Abstract

The rapid urbanization and vertical expansion of cities have led to a surge in the construction of high-rise buildings, creating a growing demand for elevator systems that are not only fast but also energy efficient. As population density in metropolitan areas increases, the pressure on vertical transportation systems intensifies, highlighting the need for solutions that can handle high passenger traffic without compromising performance or sustainability. This study presents the development of a fast and power-efficient elevator system designed to meet the dual challenges of minimizing travel time and reducing energy consumption in modern buildings. The proposed system incorporates advanced scheduling algorithms, such as the nearest neighbor algorithm (NNA), to optimize elevator path planning and reduce idle movement. Additionally, the integration of intelligent sensors and load detection mechanisms allows the system to dynamically adjust operations based on real-time demand, ensuring efficient energy usage. Regenerative braking technology and power-saving drive units further enhance the system’s overall energy performance. The system is designed not only to improve the speed and efficiency of passenger movement but also to contribute to long-term energy conservation goals. Experimental simulations and comparative analysis with traditional elevator scheduling methods demonstrate significant improvements in both response time and energy usage. Additionally, the system employs a microcontroller-based control unit to optimize acceleration, deceleration, and door operations, thereby minimizing idle energy loss. Simulation and experimental analyses demonstrate that the improved system achieves significant reductions in power consumption compared to conventional models, along with enhanced response time and smoother ride quality. The results indicate that this approach offers a sustainable and cost-effective solution for next-generation vertical transportation systems, contributing to overall building energy efficiency and operational performance.
