  • Patent number: 10618774
    Abstract: A method is provided for displaying information in an elevator arrangement including an elevator car that is movable, as controlled by an operating panel, between landing zones that communicate traffic to and from the elevator car through a doorway, and one or more light sources. In the method, visible objects are defined for guiding traffic of the elevator arrangement. A destination landing zone is obtained by the operating panel. A current occupancy and current destination landing zone of the elevator car are determined. The light sources are set to illuminate at least one of the defined visible objects on a remote surface on the basis of the determined current occupancy and current destination landing zone of the elevator car and the destination landing zone obtained by the operating panel.

  • Patent number: 10457525
    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.

  • Publication number: 20190193990
    Abstract: A passenger transport system includes a plurality of passenger transporters controlled by an 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.
