Wireless Sensor Networks to Implement Smart Elevator System

Abstract: In modern day world, time has become a precious resource. Therefore, different strategies and techniques are constantly being employed in all fields of life to save every bit of time. Increasingly many of such applications involve wireless sensor networks. A highly potential system that can be made significantly more efficient using WSNs is an elevator system. There have been numerous attempts to improve the serving efficiency of the elevator system over the course of time. This paper proposes to utilize the elevator system in a more productive manner so that more number of people can be served in a lesser time. Hence, people will be able to spend this valuable time on other important and crucial matters rather than waiting for the elevator and wasting their time in vain. In the smart elevator systems, there are a number of wireless sensors that detect and transmit information on a number of people requesting elevator transport. The smart elevator system uses that information to select or determine one or more transport paths for one or more elevators to follow and, therefore, can be beneficial in enhancing efficient use of one or more elevators in an elevator system to service persons awaiting elevator service.
