We study the dynamical behavior of elevators in the morning peak traffic. We present a stochastic model of the elevators to take into account the interactions between elevators through passengers. The dynamics of the elevators is expressed in terms of a coupled nonlinear map with noises. The...

We study the dynamical phase transitions in the elevator traffic during the morning peak period. We apply the coupled nonlinear map model to the dynamics of M elevators. We investigate the effect of elevator's number M on the dynamical transition. It is shown that the dynamical transitions occur...

The nonlinear-map model is presented to investigate the dynamical behavior of an elevator. The dynamics of a busy elevator is described by a nonlinear map of the recurrence time. The fixed points of the map determine the recurrence times at a steady state. The distinct dynamical states appear by...

We study the dynamic behavior of an elevator induced by a periodic inflow of passengers. An elevator schedule is closely related to the dynamics. We present the modified circle map model for the dynamics of the elevator traffic. The motion of the elevator depends on both loading parameter and...
