Access gate arrangement

Abstract

Managing passenger flows is an important issue in modern buildings. Particularly in high buildings, there will be a lot of people arriving and leaving typically through one access floor. When passenger flows are not managed and passengers are not instructed facilities of buildings are not in optimal use. People may be queueing for one elevator group when another elevator group is not used in fullcapacity. This can be improved by using an access gate arrangement where the controller of the access gate arrangement receives information from external systems in the building.

Description

Background technique [0001] Controlling the flow of people and traffic is important, but there are challenges to be solved. Typically, solutions are used in locations where large amounts of traffic are expected in order to control the movement of people or vehicles. [0002] One solution for indoor use is the destination control system for lifts. When a person arrives at the elevator lobby, he or she indicates the destination floor to the destination control system. The destination control system then assigns elevator runs and directs personnel to the correct elevator. Thus, the destination control system is able to gather people so that the elevator system is used as efficiently as possible. Furthermore, the destination control system knows or at least has a good assessment of the number of people traveling in the building. [0003] More often, for example, lifts are driven taking statistics, time and calendar into account. For example, in an office building, typically e...
