Abstract: An elevator car travels in a lane (113, 115, 117) of an elevator shaft (111). A linear propulsion system imparts force to the car (214). The system includes a first part (116) mounted in the lane of the shaft and a second part (118) mounted to the elevator car configured to co-act with the first part to impart movement to the car. Car state sensors (360a-c) are disposed in the lane and determine a state space vector of the car within the lane. A sensed element (364) on the car is sensed by the plurality of car state sensors when the car is in proximity to the respective car state sensor. A control system (225) applies an electrical current to at least one of the first part and the second part and the plurality of car state sensors communicate with the control system and the linear propulsion system to provide state space vector data.

Abstract: A method of calibrating a beacon 250 for an elevator call system 200 including: determining when a calibrator mobile device 600 is located at a desired distance D1 away from the beacon on a specific landing 125a, the beacon being associated with one or more specific elevator systems 101a at a specific elevator bank 112a on the specific landing; detecting a wireless signal emitted by the beacon using a communication device 640 of the calibrator mobile device when the calibrator mobile device is located at the desired distance; and establishing the desired distance as a selected range of the beacon for locating a passenger device 400 for an elevator call 380 received from the passenger device. The elevator call system is configured to assign future elevator calls received from the passenger mobile device detected to be within the selected range of the beacon to the one or more specific elevator systems at the specific elevator bank on the specific landing.

Abstract: A method of calling an elevator car (103) for an elevator system (101) including: transmitting, using a first beacon (250a), a first poll wireless signal (292a), the first poll wireless signal (292a) having a first poll transmission speed; receiving, using the first beacon (250a), a first response wireless signal (294a) from a passenger mobile device (400) in response to the first poll wireless signal (292a), the first response wireless signal (294a) having a first response transmission speed; determining a first time of flight between transmission of the first poll wireless signal (292a) from the first beacon (250a) and receipt of the first response wireless signal (292a) at the first beacon (250a); calculating a first distance (D1) between the first beacon (250a) and the passenger mobile device (400) based on the first time of flight, the first poll transmission speed, and the first response transmission speed; and determining a location of the passenger mobile device (400) based on at least the first distance (D1).
