The presence or absence of a user in the detection area can be detected more accurately.

  Moreover, since the announcement apparatus which emits the sound which has directivity toward a detection area is further provided, the information regarding a driving | operation of a group management elevator can be announced only to a detection area. Therefore, it is possible to make only the users in the detection area know that there is a possibility that the hall call registration for the disabled person may be released if the person leaves the periphery of the hall entrance / exit 3b for the disabled person. Moreover, it can prevent that the speaker 8 emits an unnecessary sound toward the user outside a detection area.

  In this embodiment, the group management control device 6 measures a predetermined time after the registration of the general hall call registration is canceled, and when the predetermined time has elapsed, the group management control device 6 Although the group management elevator that holds or cancels the hall call registration for the handicapped according to the presence or absence of the user in the group has been described, the group management control device 6 receives a start signal of the opening operation of the general hall entrance 3a, The group management control device 6 may be a group management elevator that holds or cancels the hall call registration for the handicapped according to the presence or absence of a user in the detection area. In this case, a start signal indicating that the opening operation of the general hall entrance / exit 3a is started is sent from the car control device 9 to the group management control device 6. It is expected that the user of the general car 1 will move in front of the general hall entrance / exit 3a before the opening operation of the general hall entrance / exit 3a starts. Therefore, when the group management control device 6 receives the start signal of the opening operation of the general hall entrance / exit 3a, the group management control device 6 holds the hall call registration for the handicapped or By performing the release, it is possible to more reliably prevent a healthy person who should get on the car 1 for the general public from being erroneously detected in the detection area and holding the hall call registration for the disabled.

  Further, in this embodiment, the predetermined time measured after the release of the general hall call registration is the opening operation of the general hall entrance / exit 3a from the release of the general hall call registration. However, for example, when the opening operation of the general hall entrance / exit 3a has been completed since the registration of the general hall call registration has been canceled, or during the opening operation.
