  • Publication number: 20160318733
    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: 9181066
    Abstract: A passenger conveyor comprising an endless conveyor track, a power source configured to supply power to said endless conveyor track, an entrance allowing a passage to the conveyor track, an exit allowing a passage away from the conveyor track, and a balustrade beside the conveyor track. Guide elements are positioned at the entrance/exit on a floor at proximity of an end of the balustrade. The guide elements are laterally elongated, and are configured to guide rolling or moving objects to/from the conveyor without contacting or being obstructed by the balustrade. The guide elements include a source of electromagnetic waves which radiate the electromagnetic waves to an entrance/exit zone of the passenger conveyor.
