A method and system for controlling a movable door associated with a passenger compartment, the door moveable between an opened position and a closed position configured to provide access to, or egress from, the passenger compartment. The method includes monitoring a landing area of the elevator door with at least one sensor, and determining a level of urgency of an approaching passenger based on the information from the at least one sensor. If the level of urgency exceeds a predetermined threshold, modifying a closing of the elevator door based on the level of urgency. The method may also include modifying a closing speed of the elevator door if the level of urgency exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Elevator systems and methods are provided. The systems include an elevator car movable within an elevator shaft, the elevator car includes an elevator car door interlock device operable to open and close elevator car doors, a plurality of landing doors located at respective landings along the elevator shaft, wherein each landing door includes a landing door interlock device operable to open and close a respective landing door, wherein each landing door interlock device is engageable by the elevator car door interlock device to enable operation of the elevator car doors and the respective landing door simultaneously. An elevator component inspection system is configured with a detector located on the top of the elevator car and arranged to monitor the interlock devices, wherein the detector obtains inspection data associated with the elevator car door interlock device and the plurality of landing door interlock devices.

The present invention relates to a safety device for preventing a hand from being caught by controlling an operation of opening/closing a door while reducing impact when a person's hand is jammed in a gap between an elevator door and a doorframe.

A system including one or more processors, one or more non-transitory storage mediums, a data file, and executable instructions. The processor is configured to receive a door close signal from a door close selector and a door open signal from at least one of a door open selector and a door obstructed sensor. The data file is stored in the non-transitory storage medium and includes a door open time duration associated with at least one of the door open signal and the door close signal. The executable instructions are stored in the non-transitory storage medium and is executed by the processor. The executable instructions are configured to generate the door open time duration based on at least one of the door open signal and the door close signal. The processor is configured to output a door open command based, at least in-part, on the door open time duration.
