Abstract: A standalone device is provided for use with a cab of a transportation system. The standalone device includes a mounting by which the standalone device is attachable to a cab body in an interior thereof, with the cab body being configured to travel between first and second locations and to accommodate at least one person in the interior while traveling. The standalone device further includes a sensor configured to sense a location of the cab body, a speaker and a processing board operably coupled to the sensor and the speaker. The processing board is configured to determine the location of the cab body from sensing results of the sensor and to control the speaker to audibilize a description of the location to the persons.

Abstract: A safety net system is provided for an elevator system including an elevator pit and multiple points of ingress to the elevator pit. The safety net system includes multiple sensors arranged in multiple planes encompassing the multiple points of ingress to perform sensing and to generate data corresponding to sensing results and a processor coupled to the multiple sensors to analyze whether the data indicates a person entering the elevator pit and to take an action based on results of the analysis.

Abstract: An elevator system, having: a car that operates normal and inspection modes; a sensor assembly; a safety chain; wherein while in the normal mode, the sensor assembly: monitors in a first sensing mode to detect whether an object is within a first area, and then monitors in a second sensing mode that is more sensitive than the first sensing mode to again detect the object; and upon determining that the object is potentially human, the safety chain is opened; and while in the inspection mode, the sensor assembly: bypasses the first sensing mode and monitors in the second sensing mode to detect whether the object is located in the first area; and upon detecting that the object is located in the first area, the safety chain is opened.
