Abstract: An electronic speed detection system is provided. The electronic speed detection system includes an accelerometer coupled to a moving object and a hybrid altimeter, which includes a first pressure sensor coupled to the moving object and a second pressure sensor. The electronic speed detection system also includes a controller comprising a memory and a processor. The memory storing computer program instructions executable by the processor to cause the electronic speed detection system to determine a normalized position based on first inputs received from the hybrid altimeter, or determine a corrected velocity position based on a second input received from the accelerometer and the normalized position.

Abstract: A safety net system is provided for an elevator system that includes an elevator pit and a ladder adjacent to an elevator pit wall for accessing the elevator pit. The safety net system includes a sensor and a processor. The sensor is arranged in a plane between the ladder and the elevator pit wall and is configured to perform sensing to sense an object disposed along the plane and to generate data corresponding to results of the sensing. The processor is operably coupled to the sensor and is configured to analyze the data and to determine whether the data is indicative of a person standing on the ladder based on analysis results.

Abstract: A method of monitoring a tie-down compensation of an elevator system includes positioning one or more sensor assemblies in a hoistway of the elevator system. The sensor assemblies are configured to monitor a position of the tie-down compensation in the hoistway. The tie-down compensation has a compensation member of the elevator system routed therethrough. A distance between a fixed location in the hoistway and the tie-down compensation is measured via the sensor assemblies, and the measured distance is compared to a threshold distance. One or more actions is taken based on a result of the comparison.

Abstract: According to an aspect, a method includes collecting a calibration set of vibration data for an elevator car at a plurality of landings in a hoistway. One or more characteristic signatures are determined at each of the landings based on the calibration set of vibration data. An analysis set of vibration data is collected for the elevator car. A position of the elevator car is identified in the hoistway based on comparing one or more features of the analysis set of vibration data to the one or more characteristic signatures. An indicator of the position of the elevator car in the hoistway is output.

Abstract: A monitoring device (20, 22), which is configured for monitoring movement of at least one component (6, 12) of an elevator system (2), includes an acceleration sensor (24) and a controller (26). The acceleration sensor (24) is configured for detecting accelerations (g, g′) of the at least one component (6, 12) and providing a corresponding acceleration signal (28, 30). The controller (26) is configured for determining peaks (28a, 28b, 30a, 30b) having positive or negative signs in the detected acceleration signal (28, 30); determining the signs of the detected peaks (28a, 28b, 30a, 30b); and determining that the moving direction of the at least one component (6, 12) has changed when two subsequent peaks (28a, 28b, 30a, 30b) of the acceleration signal (28, 30) having the same sign are detected.

Abstract: An elevator system includes a hoistway, an elevator car configured to travel in the hoistway, and a pit located at a bottom of the hoistway. A safety chain is configured to enable or disable motion of the elevator car, and a sensor assembly is configured to initiate opening the safety chain to disable motion of the elevator car upon detection of a person in a detection region of the sensor assembly in the hoistway. A test device is configured to test operation of the sensor assembly to detect malfunctioning and/or tampering of operation of the sensor assembly.
