A non trivial elevator control system in a train station by reinforcement learning
Today's urban life is out of imagination without the presence of elevators and the elevator controller algorithm has been well studied by different techniques including reinforcement learning [1]. A glance over the references gave the impression that the majority of studies has focused on elevators installed in high-rise buildings while those in train stations are barely discussed. Elevators in train stations, however, deserve their own attention because of their obvious difference from systems in buildings. A good example is the Gare de Lyon in Paris, a station with 2 underground floors on which you find 2 different train lines' platforms respectively. From my personal experience, it usually takes quite a while to get to floor -2 from floor -1 for a train change with my baby stroller by elevator.
