    Abstract: The invention relates to a handrail system of a people mover, the handrail system comprising a circulating handrail and a safety system of a handrail inlet in a handrail housing. The safety system comprises a hatch provided around the handrail inlet in the handrail housing; and trigger means operationally connected between the hatch and the handrail housing to launch the hatch from a first position inwards into the handrail housing to a second position in response to a detection of an object touching the hatch or arriving to a safety area in front of the hatch. The handrail system further comprises a coupling for operatively connecting the circulating handrail and the safety system, the coupling being arranged to stop the handrail in response to the launch of the hatch inwards into the handrail housing or in response to a detection of an object by a sensor which the object is arriving to the safety area in front of the hatch. The invention further relates to method for preventing injuries in a handrail system of a people mover. The method comprises the steps of providing a hatch around a handrail inlet in a handrail housing of a circulating handrail; operationally connecting the hatch, the handrail housing and the handrail; launching the hatch from a first position inwards into the handrail housing to a second position in response to a detection of an object touching the hatch or arriving to a safety area in front of the hatch; and stopping the handrail in response to the launch of the hatch inwards into the handrail housing or in response to a detection of an object by a sensor which the object is arriving to the safety area in front of the hatch.

    Abstract: An access control system for an elevator system includes a gate device allowing access for users via the gate device, at least one imaging device for obtaining image data, at least one sensor device for obtaining sensor data, at least one indication device, and a control unit. The control unit is configured to: receive the image data from the at least one imaging device, detect a user approaching the gate device based on the received image data, obtain destination floor information including at least two destination floors, control the at least one indication device to generate a first visual indication including the at least two destination floors, and detect a destination floor selected by the user from among the at least two destination floors based on sensor data received from the at least one sensor device. An elevator system includes an access control system and to a method for controlling an access control system is disclosed.

    Abstract: An access control system includes: at least one gate device and a control unit. The control unit is configured to: control the at least one gate device to operate in a first operation mode, in which the gate device is arranged to allow access for the users via the gate device only from a first access direction, detect that a traffic flow of the users meets a predefined capacity limit, and control at least one gate device to change to operate in a second operation mode, in which the gate device is arranged to allow access for the users via the gate device from the first access direction and from the second access direction. The invention relates also to a method for controlling an access control system.

    Abstract: A passenger transport system includes a plurality of passenger transporters controlled by a 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.

    Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided a solution for enabling a visitor access in a building. An apparatus may be configured to a request to generate a visual token reading invitation for a visitor of a building, the visual token reading invitation being associated with a visual token. The apparatus may be configured to generate the visual token reading invitation in response to the request. The apparatus may be configured to obtain an indication of a reading action of the visual token provided at a location of the building. The apparatus may be configured to enable at least one access right in the building in response to obtaining the indication of the reading action of the visual token.
