Abstract: An illustrative example elevator system includes at least one elevator car that is moveable along a hoistway. An elevator controller is configured to respond to a communication from a portable device indicating a desire for the at least one elevator car to be placed in a maintenance mode and indicating a location of desired hoistway access. The controller automatically moves the elevator car to a determined positon based on the communication. That position corresponds to the location of the desired hoistway access. The controller performs at least one automated procedure to place the elevator car in the maintenance mode. The controller provides an indication to the portable device that the elevator car is in the determined position and that the automated procedure has been completed.

Abstract: A system to determine a location of a signal emitting device is provided. First, second, and third data is received from at least one movable communication device. Each of the first, second, and third data include a unique identifier of the signal emitting device, a signal strength of a signal received by the at least one movable communication device from the signal emitting device, and a location of the at least one movable communication device when it received the signal. Each of the first, second, and third data include different locations of the at least one movable communication device. A location of the signal emitting device is computed based at least in part on the received first, second, and third data.

Abstract: A method for monitoring thresholds for performance attributes in an elevator system is provided. Aspects includes collecting, by a sensor affixed to an elevator car, sensor data associated with the elevator system wherein the sensor data comprises one or more performance attribute values for a set of performance attributes of the elevator system. Obtaining a threshold profile associated with the elevator system, wherein the threshold profile comprises thresholds for each performance attribute in the set of performance attributes of the elevator system. Comparing the one or more performance attribute values to corresponding thresholds for the set of performance attributes and transmitting an alert for any of the one or more performance attribute values exceeding the corresponding thresholds for the set of performance attributes.

Abstract: A transport system for a ropeless elevator system hoistway (11) is provided and includes a first lane (13, 15, 17) and a second lane (13, 15, 17). Also included is a parking area located proximate one of the first lane (13,15, 17) and the second lane (13, 15, 17). Further included is a transport assembly for moving an elevator car (14) between the parking area and one of the first and second lane (13, 15, 17). The transport assembly includes a transport structure (80) operatively coupled to a roof (82) of an elevator car (14). The transport assembly also includes a transport beam (84) engageable with the transport structure (80) to support the elevator car (14) by the roof (82) upon alignment of the transport structure (80) and the transport beam (84), the elevator car (14) guided into or out of the parking area by the transport beam (84).

Abstract: An illustrative example elevator system includes a first vertical pathway, a second vertical pathway, and a transfer space situated to allow movement between the vertical pathways. An elevator car is selectively moveable along the respective vertical pathways and through the transfer space. At least one blocker has a passage condition and a blocking condition. The passage condition allows the elevator car to move from one of the vertical pathways into the transfer space when the transfer space is configured to receive the elevator car from the one of the vertical pathways. The blocking condition prevents the elevator car from moving from the one of the vertical pathways into the transfer space when the transfer space is not configured to receive the elevator car from the one of the vertical pathways.

Abstract: A transportation system for a building includes a horizontal travel lane, a vertical travel lane, and a transportation cab configured for travel along the horizontal travel lane and vertical travel lane, a cab floor of the transportation cab orientable such that the cab floor is non perpendicular to a gravitational force acting on the transportation cab. A method of operating a transportation system for a building includes locating a transportation cab at a travel lane positioned at a building, accelerating the transportation cab in a non-vertical direction along the travel lane and orienting a cab floor of the transportation cab to be non-perpendicular to a gravitational force acting on the transportation cab during non-vertical acceleration of the transportation cab.
