Abstract
System for controlling the elevators in an elevator system, which elevator system comprises a number of elevators (1A . . . 1H). The system comprises first sensor means (2, 2A . . . 2H), which are arranged in the waiting area of each elevator (1A . . . 1H) on each floor (F, F1, F2, F3 . . . Fn), which sensor means (2, 2A . . . 2H) are fitted to give information about the presence and number of passengers waiting for an elevator at least in the waiting area in question; means for controlling the elevators, which means are fitted to receive information from the sensor means (2, 2A . . . 2H) about the presence and number of passengers waiting for an elevator and to control the movement of the elevators of the elevator system utilizing the information received from the sensor means.

12. System for controlling elevators in an elevator system, which elevator system comprises a number of elevators (1A . . . 1H), the system for controlling elevators comprises sensor means adapted to give information about the number of passengers waiting for an elevator, and means for controlling elevators adapted to control the movement of the elevators of the elevator system, characterized in that the system comprises first sensor means (2, 2A . . . 2H), which are arranged in the waiting area of each elevator (1A . . . 1H) on each floor (F, F1, F2, F3 . . . Fn), which sensor means (2, 2A . . . 2H) are fitted to give information about the presence and number of passengers waiting for an elevator at least in the waiting area in question;
- and means for controlling the elevators, which means are fitted to receive information from the first sensor means (2, 2A . . . 2H) about the presence and number of passengers waiting for an elevator on each floor and to control the movement of the elevators (1A . . . 1H) of the elevator system utilizing the information received from the sensor means (2, 2A . . . 2H), and that the first sensor means (2, 2A . . . 2H) are planar sensors that operate capacitively.
