In this study, we approach to elevator door system as one of solutions to increase the quality of service. It is obvious that door opening and closing time dominates passenger's journey time as elevator car's stop increases on journey. Therefore, higher door speed reduces passenger's journey time and makes greater comfort. But the door speed should be slow to provide the utmost safety. The provision of high speed and high safe elevator door systems seems contradictory. To balance these two factors, we have proposed and developed a new speed pattern design method for elevator doors. We have found a "singular point" on the pattern by changing the value of a free-parameter that the door speed pattern includes. In the proposed design method, the ideal door speed pattern can be easily achieved by adjusting the free-parameter so that the door velocity at the singular point becomes maximum value. In this paper, we introduce the proposed speed pattern design method for elevator doors to increase the quality of service.
