Abstract

Elevator horizontal vibrations are actively controlled by retrieving data stored in memory indicative of the out-of-straightness of the elevator car's guide rails. The stored data is compiled during a learning run by summing the car's relative displacement with respect to the rail with a doubly integrated acceleration signal indicative of the car's deviation from true vertical.
