    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 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: 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.
