PASSENGER CONVEYOR SYSTEM AND STARTING/STOPPING CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

The present invention provides a passenger transportation system and a startup and shutdown control methodA passenger transportation system comprises: a plurality of series-connected passenger transportation devices (100, 200); an electrical control system (300) comprising a plurality of startup and shutdown circuits which are respectively used for controlling startup and shutdown of each of the passenger transportation devices; and an electrical interlocking assembly coupled between each of the startup and shutdown circuits, wherein the electrical interlocking assembly controls a startup and shutdown sequence of a low-position passenger transportation device and a high-position passenger transportation device by controlling closing and opening of each of the startup and shutdown circuits. With such a passenger transportation system and the startup and shutdown control method thereof, the startup and shutdown reliability of each of the passenger transportation devices in the system is improved, the problem of gathering or crowding of various people due to a sudden stop caused by system startup and shutdown or by a system fault is avoided, thereby avoiding safety incidents.
