The available intelligent elevator control sys­tems are based on advanced technologies, such as realtime operating system, fuzzy logic and neural networks. Our controls can support up to ten elevator groups and up to 96 floors and dispatching services, which significantly improves the accuracy of group control allocation, reduces waiting time, respondes to requirements of passengers in the shortest period of time and therefore is suitable for different architectural layouts and designs. With top­of­the­art VOLKSLIFT also provides destination control systems which increase the capacity of the elevator groups by 15–30 %, depending on the traffic situation.
