    Abstract: Elevator systems and operating methods including an elevator operating panel having at least one button and an audio orientation system. The audio orientation system includes at least one speaker positioned proximate the elevator operating panel and a proximity sensor associated with an associated button and positioned proximate thereto, the proximity sensor arranged to generate a button detection zone around the associated button and detect a presence within the button detection zone. When a detection is made by the proximity sensor regarding a presence with the button detection zone, the audio system controls the at least one speaker to generate an audio orientation signal comprising button information that is related to the associated button within the button detection zone.

    Abstract: Elevator maintenance access systems and methods are provided. The elevator maintenance access systems include a frame defining a structural frame of an elevator car and a moveable element moveably coupled to the frame, wherein the moveable element is moveable relative to the frame between a first state and a second state, wherein when the moveable element is in the second state a maintenance gap is formed to enable access from an interior of the elevator car to an exterior of the elevator car.

    Abstract: Elevator systems having an elevator car having a first elevator car door and an audio orientation system. The audio orientation system includes an audio system controller, at least one first speaker positioned proximate the first elevator car door, and at least one second speaker positioned in the elevator car opposite the first elevator car door. When the first elevator car door opens, the audio system controller controls the at least one first speaker and the at least one second speaker such that an audio orientation output is generated at at least one of the speakers to indicate that the first elevator car door is open.
