Abstract

The present invention provides a passenger conveyor system that can reliably stop the movement of the steps when a moving object descends from the steps onto the boarding / alighting platform at the exit. [Solution] In normal operation mode, the upper floor sensor 42 at the entrance detects a user and drives the steps 14. In inspection mode, when the lower floor sensor 44 at the exit detects the moving body 100, the movement of the steps 14 is stopped. After the steps 14 stops, the moving body 100 moves from the steps 14 to the boarding / alighting plate 18 at the exit using the moving motor 108.
