Scheduling Algorithm

Pick how the lobby decides which lift answers your call. Try each and watch the difference.

Nearest idle Closest idle lift wins. Smart default.

Shortest ETA Fastest idle lift to the lobby.

LOOK Elevator-style scan with a small direction bias.

SCAN Prefers the nearest eligible car along the shaft.

Destination dispatch Groups calls with a light home-floor preference.

Priority service Gives a slight preference to the priority car.

Energy saver Favors shorter, lower-energy movement.

Round robin Alternates idle lifts to balance usage.

Random Any idle lift, purely by chance.

Furthest idle Worst possible pick. Feel the wait.
