An access control system includes: at least one gate device and a control unit. The control unit is configured to: control the at least one gate device to operate in a first operation mode, in which the gate device is arranged to allow access for the users via the gate device only from a first access direction, detect that a traffic flow of the users meets a predefined capacity limit, and control at least one gate device to change to operate in a second operation mode, in which the gate device is arranged to allow access for the users via the gate device from the first access direction and from the second access direction. The invention relates also to a method for controlling an access control system.

An arrangement for the call apparatus and display apparatus of an elevator has a body part which includes at least call buttons and other actuators, such as apertures for the display elements. The body part is essentially universal such that the number, size, shape and placement location of the apertures of the body part are arranged to be suited for the use of as many display variations and/or call button variations as possible, and in that an essentially thin light-attenuating film-like layer is disposed in front of the body part, which layer is fitted to allow light produced by the display elements through, but covers the apertures and other features in the body part.
