ELEVATOR SYSTEM

摘要

An elevator system comprises a number of elevator shafts (13), each of which accommadates a shuttle elevator arranged to stop at floor levels called sky lobbies (8, 8a), and at least one second elevator shaft (14) accommodating local elevators. The elevator cars (22) of the local elevators have been arranged one above the other in the elevator shaft and stop during their travel at the sky lobby and at a number of floors between sky lobbies. In an up-peak traffic situation, the passenger traffic flow transported by each shuttle elevator is directed to only certain floors in the building in such manner that each shuttle elevator feeds passengers for transportation by only a given local elevator or given local elevators.
