Abstract

A system and a method include a fall protection system having safety anchors coupled with a passenger basket of a lift system. Each of the safety anchors may receive a safety key. One or more sensors are operably coupled with the passenger basket or a base of the lift system. A controller including one or more processors receives data from the sensors. The controller determines a weight value based on the data that corresponds to one or more passengers disposed within the passenger basket. The controller determines a number of passengers that are disposed within the passenger basket based in part on the weight value. The controller controls one or more operations of the lift system based at least in part on a comparison between the number of passengers disposed within the passenger basket and a number of safety keys operably coupled with a corresponding safety anchor.
