Traffic List Generation For Passenger Conveyance

Patent No. EP3075693 (titled "Traffic List Generation For Passenger Conveyance") was filed by Otis Elevator on Apr 4, 2016. The application was issued on Sep 12, 2018.

Patent Summary

A passenger tracking system comprises one or more sensors and a processing module configured to capture sensor data, track objects, and calculate associated passenger data. The system tracks passengers from an origin conveyance lobby, through a conveyance passenger enclosure, to a destination conveyance lobby to generate a passenger traffic list, maintaining a unique passenger identity during transitions between these areas. Sensors may include depth-sensing devices (e.g., LIDAR, ToF, SLAM) located in lobbies or enclosures. The processing module calculates object parameters (count, location, size, direction, acceleration, velocity, classification) using techniques like circle-Hough transforms for head detection, particle filtering, and optical flow. Tracking transitions utilize hand-over approaches and door open/close identification to facilitate elevator optimization, load estimation, and system diagnostics.
