To provide a method for controlling a passenger conveyor that can identify users having an intention to ride among people having entered a detection area, and perform automatic start/stop operation.SOLUTION: An automatic start/stop operation method for a passenger conveyor 10 of the present invention includes: a motor 17 that circulates and drives steps 11 and handrails 12; and sensors 40 that are installed at a getting-on platform 20a and detect positions of persons in a detection area α including the getting-on platform. The automatic start/stop operation method for the passenger conveyor performs operation by switching a rated operation mode of operating the motor at a rated speed and an energy-saving operation mode of stopping or slowly operating the motor. The automatic start/stop operation method for the passenger conveyor comprises: a detection step of plane-scanning, by the sensors, the detection area at a predetermined height to detect each person 50 present at the getting-on platform; and an operation mode control step of causing the passenger conveyor to shift into or continue the rated operation mode when a person 50A heading toward the passenger conveyor is detected among the persons detected in the detection area.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

    【課題】本発明は、検知エリアに侵入した人のうち、乗車意思有利用者を識別し、自動発停止運転を行なうことができる乗客コンベアの制御方法を提供する。【解決手段】本発明の乗客コンベア10の自動発停止運転方法は、踏み段11とハンドレール12を循環駆動させるモーター17と、乗り口20aに設置され、乗り口を含む検知エリアαにおける人の位置を検知するセンサー40と、を具え、モーターを定格速度で運転する定格運転モードと、モーターを停止又は低速運転する省エネ運転モードとを切り替えて運転する乗客コンベアの自動発停止運転方法であって、センサーにより、検知エリアの所定高さを平面スキャンし、乗り口に存する個々の人50を検知する検知ステップと、検知エリアで検知された人の内、乗客コンベアに向かう人50Aが検知されると、乗客コンベアを定格運転モードへ移行又は継続する運転モード制御ステップ、を含む。【選択図】図2
