• Likewise, TK Elevator’s AGILE Destination Selection Control
(DSC) improves system efficiency and passenger experience
by effectively shortening wait and travel times. Compared
to conventional elevator control systems, the AGILE DSC
increases passenger handling capacity by up to 30%,
minimizes passengers’ travel times to their destination and
reduces crowding in lift lobbies. DSC also allows for much
more flexibility in elevator grouping, lift core layouts and overall
building design.
