Abstract: A method of providing a mobile car operating panel system includes establishing communication between a mobile device and a mobile wireless access point associated with a car operating panel within an elevator car. A user interface provided on the mobile device is operable to command the car operating panel through the mobile wireless access point. A proximity between the mobile device and the car operating panel is determined. A car call is registered to command a stop landing of the elevator car based on verifying the proximity of the mobile device to the car operating panel within a threshold distance and an input through the user interface on the mobile device indicating the stop landing.

Abstract: A method to communicate with a passenger in a car within a transportation system includes receiving an alarm signal from the car, and initiating a text communication session via a communication system associated with the car in response to the alarm signal.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a method to communicate with a passenger in a car within a transportation system includes receiving an alarm signal from the car, receiving at least one operation parameter from the car, analyzing the at least one operation parameter corresponding to the alarm signal from the car, determining an alarm condition in response to the at least one operation parameter and the alarm signal, and initiating a video session via a video system in response to the alarm signal.
