In order to insure passengers' security and smooth functioning, elevators benefit from speed modeling. The paper aims to compare the evolution of the kinematic parameters (acceleration, speed, amplitude) of the oscillatory movements performed by the suspension ropes of the elevator cabin, considering speed variation at start and stop realized using S – curves generated from arches of parabolic curves. Usually, the functioning cycle of an elevator ends with a short period of constant speed traveling, in order to insure levelling of the cabin. We have already made a comparative analysis of the oscillatory movements of the suspension ropes, considering three varieties of speed modeling: with trapezoidal variation of acceleration, with parabolic variation of acceleration and with cosinusoidal variation of acceleration. The paper aims to analyze the possibility to remove the levelling period, and the impact of this upon the kinematic parameters of the oscillatory movements performed by the suspension ropes. We will take into consideration two possibilities of deceleration: with levelling step and with continuous variation of speed. In both cases, for comparison, the same duration of the acceleration period and deceleration period will be considered.
