    Abstract: In an elevator system using multiple-deck elevator cars (130, 132), an elevator passenger (154) travels between a floor in a first zone (170) in a building (120) and a floor in a second zone (172) in the building (120). The passenger (154) travels first from one of the zones (170, 172) to a ground floor lobby (100, 101). Within a given amount of time after arriving at the lobby (100, 101), the identified passenger (154) is allowed to place an elevator call for an elevator traveling to the other zone (170, 172). Even if the call is for a destination floor not usually served from the particular ground floor lobby (100, 101), the passenger (154) is allowed to travel to the destination floor as requested.

    Abstract: An elevator system includes at least one elevator group control with a destination control system, at least one elevator group having elevators with a different destination range, destination operating panels at each landing comprising an input for issuing destination calls, car operating panels located in the elevators having an input for the input of destination calls, hall lanterns for each elevator indicating the moving direction of the corresponding elevator, a signaling device for each elevator indicating the arrival of an elevator at the landing, whereby the DCS controls the hall lantern means to indicate the moving direction of the elevators and wherein the DCS is further configured to activate the signaling device when elevators of the group(s) arrive at a landing. The DCS is configured to display after the issue of a destination call at the DOP a range identifier of the elevators serving the destination, which range identifier is indicative of the elevator's destination range, and to indicate the next arriving elevator by activation of its signaling device before its arrival at the landing, whereby the range identifier of each of the elevators of the elevator system is located in its vicinity. This elevator system offers sophisticated transport capacity even under conditions where the passengers are not familiar with the use of a destination call system, e.g. on cruise ships.

    Abstract: An elevator system includes at least one shuttle elevator and at least two local elevators, the elevator cars of which are arranged to travel in the same elevator hoistway such that they can serve at least one shared transfer floor of a transfer level. The control system of the elevator system receives destination calls given from a destination call appliance, forms a plurality of route alternatives and allocates a destination call to one or more elevators by selecting the best route alternative. When allocating a destination call, the control system takes into account that the elevator cars of the local elevators that travel in the same elevator hoistway cannot simultaneously be at a shared transfer floor in cases in which the route alternative includes a part-trip with a local elevator and a change of elevator at a shared transfer floor.
