Elevator system comprising an elevator car tracking system

An elevator system (2) comprising:

• at least one elevator car (6) configured for traveling along at least one guide member (14) that extends in a hoistway (4) between a plurality of landings (8);
• and
• an elevator car tracking system configured for determining and tracking the position of the at least one elevator car (6) in the hoistway (4);
• the elevator car tracking system comprising:
• a first position detection system configured for detecting the position of the at least one elevator car (6) with a first accuracy, wherein the first position detection system is in particular configured for detecting the position of the at least one elevator car (6) in the hoistway (4);
• and
• a second position detection system configured for detecting the position of the at least one elevator car (6) with a second accuracy that is more accurate than the first accuracy when a reference point (R) that is defined at the at least one elevator car (6) is located in a fine tracking zone (50) that is defined in a vicinity of at least one of the landings (8)
• wherein the first position detection system is configured for detecting the position of the at least one elevator car (6) at least when the reference point (R) defined at the at least one elevator car (6) is not located in a fine tracking zone (50).
