Comment on Elevator algorithms

Comments

I've wondered before why they don't have the list of floors when you call the elevator instead of selecting it from within.

I've seen this in a few buildings before. There is a keypad - you type the floor number and it tells you which elevator to wait at (for example 'g'). Worked really smoothly.

Then the fate of the elevator-bound would be determined by the snotty kid who sits outside the elevator pushing buttons. At least now that kid's power is limited to asking the elevator to stop at one floor rather than twenty.
