Abstract

La présente invention concerne une unité de fonctionnement automatique de transporteur de personne comprenant un premier détecteur (6) destiné à détecter un passager approchant de l'entrée/la sortie d'un transporteur de personne, et un second détecteur (7) destiné à détecter un passager passant juste devant un tapis roulant. Lorsque le premier détecteur (6) ne détecte pas de passager alors que le second détecteur (7) en détecte un, un transporteur de personne arrêté en attente bloque le démarrage du tapis roulant. Un transporteur de personne fonctionnant à vitesse lente pendant la période d'attente effectue une transition vers le fonctionnement continu du tapis roulant à une vitesse donnée et ré-enclenche un fonctionnement automatique lorsque le premier détecteur (6) détecte un passager.
