Guidelines

A circulating multi-car elevator is a vertical transportation system similar to a paternoster but a car has to stop in a floor to load or unload passengers. The aim of the thesis is to implement a simulator and some optimization algorithms of a circulating multi-car elevator system. For the optimization, a method of artificial intelligence will be used, for example a genetic algorithm.
