Abstract

The invention relates to a method for measuring the traffic flow in a building having a people mover system, in which method the following succession of steps is performed:

at least two monitoring units with at least one sensor are temporarily installed in the vicinity of entrance- and/or exit area(s) of at least one people mover,each of the monitoring units is provided with a power supply for being operated as an independent unit,events caught by the sensor are associated with the current event time and with the location/position of the corresponding monitoring unit as correlated event/event time/event location data, which correlated event/event time/event location data is used to compute a traffic flow in the building. This data can be advantageously used in the call allocation of a new people mover system of said building.
