Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0585135A1] A disembarkation indicator system and method for an elevator operates such that, when a hall button (4) for calling an elevator car to a particular floor is on the same floor as the floor which has been selected as a destination floor by a passenger within the elevator car, a disembarkation indicator (7) on the floor at which the hall button has been pressed is turned on for informing passengers waiting to board the elevator car that other passengers will be disembarking. Thus the flow of passenger traffic in and out of the elevator car may be smoothed and passenger convenience enhanced. <IMAGE>
