An elevator end termination for an elevator belt includes a wedge housing, a segmented wedge disposed axially within the wedge housing. The segmented wedge includes at least two wedge members spaced apart from one another to define a space therebetween. At least one pressure sensor is disposed in the space defined between the at least two wedge members. The at least one pressure sensor registers compressive pressure exerted between the at least two wedge members. The at least two wedge members may include a pair of adjacent longitudinally-extending wedge members, and a wedge crown adjacent a first end of each of the longitudinally-extending wedge members and separated therefrom by a transversely-extending space. The space is a longitudinal slot between the adjacent wedge members.
