1. A control device of a passenger traffic system, configured to:
receive data from the passenger traffic system configured in at least one building, wherein the data comprises information associated with operations for transferring passengers of the passenger traffic system in the at least one building;
based on the received data, monitor a change in a quality of service level of the passenger traffic system in transferring the passengers and a change in a passenger traffic pattern in transferring the passengers in the passenger traffic system; and
in response to detecting the change in the service level or in the passenger traffic pattern, run one or more simulations of the passenger traffic in the passenger traffic system in the at least one building using the received data in order to trigger at least one operation to change a configuration of the passenger traffic system,
wherein the one or more simulations of the passenger traffic in the passenger traffic system comprises using at least one adjusted parameter to find an improved parameter setup to change the configuration of the passenger traffic system, and
wherein the one or more simulations comprises using at least one equipment change to find an equipment upgrade suggestion to change the configuration of the passenger traffic system.
