Demand Up Peak - MCi iControl User Manual

5. If desired, you can set a (dynamic) percentage of the "in-use" cars to use for lobby peak
service at this lobby floor. (For example, this is useful if the group is split between two
lobbies and you want 50% of the available cars servicing one and 50% of the available
cars servicing the other.)
6. Select the direction of peak traffic from this lobby (Up or Down).
7. Select the call types available in the lobby.
8. Finally, you can choose to use only specific cars for lobby peak service and even set the
priority in which you want them used. (Higher position in list = use first.)

Demand Up Peak

Demand Up Peak is generally used during hours when traffic demand in the building is largely
in the up direction.
• Main exit floor: If much of the traffic is exiting at a particular floor (i.e., the main employer
in an office building), setting that floor number here will allow the system to assign calls so
that floor receives the best possible service.
• Non-peak hall call assignment penalty: Favors demand up peak calls by adding the num-
ber of seconds entered here to their time of registration, making them appear to have been
registered sooner and thus have more priority.
• Peak hall call types: If appropriate, allows you to select those risers on which up hall calls
will be identified as demand up peak calls.
Demand Down Peak
Demand Down Peak is generally used during hours when traffic demand in the building is
largely in the down direction.
• Main exit floor: If much of the traffic is exiting at a particular floor (i.e., the lobby), setting
that floor number here will allow the system to assign calls so that floor receives the best
possible service.
