Question

Accepted Answer

An algorithm to operate lifts in a 500-story building ensuring no wait time for users.

Implement a decentralized control system for each lift to respond to requests instantly.
Use predictive algorithms to anticipate demand based on time of day and user patterns.
Incorporate a user interface that allows passengers to select their destination before entering the lift.
Utilize a network of sensors to monitor lift positions and adjust routes dynamically.
Example: If a lift is on the 250th floor and a request comes from the 300th floor, it reroutes immediately.
