I wonder if this is a scenario where it would make sense to advertise competence by offering more information to the user. Imagine a big visualization on the ground floor showing all 101 floors, the location of each elevator, which floors are waiting on people, where each elevator plans to stop, estimated ETAs, etc. It'd give waiting folks something pretty to idly study, and it'd also provide reassurance that the elevators are all doing quite a lot of work in a reasonably intelligent way. You'd probably need to balance this against some privacy concerns (maybe it's a bad idea to show people exactly when someone in the penthouse gets into the elevator).
- Nextgrid 4y agoShort of privacy edge-cases, this would be a great idea. Dump the raw state of the elevator scheduling algorithm for the guests to look at while they wait.
- fragmede 4y agoI think you're right. Part of the ML algorithm used to drive lifts is to guess and learn when elevators predictably need to be where (eg morning commute or lunch time), but ML is horrible opaque and everyone thinks they could do better.
