Earthquake control system for elevator and elevator system using predicted arrival hour

An elevator system comprising:

• an earthquake occurrence predicted hour calculating means for calculating a predicted hour when an earthquake wave arrives at a position of an elevator based on earthquake information delivered from a third party and position information registered beforehand where the elevator is installed;
• and
• an elevator control panel for controlling operation of an elevator car to stop at a safety floor when the elevator car is traveling toward the safety floor, a car call for the safety floor is registered. and a predicted time to stop the car at the safety floor is earlier than the predicted hour when the earthquake wave arrives at the position of the elevator.

An elevator system comprising:

• an earthquake occurrence predicted hour calculating section configured to calculate a predicted hour when an earthquake wave arrives at a position of an elevator based on earthquake information delivered from a third party and position information registered beforehand where the elevator is installed;
• and
• an elevator control panel configured to control operation of an elevator car to stop at a safety floor when the elevator car is traveling toward the safety floor, a car call for the safety floor is registered, and a predicted time to stop the car at the safety floor is earlier than the predicted hour when the earthquake wave arrives at the position of the elevator.
