Abstract: Based on the artificial immune algorithm‚a novel calculation approach of the dynamic zoning during the elevator peak-traffic was proposed．The theory of the artificial immune system was described‚the dynamic zoning model of elevator traffic was clearly outlined‚and the artificial immune algorithm for the model was then designed．This algorithm has the advantage of fast convergence and is utilized to quickly locate the optimal or sub-optimal zone of elevator traffic‚which is helpful to improve the rea- l time capability of the dynamic zoning．Simulation results indi -cate the practicability of the proposed algorithm．

Key words: artificial immune algorithm, dynamic zoning, elevator
