    Abstract: A method of generating an elevator call using a mobile device including: detecting a first advertisement emitted by a first beacon, the first beacon being located at a first location and the first beacon is configured to emit the first advertisement a first selected range away from the first beacon; determining that an individual will be boarding an elevator system based on at least the first location of the first beacon; and transmitting the elevator call to a dispatcher of the elevator system based on determining that the individual will be boarding the elevator system or authorizing a previously placed elevator call to the dispatcher based on determining that the individual will be boarding the elevator system.

    Abstract: An aspect includes a system with a communication interface configured to receive a mobile device location indicator at a first location and a second location. The system also includes a memory system and a processing system configured to perform operations. The operations include detecting a mobile device at the first location and observing a current state of one or more conditions present during detection of the mobile device. A travel prediction of the mobile device between the first location and the second location is determined based on a travel history of the mobile device and the current state of the one or more conditions. A command is output to a dispatching system based on detection of the mobile device at the first location and the travel prediction of the mobile device to align with a predicted arrival of the mobile device at the second location.

    Abstract: An illustrative example embodiment of an elevator system includes a cab configured to accommodate at least one passenger or item inside the cab. A motorized module includes a base, a connector supported on the base and at least one drive member supported on the base. The connector is configured to selectively establish a releasable connection between the motorized module and the cab. The drive member is configured to engage a vertical surface, climb along the vertical surface to selectively cause vertical movement of the base, and selectively prevent movement of the base when the drive member remains in a selected position relative to the vertical surface. At least one motor is associated with the drive member to selectively cause the drive member to climb along the vertical surface. The motorized module is vertically movable independent of the cab when the motorized module is released from the cab.
