• Enable destination based dispatching: Enables Destination Based Dispatching and
allows access to the DBD related parameters on the Kiosk Configuration and Hallway Con-
figuration tabs.
Car out of service announcement The car out of service message can be
announced at one of the following locations:
• Announce at hall fixture: Announce the car out of service message at the hall fixture.
• Announce at kiosk: Announce the car out of service message at a kiosk.
• Announcement location: Provide the Kiosk ID of the kiosk closest to that car so that
the announcement may be best heard by waiting passengers.
General
• Idle car assignment delay: Delay in assigning a DBD call to an idle car to allow more calls
to be assigned to the same car before the doors open.
• Coincidence call bonus: Controls the probability of one car being dispatched to pick up a
group of people leaving the same floor for different destinations. The higher the number
set, the more likely the dispatcher will group passengers from the same source floor.
• Maximum reopen time: The maximum amount of time that the doors will remain open (or
reopened) at a floor to allow assigned passengers to enter the car before departure.
• Minimize average wait time: Favors assignment of cars to minimize passenger wait time.
• Minimize average journey time: Favors assignment of cars to minimize passenger journey
time.
DBD floors Define (check) which floors have destination based dispatching devices. Non
selected floors will have traditional up/down push buttons.
Anti-nuisance protection The intention is to limit duplicate calls, e.g. multiple calls
placed from the same source (say floor 2) to the same destination (say floor 5). Once the num-
ber of calls from floor 2 to floor 5 reaches the number shown in the “Duplicate call limit” entry
box, no additional calls from floor 2 to floor 5 are registered, until the source floor (2) has been
serviced.
Priority service The Penthouse priority service option provides VIP type operation
without canceling existing assigned destination dispatch calls. At least two elevators must be in
service for hall calls for one elevator to be placed on priority service. Priority service is initiated
by placing a call from the lower priority floor to the upper priority floor or vice versa. When a
car is assigned to priority service, existing calls are not canceled, but no new calls other than
priority calls are assigned to that car until all priority calls have been completed.
• Enable penthouse priority service: Check to enable this option.
• Upper priority floor: Specifies the upper priority service floor.
• Lower priority floor: Specifies the lower priority service floor.
• Penthouse access from any floor: Allows penthouse call to be placed from the priority
floors and any other floor with the appropriate riser.
