A method of operating a building elevator system within a building having a plurality of floors is provided. The method including: controlling a building elevator system comprising a first elevator system having a first elevator car, a second elevator system having a second elevator car, and a third elevator system having a third elevator car, the first elevator car is configured to serve a plurality of floors within a first sector, the second elevator car is configured to serve a plurality of floors within a second sector, and the third elevator car is configured to serve a plurality of floors within the first sector and the second sector; detecting at least one of a time of day, an intensity of traffic between the first sector and the second sector, and an intensity of traffic within each sector; and assigning the third elevator car to the first sector or second sector.

An elevator system is provided. Aspects includes an elevator car, a sensor affixed to the elevator car, wherein the sensor is operated by a controller, the controller is configured to receive occupancy data associated with the elevator car. The occupancy data is analyzed to determine an occupancy of the elevator car. A first hall call is received and based at least in part on the occupancy and the first hall call, adjusting operation of the elevator car in the elevator system.

A method includes receiving, by a computing device comprising a processor, a request for at least one service associated with an elevator system from a mobile device over a cellular network. The request is validated based on a determined location of the mobile device. In response to the validating indicating that the request is approved, at least one resource associated with the at least one service is scheduled. The scheduling of the at least one resource includes placement of an elevator car call.

A passenger transport system includes a plurality of passenger transporters controlled by an transport system control, and further comprises at least one parameter memory configured to store at least one parameter or parameter set for the function of at least one transport system component, which transport system comprises a first wireless interface. The first interface may input data regarding at least one stored parameter or parameter set for the function of the related transport system component(s). The passenger transport system comprises mobile devices carried by users, which mobile devices may communicate wirelessly with the first interface, which communication is based on a short range transmission. The mobile devices may be prompted by the first interface to transmit data regarding the parameter or parameter set of the correlated transport system component. A passenger system interaction with a user to individual user requirements may be customized.

According to an example embodiment, an apparatus for scheduling elevator transport in an elevator system comprising one or more elevators is provided. The apparatus may be configured to: obtain, for a plurality of passengers, a respective transport request for elevator transport using said one or more elevators, the transport request comprising at least respective indications of an origin floor, a destination floor and a requested transport time window; derive, in dependence of said plurality of transport requests, a transport schedule that includes a respective transport allocation for each of said plurality of passengers, wherein a transport allocation for a passenger is derived in accordance with the requested transport time window indicated for the respective passenger, in view of transport allocations derived for other passengers and in view of a transport capacity of said one or more elevators and wherein the transport allocation for a passenger comprises at least a scheduled transport time for the respective passenger; and operate said one or more elevators in accordance with the derived transport schedule.

Methods and systems for controlling an elevator system including receiving, at a controller of the elevator system, an assisted service request, conveying an elevator car to a landing indicated by the assisted service request, the elevator car defining a passenger space, and activating at least one illuminated indication zone to indicate an assistance region within the passenger space.

An elevator boarding area notification system includes a first read means displaced for each elevator at a boarding area and reads out passenger identification information from a device carried by a passenger; storing a destination floor in relation to the identification information; assigning an elevator car for the destination floor; reading out the identification information at a closer position to the elevator than the first read means reads out; making an agreement decision where the identification information about which assignment was performed by the assigner is read out by a second read means corresponding to the same elevator car, and making a disagreement decision when read out by a second read means corresponding to a different elevator; and making no notification when the first determination means makes an agreement decision, and making a notification of a destination floor and elevator when the first determination means makes a disagreement decision.
