Among the various types of waiting line systems, the elevator servicing system is quite different from the usual queueing system in view of the service characteristics. For example, the FIFO discipline is not always valid depending upon the situation when the direction of first-come customer's is opposite of the operating elevator direction and at that time a later-arrived one has a luck to be served first. In this paper, a simulation model is constructed and tested by the sample data and the results have turned out to be fairly adequate. This model, therefore, will provide a good guide to anyone who is interested in the decision of optimal location selection of no-passenger elevator in high buildings whatsoever. This model is also available, with slight modification, to the problem of city bus dispatching or any other waiting line problems where the servicing equipments are moving.

The wire rope, one of the component of the elevator, is extremely important for the sage operation of the elevator. That is why the wire rope is replaced at a specific interval regradless of the operating conditions or the degree of damage to prevent the breakage of the wire rope. This is the waste of resources, causing economic and environmental loss. This paper has surveyed and analyzed and analyzed the status of replacing wire-rope by buildings that use elevators, in order to compare the replacement cycles of the wire rope under each operating conditions.

The elevator is extreme important due to the large size of the building and public facilities. In particular, it occurs bottleneck phenomenon in a elevator in case of using a theater. So, in this paper, we suggests technology of removing the traffics of visitors' movement and increase the efficiency of the use of elevator. Configuration of the proposed technique is divided parts of the processing unit, the movement route of the mobile cover to help viewers to create a route to collect sensor and the sensed data to detect state and a waiting elevator. This was the design and verification of technical performance and implementation.

Elevator power consists of power consumption in stand-by and in service. This paper designed a fuzzy controller saving stand-by power of elevators in a way that calculates the adequate number of elevators by the variable traffic volume of passenger and then powers off elevators being out of service. Also, the fuzzy controller was designed to minimize a increase of the average passenger's waiting time by the limited number of elevators in service. When the fuzzy controller designed in this paper was applied to the group elevator experimental device, The passenger's waiting time increased approximately 7.5%~9.5%, While the stand-by power saving is expected to be about 675KWh a day per unit and about 236.6KWh a year per unit.

The number of elevator installation increases every year about 15,000. The number of confine-disease of elevator increases every year and then sudden in, sudden stop, error of level indication, stand; those can bring to uneasiness of elevator passenger and malfunction related life accident is increasing. Therefore we researched elevator repair diary of elevator repairing company, APT management office and 119 life rescue for elevator confine-disease during 2004. 1. 1.${\sim}$12. 31. we analyzed the content and the time type and cause of the malfunction and fault for APT elevator. Form the result of 119 life rescue, only power reset is 24[%] and only power failure is 8.2[%] by cause of confine-disease. This paper will be used data of the analysis for mutual relation between Power Quality and malfunction and fault of elevator.

For the matter of elevator, one of the multi-use facilities for unspecified public, the JIS has re-established and reformed to apply to the environment in South Korea for the past 20 years. In the aspect of safety assurance, it was inevitable to suggest improved measures. The government, Ministry of Public Administration and Security has secured the safety by enhancing the safety management functions in the elevator inspection standards and expanding its safety device measures. Further, the international inspection standard has been introduced, which is about unifying inspection standard system into the international standard code. In March 14th 2012, the international standard (EN) has been amended and fully announced. Escalator and passenger conveyor among lift devices have several common danger factor that cause safety accident. First, the accident caused by decreased braking power of brake. Second, the accident caused by the rate difference between handrail and tread-board. Third, the accident caused by defects of contraflow preventing device or carelessness inspection. Fourth, the accident caused by wet tread-board or wet floor of platform which makes passenger slip and fall. As the improvements to prevent and reduce these negligent accidents, the inspection list to check and methods should be subdivided and applied for each accident likelihood cause for safety management enhancement and safety assurance of existing escalator and passenger conveyors. The escalators and passenger conveyors without safety devices in existence should be obliged to modify the part of the system or install additional safety device. With making these measures obligations, it requires to improve the system to be suitable for the international inspection standard and to have measures to prevent safety accidents. It also needs to arrange improvements for skid accident of tread-board by the external environment factors such as snow and rain.

The number of confine-disease for elevator increases every year and then sudden stop, error of level indication stand; those can bring to uneasiness of elevator passenger and malfunction accidents related life accident are increasing. So we researched power quality counterplan equipment(SPD, Filter, Reactor) at site elevator controller room and malfunctions of elevator movement. We could confirm installation of power quality counterplan equipment recently and unchanging the number of malfunction. This data will be used the analysis for mutual relation between Power Quality(Sag, Interruption, ESD, ect.) and malfunction of elevator movement by testing the elevator equipment with EN12016(2004) and IEC standard level.

Elevator stops emergently when power failures happen during operation. In that case, the passenger should wait with frightened in the car untill they are rescued by repair man or power resumes. This paper describes an automatic landing device for power-failure(ALP) that consists of UPS and battery charge control system. The excellence of the ALP operation is verified by experiments in elevator test tower.

Most of the elevator door controllers have been controlled by DC Motors as an actuator. Recently, The control system using AC induction motor and general purpose inverter has been applied to control of elevator door. But there are some difficulties in making use of this system, such as adjustment of door speed pattern, door open-close time, and security of passenger safety. In order to solve these problems, a special inverter has, been developed with an encoder feedback. From the result of field-test, we proved that a special inverter with encoder feedback device has come to considerable effect. Until now about 1,200 sets of these inverters are operated in Korea and about 100 sets are operated in South-east Asia.

The malfunction accidents such as kept within elevator, sudden rise, sudden stop, error of level indication which can bring about uneasiness of elevator passenger and be related with life accident are occurring. However, as there is not field recurrence for this portion and they are accidents that occur and then disappear, it is actually difficult to confirm the reason of accident. Therefore, we made an experiment for tolerance in three models which is being built recently according to EN12016(2004) standard and analyzed the movement characteristics of elevator to study the reason which can bring about confine and malfunction. Furthermore after supplementing measures for malfunction, Finally this paper will be used as reference to suggest methods for malfunction of elevator facility and the analysis for mutual relation between Power Quality and malfunction and fault of elevator.
