    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to sensor fusion for passenger conveyance control. A fusion based passenger tracking system (270) includes one or more 2D/3D sensors (284) for capturing 2D/3D data; one or more security sensors (280) for capturing security data; and a processing module in communication with the one or more 2D/3D sensors (284) to receive the 2D/3D data, and the one or more security sensors (280) to receive the security data, the processing module using the 2D/3D data and the security data to calculate passenger data to generate a passenger tracking list that tracks each individual passenger in the passenger data.

    Abstract: A system (100) includes a centralized controller (102) configured to coordinate movement of a plurality of elevator cars (14A-14C) in a multicar hoistway. The system also includes a plurality of car controllers (104A-104C) configured to communicate with the centralized controller (102) through a plurality of centralized control flows, establish two or more car-to-car control flows between at least two of the car controllers, and exchange an elevator car status between at least two of the car controllers. Movement of at least two of the elevator cars (14A-14C) in the multicar hoistway is controlled based on the elevator car status and one or more commands received through at least one of the centralized control flows.

    Abstract: A method (400) of operating a shuttle elevator group including: detecting an arrival of an elevator car at a landing (404); determining a time since a previous elevator car departed the landing (406); determining a fullness percentage of the elevator car (410); determining an estimated time until a next elevator car arrives at the landing (412); and determining when the elevator car departs the landing based upon at least one of the fullness percentage of the elevator car, the time since the previous elevator car departed the landing, and the estimated time until the next elevator car arrives at the landing (414).

    Abstract: An illustrative example embodiment of an elevator system (20) includes a destination entry device (22) configured to allow a passenger to indicate an intended destination prior to entering an elevator car (24, 26, 28) and at least one detector (32, 36, 38) configured to detect a proximity between the passenger and at least one other individual that has not indicated an intended destination. A controller (30) is configured to determine whether the detected proximity between the passenger and the at least one other individual satisfies at least one criterion indicating that the at least one other individual likely is associated with the passenger, will board an elevator car (24, 26, 28) with the passenger, and will travel to the intended destination with the passenger. The controller (30) is configured to assign an elevator car (24, 26, 28) to carry the passenger and the at least one other individual to the intended destination when the detected proximity satisfies the at least one criterion.

    Abstract: An elevator system (2) comprises at least one elevator car (6) configured for traveling along a hoistway (4) between a plurality of landing areas (8a, 8b, 8c) located at different floors (13a, 13b, 13c). A method of controlling movement of at least one elevator car (6) in the elevator system (2) comprises receiving on at least a subset of the floors (13a, 13b, 13c) from a mobile device (24a-24e) a radio signal representative of the number of potential passengers (22) on the respective floor (13a, 13b, 13c), and controlling movement of the elevator car (6) based on the received radio signals.

    Abstract: An elevator system (10) is provided and includes a sensor assembly (14) and a controller (15). The sensor assembly (14) is disposable in or proximate to an elevator lobby (17) and is configured to deduce an intent of an individual in the elevator lobby to board one of one or more elevators and to issue a call signal in response to deducing the intent of the individual to board the one of the elevators. The controller (15) is configured to receive the call signal issued by the sensor assembly (14) and to assign one or more of the elevators to serve the call signal at the elevator lobby (17).
