Smart elevator system with dynamic occupancy limit

A smart elevator system with a dynamic occupancy limit stored in memory and a weight-based maximum occupancy, wherein the dynamic occupancy limit is substantially less than the weight-based maximum occupancy, the system comprising:

• an elevator control device configured to:
• retrieve the dynamic occupancy limit from memory;
• detect a number of occupants in the elevator;
• determine an available occupancy based on the number of occupants in the elevator and the dynamic occupancy limit;
• detect a number of passengers waiting for the elevator at the current floor;
• and
• initiate a queueing process when the number of passengers at the current floor is greater than the available occupancy;
• wherein the elevator control device is configured to initiate the queueing process by sending messages to passengers waiting at the current floor;
• wherein the elevator control device is configured to send messages to passengers waiting at the current floor by sending a first message to a mobile device of a first passenger waiting at the current floor and sending a second message to a mobile device of a second passenger waiting at the current floor, wherein the first message is substantially different from the second message.
