1. A method of operating an elevator car, comprising:
receiving one or more load measurements of the elevator car during a plurality of predefined periods when the elevator car is operational;
determining a maximum load of the elevator car that corresponds to each of the plurality of predefined periods from the one or more load measurements received during each of the plurality of predefined periods;
generating a modified load setting for the elevator car for each of the plurality of predefined periods based on the maximum load determined for the elevator car during each of the plurality of predefined periods; and
replacing a load setting of the elevator car during an occurrence of at least one of the plurality of predefined periods with the modified load setting generated for the at least one predefined period, wherein the modified load setting replaces the load setting for a duration of the at least one predefined period such that the elevator car is operated in accordance with the modified load setting generated for the duration of the at least one predefined period until completion of the at least one predefined period.
