  • Publication number: 20090283369
    Abstract: Elevator service disruption information is communicated to passengers in a group elevator system (10). The group elevator system (10) includes a group of elevators (14a, 14b, 14c) operable to transport each of the passengers to one of a plurality of floors (L, F2, F3, F4, F5). A destination entry input device (30, 35) at each floor permits each passenger to enter destination input information. A dispatch controller (20) controls dispatching of the elevators (14a, 14b, 14c) based on the destination input information and determines when elevator service is disrupted. A communication device (30, 35), which is responsive to information from the dispatch controller (20) when elevator service is disrupted, provides to passengers at each floor notice of the service disruption and response instructions related to the elevator service disruption.
