An operational mode that maximises elevator dispatching efficiency during high-traffic periods such as morning up-peak and lunch-hour two-way traffic.
Full Definition
Peak service mode is a traffic management strategy in which the elevator control system recognises recurring high-demand patterns and adjusts dispatch algorithms accordingly. During up-peak, all cars are sent to the main terminal to load passengers efficiently. During down-peak, cars focus on upper floors. Two-way peak handles balanced bidirectional traffic. Modern group controllers detect peak onset automatically using real-time traffic analysis, switching modes without manual intervention. Performance metrics such as average waiting time, handling capacity, and interval are monitored to verify that the system meets design-intent traffic studies.
