An elevator system is provided, comprising: an elevator car; a driving machine to drive elevator car movements; a braking assembly to apply a braking force in opposition to the elevator car movements; and a control system (301) configured to control a deceleration rate during an incident requiring engagement of at least one of primary and secondary brakes to decelerate the elevator car movements by: operating the driving machine or the braking assembly as the primary brake, determining whether the deceleration rate is within a target range, and adjusting the deceleration rate in an event the deceleration rate is outside the target range.
