A control feature that assigns the highest dispatch priority to a specific car or call, used for VIP service, freight deliveries, or accessibility requirements.
Full Definition
Car priority call is a software-based feature in group elevator control systems that temporarily overrides standard dispatching logic to serve a designated car or hall call ahead of all others. Applications include VIP executive floors in hotels and corporate buildings, freight deliveries requiring dedicated car availability, and wheelchair users needing guaranteed service without waiting. Priority can be activated by a key switch, a building management system command, or an authorised access card. When priority mode is active, the selected car ignores lower-priority calls and proceeds directly to the designated floor, resuming normal group operation upon completion.
