    摘要: A method and an apparatus for allocating an elevator of an elevator system are described. In the solution, image data associated with an area associated with a plurality of elevators is obtained. An automated guided vehicle is detected based on the image data. Parameter data associated with the automated guided vehicle is determined based on the image data. Information indicating a destination floor for the automated guided vehicle is obtained and an elevator car is allocated for the automated guided vehicle by taking into account at least the parameter data and the destination floor. Information identifying the allocated elevator car is caused to be transmitted to the automated guided vehicle.

    摘要: In a communication system of a transport system including an elevator, an escalator or a moving walk, a control unit may be configured to control data transmission between at least one uplink communication interface and a plurality of downlink communication interfaces of a networking node. The control unit may be configured to obtain an event necessitating data transmission control between the at least one uplink communication interface and the plurality of downlink communication interfaces. The control unit may be configured to reduce the amount of data transmitted between at least one uplink communication interface and at least one of the plurality of downlink communication interfaces based on the event.
