A device that detects the number of passengers inside the elevator car to optimise dispatching and energy use.
Full Definition
Elevator occupancy sensors use infrared, ultrasonic, or time-of-flight technology to count and monitor passengers within the car. Data feeds into the building management system or dispatch algorithm, enabling load-based call assignment, preventing overloading, and reducing unnecessary journeys. Combined with AI dispatch, occupancy sensing contributes to significant energy savings and improved passenger flow in high-traffic buildings.
