An elevator safety system for an elevator system including: a position reference system configured for determining a current position of an elevator car within the elevator system; at least one brake configured to bring the elevator car to a safe stop; a controller configured to activate the at least one brake; the controller configured to: receive data from the position reference system; calculate a current acceleration from the current position of the elevator car; compare the current acceleration to a predetermined acceleration threshold; and activate the at least one brake when the current acceleration exceeds the predetermined acceleration threshold.

This invention is directed to a self-propelled elevator system having multiple motors or one motor, and methods for synchronizing said multiple motors. This invention is also directed to an elevator brake system to be used in said self-propelled elevator system or other types of elevators to increase their level of safety.

A method of avoiding unnecessary safety brake actuation in an elevator system. The method includes determining whether a true overspeed or overacceleration condition of an elevator car is present. The method also includes activating the electronic safety actuator if a true overspeed or overacceleration condition of the elevator car.

Elevator systems are provided. The elevator systems include a traveling component movable along a guide rail within an elevator shaft, the traveling component comprising a roller guide moveably engageable with the guide rail and an overspeed safety system. The overspeed safety system includes an actuator module operably coupled to the roller guide and a safety brake operably connected to the actuator module by a connecting link, wherein a safety brake element of the safety brake is operable to engage with the guide rail to stop movement of the traveling component.

A lift operation safety analysis system with a controller arranged to: receive operation data of a lift; and process the operation data using an artificial intelligence based processing model to determine presence or otherwise of potential fault condition of the lift. The operation data processing system may be further operably connected with a database for storing data at the database and/or retrieving data from the database.

A passenger transport system sensor network has a master unit, a signal-transferring apparatus, and a plurality of sensor nodes each having at least one sensor sensing a physical measurement variable and transferring the sensed variable to the master unit via the signal-transferring apparatus. A sensor-identifying module in the master unit determines the identity of the sensors from information, stored in a database, of: a first information type about reference measurement results to be typically provided by a particular sensor under already known conditions; a second information type about the identity of a sensor node containing the particular sensor, the sensor node having a plurality of different sensors or a plurality of identical sensors in different configurations; and/or a third information type about a configuration of a sensor node holding the particular sensor, which configuration was defined in advance. Sensor identities and installation locations can be determined in an automated manner.
