Do elevator algorithms communicate with external systems, such as swipe cards?
For example, when an employee swipes through the security gates, the elevator is called.
Also curious if elevators use statistical analysis for predicting trends over time. A four-elevator system in an office tower would likely give the cars preference to being near the first floor at 8:30am. Is this what fuzzy logic schedulers do?

Not that I work in the industry, but I highly doubt it. Only be cause when I look at other fields such as communications, it is only in the past few years that the idea of unified communications has taken hold, where separated systems can talk to each other, think e-mail connected to voice-mail, etc. So if I had to guess, I would highly doubt it
This could be an interesting area to patent and work on.
There would have to be some sort of standard API where multiple companies sharing a business could talk to a central lift system to share information about their employees.
