Abstract: A ropeless elevator system (10) includes a plurality of elevator cars (14) configured to travel in a hoistway having at least one lane (13, 15, 17), a propulsion system (16, 18) to impart force to each elevator car of the plurality of elevator cars, and a controller (46). The controller is configured to operate in an in-group mode where the plurality of elevator cars perform service demands, and to selectively operate in an out-of-group mode where at least one selected elevator car of the plurality of elevator cars performs a predetermined task and is prevented from performing the in-group mode service demands.

Abstract: An elevator notice system for an elevator system includes at least one hoistway defined by a structure having a plurality of areas with each area having at least one gate and at least one car in each of the at least one hoistway. At least one of the at least one gate is associated with a respective hoistway. The elevator notice system includes a controller and a programmable display. The controller is configured to control the display and track the current location and scheduled destination of each of the at least one car in each of the at least one hoistway. The programmable display includes a car identification portion displaying a car identification type associated with a specific car of the at least one car, and is configured to display at least a next area destination associated with the specific car.

Abstract: A system and method for lobby crowd control dispatching in a multi-car ropeless lift (MCRL) system is provided. The method includes receiving, at a controller, a call request for a transport device in the lobby from a user using a destination device, generating, using a processor of the controller, a call assignment based on a crowd parameter, controlling, using the processor of the controller, the transport device based on the crowd parameter, and transmitting, from the controller, the call assignment to the user using the destination device. The system includes a transport device that arrives and departs from the lobby, a destination device that receives a call request from a user for the transport device in the lobby, and a controller that is communicatively connected to the transport device and the destination device.
