Abstract

The invention relates to a destination control system of an elevator system having at least one elevator group, wherein a destination call is input via at least one destination call input device to the destination control system to be allocated to at least one of the elevators of the elevator group to service the destination call. The destination call input device further includes an optional input for a desired operating time of a so called “pre-booked” destination call and the destination control system comprises a memory for pre-booked destination call data comprising the departure floor, the destination floor, a correlated operating time for the pre-booked destination call as well as a correlated identifier of the user having issued the pre-booked destination call, in which destination control system the pre-booked destination calls are allocated to the elevators of the elevator group with a higher priority than not pre-booked destination calls. Further, the destination control system has at least one identification reader arranged at least in the vicinity of the elevators to obtain an identifier input by the elevator user, and a pre-booked destination call is confirmed by the destination control system only after it has been checked that the identifier obtained by the identification reader corresponds to the identifier correlated to the pre-booked destination call. The invention rewards pre-booking of destination calls and leads thus to a better efficiency of the elevator system.
