An elevator includes at least one elevator car driving along an elevator shaft as well as an elevator control measuring the car position. The elevator further includes a buffer in the shaft pit, whose length is adjustable in response to the car position and car speed. Via this measure, the shaft pit can be reduced in high speed elevator requiring large buffer lengths.
