mrmattandmrchay | DUPLEX elevator call logic - how does THAT work? @mrmattandmrchay | Uploaded September 2019 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Explained - how a Otis Elevator call system works, between TWO elevators. Easy with computer, but NOT when you're using a 1970s relay system!

THE MRMATTANDMRCHAY CHANNEL, established 2008:
I'm passionate about uploading quality and interesting videos for YOU, my audience.
What is my channel about? "Old lift machinery made interesting", old air-raid sirens, prehistoric alarm equipment. If "I" don't find it interesting ...then IT DOESN'T GET UPLOADED!
I always spend a lot of time editing my videos with animations, video in-sync with music and voice overs to make them this way.
My moto - "Quality NOT Quantity" - spending a month editing a video is not a rarity!
But without you, I'm nothing here. Thank you so much for watching.
...mrmattandmrchay is me (Matt) and my son Chay.
THANK YOU very much for watching :)
#### LIFT SIM #####
youtube.com/watch?v=JnBga8rbH98
This is LIFTSIM. A computer program I wrote back in the early 1990s in QBasic. I'd love to update this to a modern platform, but I don't really get the time to do so.
LiftSim focuses on logic and functionality rather than graphics. 4 Lifts, up to 250 people, up to 35 floors with Express Zones allowed, and then liftsim does the rest!
The way the call logic works in LiftSim:
1) Call allocation. When a lift goes inactive, it is assigned a floor group. After a settable inactivity time, the lift will sleep and be taken out of the call logic system until required.
2) Time to destination. Before being allocated a call, each lift is given a 'score'. +1 for each floor to travel, +10 for each stop. The lift with the lowest score gets given the call - which may not 'necessarily' be an inactive lift.
3) Return to ground. Peak periods, the lift that reaches the last up call soonest gets given a priority 'return to ground', so that a lift is available to start collecting up calls. This helps distribute lifts so that don't all gather up on the same floors.
4) Using the score system, car calls are also considered, so that neighbouring lifts do not stop to collect Landing Calls when a different lift is due to stop there anyway.
5) And it goes on! After watching the way the lifts respond, there are also all kinds of tweaks to get the lifts working more efficently.
Please bear in mind this was originally QBASIC from the 1980s. It does still work in Windows using an emulator called QB64, but the last time I tested it was Windows XP. I've no idea if it still works in W10.

Please note, I'm offering very little support for LiftSim as it's essentially a DOS(QBasic) program running within Windows.
If you get it to work, great! If not (especially the sound) then...not!
