Elevator Passenger In-Cabin Behaviour - A Study on Smart-Elevator Platform.

Modern elevators became into wide use some 150 years ago. With the advancement of technology, the main task of elevators has remained the same – transport people and goods in between floors – yet elevators have become more sophisticated with a trend towards smart elevators. Have you ever wondered why some people always stand in the same place, or what is your favourite sport to stand in an elevator? In this study, we use an existing smart elevator platform to explore passengers’ in-cabin behaviour while travelling from one floor to another as a part of human behavioural patterns. For this, we establish a location analysis model, evaluation method, and analyse real elevator passengers’ data. We show that while travelling alone, passengers tend to choose their favourite position inside the cabin.
