Elevator system comprising a passenger detection system

Method of indicating at at least one landing (8) of an elevator system (2) that at least one passenger (20) is present in an elevator car (6) of the elevator system (2), wherein the method includes:

• detecting the presence of the at least one passenger (20) in the elevator car (6) using an elevator car passenger detector (22) that is located in the elevator car (6);
• transmitting a detection signal indicating the presence of the at least one passenger (20) in the elevator car (6) from the elevator car passenger detector (22) to at least one landing indicator device (24) located at the at least one landing (8);
• and
• the at least one landing indicator device (24) indicating that at least one passenger (20) is present in the elevator car (6) in response to receiving the detection signal from the at least one elevator car passenger detector (22).
