What it shows

  • Directional persistence prevents jerky reversals between floors.
  • Door dwell timers dynamically adapt based on beam interruptions.
  • Target assignment uses the LOOK algorithm to service requests in path.

The takeaway

State machines ensure elevator safety locks precede motion commands under all edge cases.
