Abstract

An elevator system includes at least one elevator group control with a destination control system, at least one elevator group having elevators with a different destination range, destination operating panels at each landing comprising an input for issuing destination calls, car operating panels located in the elevators having an input for the input of destination calls, hall lanterns for each elevator indicating the moving direction of the corresponding elevator, a signaling device for each elevator indicating the arrival of an elevator at the landing, whereby the DCS controls the hall lantern means to indicate the moving direction of the elevators and wherein the DCS is further configured to activate the signaling device when elevators of the group(s) arrive at a landing. The DCS is configured to display after the issue of a destination call at the DOP a range identifier of the elevators serving the destination, which range identifier is indicative of the elevator's destination range, and to indicate the next arriving elevator by activation of its signaling device before its arrival at the landing, whereby the range identifier of each of the elevators of the elevator system is located in its vicinity. This elevator system offers sophisticated transport capacity even under conditions where the passengers are not familiar with the use of a destination call system, e.g. on cruise ships.
