To solve the conventional problem in that it takes much time to allocate a car from the input of a call since a car selected from all cars of an elevator is allocated for the call based on group scale after receiving an input of the call including information about the group scale.SOLUTION: A group management control device 3 includes: a number-of-persons calculation unit 33a for calculating the remaining allowable number of persons, which is a value obtained by subtracting the allocated number of persons that is the number of persons allocated to the car from a fixed capacity of a car or the allowable number of persons that is set based on the fixed capacity of the car for each car; a boarding candidate car allocation unit 33b for allocating a car whose remaining allowable number of persons is larger than the number of persons shown by a remaining allowable number button 12a to the remaining allowable number button 12a as a boarding candidate car; and a boarding car allocation unit 34a for determining one car among boarding candidate cars allocated to the selected remaining allowable number button 12a as a boarding car when the remaining allowable number button 12a is selected to allocate the boarding car.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】従来は、グループ規模の情報を含む呼びの入力を受けてから、グループ規模に基づきエレベーターの全号機の中から選択した号機を呼びに割り当てており、呼びの入力から号機を割り当てるまでに時間がかかっていた。【解決手段】群管理制御装置３は、号機ごとに、号機の定員人数、または、定員人数に基づき設定される許容人数から、号機に割り当て済みの人数である割当済み人数を減じた値である残り許容人数を算出する人数算出部３３ａと、残り許容人数ボタン１２ａに、残り許容人数ボタン１２ａが示す人数以上の残り許容人数である号機を、乗車候補号機として割り付ける乗車候補号機割付部３３ｂと、残り許容人数ボタン１２ａが選択された場合、選択された残り許容人数ボタン１２ａに割り付けられた乗車候補号機のうち一台の号機を乗車号機として決定し、乗車号機を割り当てる乗車号機割当部３４ａと、を備える。【選択図】図３
