1. A method for determining a mapping of a number of floors to be served by an elevator, the method comprising the steps of:
determining, during each of a multiplicity of trips of an elevator car of the elevator, a trip-dependent physical parameter value that depends on at least one of a trip duration and a trip distance of the trips;
measuring the trip-dependent physical parameter value using a measuring device; and
clustering the determined trip-dependent physical parameter values to define each of the floors in the mapping.
