Abstract
An illustrative example embodiment of an elevator system includes a plurality of elevator cars, a plurality of car identifiers, a plurality of location identifiers, and a controller. Each of the car identifiers is associated with one of the elevator cars and provides a unique identification to the associated elevator car. Each of the location identifiers is configured to be situated in a selected location of the elevator system and provides a unique identification to the selected location. The controller determines a location of each of the elevator cars based on at least one indication of the associated car identifier being at the location of a corresponding one of the location identifiers.
