Sequence of levels in buildings to be evacuated by elevator systems

A system for evacuating persons from a building equipped with an elevator system, comprising:

• a plurality of fixed point markers each at a defined site, wherein each fixed point marker includes data identifying the fixed point marker;
• an elevator control through which a drive unit can be controlled in order to move an elevator car between floors (L1, L2, L3) of the building;
• and
• a safety system with a processor and a memory, wherein the safety system is communicatively coupled to the elevator control and wherein the memory stores instructions, which when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
• determine instantaneous positions of mobile devices in the building, wherein an instantaneous position of a mobile device is determined when the mobile device uses data received from a first fixed point marker to access a database in which the data is linked to a site of the first fixed point marker;
• determine a current traffic situation for each floor (L1, L2, L3) on the basis of the instantaneous positions of the mobile devices;
• and
• determine a sequence of the floors (L1, L2, L3) to be evacuated on the basis of the current traffic situation on the floors (L1, L2, L3).

A method for evacuating persons from a building having a plurality of floors (L1, L2, L3) and an elevator system, wherein a plurality of fixed point markers are arranged in the building at defined sites, wherein a mobile device is carried by a person, comprising:

• determining instantaneous positions of mobile devices in the building, wherein an instantaneous position of a mobile device is determined when the mobile device uses data transmitted by a first fixed point marker and received by the mobile device and is used to access a database in which the data is linked to a site of the first fixed point marker;
• determining a current traffic situation for each floor (L1, L2, L3) on the basis of the instantaneous positions of the mobile devices;
• and
• determining a sequence of the floors (L1, L2, L3) to be evacuated on the basis of the current traffic situation on the floors (L1, L2, L3).
