 In order to improve the efficiency of the vertical transportation system effectively in limited space, multiple elevator cars are installed in a single elevator shaft, which is called "one shaft, multi-cars" elevator or multi-car elevator, which is the best choice to raise the transportation efficiency and solve the congestion in the vertical traffic. For the multi-car elevator scheduling, this paper puts forward a multi-car elevator scheduling method using dynamic zoning based on fast region-based convolutional network (Fast R-CNN). Firstly, fast R-CNN model is used to detect the number of people in the front of the hall and in the car; Then, elevators are reasonably dispatched according to the detection results; Finally, a zone is allocated to a car according to the assignment of calling to the car. The experimental results show that the proposed method is applicable to all kinds of elevator traffic patterns, and has higher operation efficiency and flexibility.
