An elevator installation with an elevator unit, which is connected with a power supply mains, is controllable by an elevator control with consideration of first control information based on local requirements of users. The elevator control receives from the power supply mains second control information containing status data for the power supply mains. The first and second control information is evaluated by the elevator control. The elevator control influences operation, which is determined by the first control information, of the elevator installation in dependence on the second control information so as to enable desired operation in terms of energy. A monitoring unit, which determines status data for the power supply mains and provides information for the consumers, is connectible with the power supply mains. The monitoring unit creates second control information for the elevator control in dependence on loading of the power supply mains.

An elevator operation quality detecting system and a detecting method. The system comprises an elevator operation quality detector; the elevator operation quality detector comprises a power supply having a charging function, a central processing module, and a data transmission module, a data storage module, a data acquisition module and a touch display module which are connected to the central processing module; the data acquisition module is connected to a signal sensing module; the signal sensing module comprises a tri-axial acceleration sensor and a tri-axial angular velocity gyroscope which are both connected to the data acquisition module; the data transmission module comprises a GPRS wireless transmission module and a USB interface circuit which are both connected to the central processing module; the central processing module is a DSP main controller.

A shuttle elevator loading system includes a plurality of shuttle elevators configured to service a building lobby. At least one sensor is configured to detect at least one passenger and at least one display unit is located at a display zone of the lobby. An elevator system controller is in signal communication with the at least one sensor and the at least one display unit. The elevator system controller determines a number of allocated passengers corresponding to each shuttle elevator and generates assignment information that directs a non-allocated passenger to an available shuttle elevator.
