Background

The Internet of Elevators project is an interesting concept which has a background in trying to determine the state of an elevator, whether or not it is prone to break down, or detecting mundane maintenance problems such as door failures etc. Elevators in general have a long service time and thus cannot constantly be updated with integrated monitoring tools. Creating an external measurement tool which can detect problems within the elevator and send information remotely can thus make it possible to monitor and detect problems with old as well as with new elevators without the need for advanced measurement tools to be built in.

Project Description

In this project, we developed a prototype to evaluate the status of elevators using an Android smartphone and visualise it on a remote web server.

Android App

The Android app calculates the elevator position, vibrations according to ISO 18 738 and door opening and closing.

Processing of all the sensors data is performed by the smartphone itself in real-time and the results are sent to the server at the end of every trip.
