Abstract
A method for aiding or managing a rescue operation in an elevator system includes at least one elevator having a car driving in an elevator runway having several floors, and an elevator control which gathers data of components of the elevator system and issues a failure signal in any case of failure situation in the elevator system leading to a stop of the car between the floors. In the method it is checked based on first sensor data, whether a person is trapped in the car, and based on the first data or manually a rescue managing process is started, using a rescue managing circuit connected to the elevator control. The rescue managing process includes a pre-rescue process in which following data is read from sensors and/or components of the elevator system: car position data, status data of the elevator system and of the elevator components, functional data of the elevator system and/or of the elevator components, which functional data is obtained from the elevator control and/or from sensors connected to the elevator system. From these data presentation data are generated and displayed on a display connected to the rescue managing circuit and/or to the elevator control in preparation of a manual or automatic rescue drive.
