Claim 7:
8. An elevator system, comprising:
an elevator pit; and
a safety net system comprising:
a sensor arranged in a first plane along a bottom of the elevator pit and configured to perform sensing to sense an object disposed along the first plane and to generate data corresponding to results of the sensing;
one or more additional sensors arranged in a second plane, which is non-coplanar with the first plane, along the bottom of the elevator pit and configured to perform sensing to sense an object disposed along the second plane and to generate additional data corresponding to results of the sensing; and
a processor operably coupled to the sensor and to the one or more additional sensors and configured to analyze the data and to determine whether the data and the additional data is indicative of a person in the elevator pit based on analysis results.
