Abstract
An interactive, real time elevator bank simulation system including a display panel, dispatcher control, and a processor unit. The display panel includes illuminable control devices and illuminable display devices which are controlled to represent movement of the various elevator cars of the bank. The control devices enable an operator to interact with the system, such as by entering traffic requests, and to observe in real time the results of the requests on the operation of the elevator bank. The operator initiated requests are processed by the processing unit, and the processing unit controls the illumination of the operator actuated control devices on the display panel. This positive feedback arrangement provides optical acknowledgment to the operator that his request has been received by the processor unit.
