A monitoring system for a conveyance system includes a pressure sensor mounted on a conveyance apparatus; an accelerometer mounted on the conveyance apparatus; and a controller arranged to: acquire accelerometer data by sampling the accelerometer; store the accelerometer data in a buffer; acquire pressure sensor data by sampling the pressure sensor; determine from the pressure sensor data that a start or stop of the conveyance apparatus has occurred; and upon said determination, analyse the accelerometer data to determine a first position within the accelerometer data, wherein the first position is a position at which the start or stop of the conveyance apparatus occurred. Both pressure and acceleration readings are combined to determine a point in time at which motion started or stopped. The pressure sensor is used first to determine a robust indication that the motion state has changed (started or stopped).

A method having a first step in which a radio signal transmitting unit transmits a radio signal carrying a piece of information corresponding to a first event which occurred to a signal comparison unit and, upon occurrence of the first event or a second event occurring simultaneously or virtually simultaneously with the first event, a wired signal transmitting unit transmits a wired signal carrying a piece of information corresponding to the first or second event to the signal comparison unit and a second step in which the signal comparison unit judges reliability of the radio signal based on the radio signal and the wired signal. In the second step, the signal comparison unit judges reliability of the radio signal based on the pieces of information respectively carried by the radio signal and the wired signal and a temporal difference between reception timings of the radio signal and the wired signal.

Provided is an elevator door control device capable of safely closing a door of an elevator when a power failure occurs and preventing an extra burden from being placed on a rescue worker. The elevator door control device according to the present invention includes a door dynamic braking control circuit (15) that performs, when a power failure occurs in a condition in which the door of the elevator is in an intermediate position, dynamic braking control of a door motor (2) until full close of the door is detected and deactivates the dynamic braking control when the full close of the door is detected.

Provided is an operation setting device for an elevator door device, which includes: a door type selection part that selects opening types of a car door; a speed index selection part that selects an index of an opening and closing speed set for the car door; and a processing part that executes setting processing of deriving operation setting information representative of a setting content related to an opening and closing operation of the door device, and outputting the operation setting information to a controller that controls the opening and closing operation of the door device. The processing part includes a speed pattern deriving part that derives speed pattern information on the basis of the opening type selected by the door type selection part and the index of the opening and closing speed selected by the speed index selection part, in which the speed pattern information is the operation setting information.

A pressure sensitive mat is provided. The pressure sensitive mat includes a nanocomposite film, a first conductive foil, an oxide layer interposed between a first side of the nanocomposite film and the first conductive foil, a second conductive foil and a nanotube film interposed between a second side of the nanocomposite film, which is opposite the first side, and the second conductive foil.

Provided are embodiments for method performing elevator condition-based maintenance using an in-car camera. The method includes monitoring one or more conditions of an elevator system, and analyzing image data obtained from monitoring one or more conditions of the elevator system. The method also includes validating the one or more conditions of the elevator system, and executing an action based on the validation of the one or more conditions. Also provided are embodiments for a system for implementing the method described herein.

Methods and systems to control an elevator door of an elevator car that can be moved between floors of a building. At least one registered destination call is evaluated, which makes it possible to plan the number of boarding or exiting passengers for each stopping floor. For each stopping floor, a corresponding door dwell time for the elevator door is determined to make it possible for a registered passenger to board or exit on a stopping floor. The number of passengers that exit the elevator car on the stopping floor and the number of passengers that board the elevator car on the stopping floor is also determined. The elevator door is closed regardless of the set door dwell time if the number of passengers boarding and exiting on the stopping floor determined by the sensor system corresponds to the number of boarding or exiting passengers planned for the stopping floor.

According to one embodiment, a user detection system includes a camera, a boundary detector, a user detector and a controller. The camera is installed in a peripheral region of a door, and captures a running region when opening or closing the door and a region near the door. The boundary detector detects a boundary between a first structure and a second structure in the region near the door based on an image captured by the camera. The user detector detects whether there is a user in the running region based on a result detected by the boundary detector. The controller controls an open/close operation of the door based on a result detected by the user detector.

A computer-implemented method includes executing a people transit system associated user application, the people transit associated user application enabling a use of multiple operation modes; obtaining a trigger event associated with the people transit system; obtaining profile information associated with a user using the people transit system associated user application; and allowing the use of a specific application mode among multiple application modes based on the trigger event and the profile information.
