Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a sway amount estimation system that can suppress a reduction in user convenience that would occur if the operation method is switched more than necessary. A sway amount estimation system () includes a sensing unit (), a judgment unit (), and an estimation unit (). The estimation unit () calculates an estimated value of the amount of sway of an elevator rope due to vibration caused by building sway based on the sway sensed by the sensing unit () and an estimation model incorporating the effect of the displacement amplification of the displacement amplifier (). The judgment unit () judges if the estimated value calculated by the estimation unit () is greater than a threshold for switching the operation method for the elevator apparatus ().
