Abstract
The invention concerns a method and a software program for determining the position of an elevator car moved in an elevator shaft, wherein an acceleration is measured and combined with measured open/closed states of the car door. The open-states of the door are used to identify floor-levels and a moving run sequence, wherein the car position estimate is then compared with allocated floor-levels from which the destination floor-level is calculated to extract the exact position of the car within the elevator shaft.
