requests from hot floors are responded to quickly. i Calculated as:

[0191] P i =H i (t+k)·ρ i

[0192] Among them, ρ i It is the inverse proportional weight of the historical response delay. The longer the delay, the higher the priority.

[0193] Furthermore, after the reinforcement learning model is trained, it generates a scheduling strategy in real time. t ,include:

[0194] Target floor path planning for each elevator ensures optimal allocation.

[0195] Dynamic start-stop control determines whether the elevator is enabled or disabled based on predictions and current status to save energy.

[0196] Furthermore, the output is: the scheduling optimization strategy A(t), including the target floor allocation and dynamic operation path of the elevator.

[0197] Function: The optimization strategy significantly reduces waiting time, improves the response efficiency of hotspot floors, and reduces the energy consumption of no-load operation during off-peak periods, providing a direct decision-making basis for step S4 (energy consumption optimization and execution control).

[0198] Through the above design, this step introduces innovative priority weights and dynamic partitioning mechanisms, and combines them with a reinforcement learning framework to optimize the multi-objective scheduling strategy to accurately respond to the peak and valley operation challenges of building elevators.

[0199] S4. Based on the scheduling strategy and the characteristic timing matrix and combined with the energy consumption state matrix, an energy consumption optimized execution control strategy is formulated to minimize the global energy consumption and generate optimized control instructions.

[0200] Specifically, this step receives the scheduling strategy A(t) generated in step 3 and the dynamic characteristic matrix D(t) in step 1, and combines it with the energy consumption state matrix E(t) to formulate an energy consumption optimized execution control strategy:

[0201] A(t): The optimized scheduling strategy, including the target floor and path planning of each elevator, as well as the start and stop status.

[0229] Through the above design, this step further optimizes energy consumption based on the scheduling strategy, combines dynamic start-stop and brake energy recovery mechanisms, reduces no-load energy consumption and fully utilizes energy recovery resources.

[0239] Among them, WaitTime represents the average waiting time of all passengers in the system; Energy represents the total energy consumption, including the energy consumption of elevator operation and no-load operation; Imbalance represents the load balance difference between elevators, calculated as the load standard deviation; Priority represents the priority response degree of high-traffic floors, encouraging requests from hot floors to be processed in a timely manner; α, β, γ, and δ represent weight coefficients, which control the importance of each goal.
