i-Carelift-IoT Based Smart Elevator for a Healthcare Facility

Abstract

The goal of this research project was to create a novel algorithm that would increase energy efficiency in vertical transportation systems, with an emphasis on elevators, especially during periods of high traffic. We developed a comprehensive strategy for the problem by fusing the sophisticated elevator management system with the capabilities of a mobile application and cutting-edge Internet of Things (IoT) tools. This Internet of Things (IoT) devices drastically reduced the frequently infuriating wait times for elevators in addition to helping to reduce overcrowding problems. Our methodology's strategic coordination of passenger schedules with the implementation of ground- breaking elevator stopping protocols ensured the most efficient use of energy during elevator transitions. We provided three mathematical frameworks to explain these stopping processes. Our study looked at three different methods: a standard protocol that allowed elevators to stop at every floor, a creative odd-even layout where certain elevators only served odd or even floors, and a high-low configuration where elevators were designated to primarily serve either the upper or lower portions of a building. The combination of these tactics has positive ramifications for the development of energy-efficient vertical transportation systems in the future.
