Within some years new standards for elevators will developed by the European
Union. This papar is written to present an evaluation of todays elevator
technology, from which some problems in the elevator technology will follow.
It is important that these problems are taken into account by the Dutch
Instition of Elevator Technology and the Dutch government. Both will be heavily
involved in the formulation of the new European standards for elevators.
The overview of todays elevator technology in this paper consists of three
different parts: the historical development of elevator technology, a
classification of elevators according to technological aspects and a
classification of elevators according to operatinal aspects (traffic regulator
systems).
After this an evaluation is given in which some specific developments in todays
elevator technology are discussed. After the evaluation some conclusions are
presented.
