Method for aiding or managing a rescue operation

A elevator system, comprising at least one elevator having at least one car, driving in an elevator runway having several floors and an elevator control which gathers data of components of the elevator system and is configured to issue a failure signal in any case of a failure situation in the elevator system leading to a stop of the car between the floors,

• wherein the elevator system comprises a rescue managing circuit connected to the elevator control,
• wherein the elevator control is connected with at least one first sensor, informing of the presence of passengers in the car,
• whereby the rescue managing circuit is configured to be started either manually or dependent on a signal of the first sensor to read out following data from sensors and/or components of the elevator system:
• car position data;
• status data of the elevator system and of the elevator components;
• and
• functional data of the elevator system and/or of the elevator components obtained from the elevator control and/or from sensors connected to the elevator system,
• wherein the rescue managing circuit is configured to generate presentation data out of the car position, status and functional data, and to transfer the presentation data on a display connected to the rescue managing circuit and/or to the elevator control for preparing or performing a rescue drive to release the trapped passengers, and
• wherein the rescue managing circuit comprises an analysis unit having a reference memory with reference values representing the functional data of the elevator components in correlation to different types of failure situation in the elevator system and a comparator configured to compare the actual functional data of the elevator components with the stored reference values to derive failure situation data, which is generated as presentation data to be displayed on the display.
