Automated or smart elevators make use of artificial intelligence (AI) to enable vertical transportation of commodities and passengers. Smart or connected elevators are increasingly being used in buildings such as hotels, residences, arenas, hospitals, sports facilities, offices and airports among others. These are designed so as to minimize overall energy consumption and manage passenger traffic efficiently within a building. Smart elevators make use of automation technology and minimize waiting time by efficient traffic management in commercial, residential and various other buildings. Technologies incorporated in these units include biometrics, destination access and dispatching control systems, digital security control system and touch screen control among others. However, substantial initial costs of installation for smart elevators limit their use worldwide. Battery backup, alarm, door interlocks, leveling device, brake system with speed sensor, evacuation latch and fire and earthquake emergency return and many more are all a part of the elevator control system. With the advancement and innovation of technology and changing building infrastructure these control systems are becoming all the more versatile in order to securely manage building traffic.
