  • hello friends welcome to my channel in today's  video we are going to discuss the design of  

  • elevator system if you haven't seen my previous  video on designing parking lot system then you  

  • should check the video you can find the video  here you can either watch it first or watch  

  • it after this video there are many things that  i have already discussed in my previous video  

  • and i'm not going to discuss here however  just to recall there are few points that i  

  • discussed in greater detail in that video and  i'm going to discuss those very briefly here  

  • so you need to understand that elevator system  design is also an object-oriented system design  

  • interview question just like parking lot  system design the very first thing is  

  • when the interviewer asks you this question he's  looking for your requirement collection expertise  

  • he's looking for whether you can clearly  list all the possible requirements  

  • and also can you scope down the the system into  something which you can solve in 30 to 45 minutes  

  • another thing that the interviewer is looking  for is your design skills especially your object  

  • oriented design skills he is looking for how  well you can design the system in terms of  

  • components and classes how well versed are you in  object oriented design concepts like abstraction  

  • encapsulation in inheritance and polymorphism  the interview is also looking for whether you  

  • can you can identify different object oriented  design patterns or other programming patterns  

  • while designing the elevator system in case  there are two or more elevators in the system  

  • the interview is looking for how well you  can tackle the concurrency in your system  

  • again as i have mentioned in my previous  video on designing parking lot system  

  • this type of question is not a distributed system  design question and so you should not try to solve  

  • it as a distributed system design question if  you try to do that then the interviewer can  

  • interpret it as that you don't have sufficient  experience to scope down the problem correctly  

  • and he would think that instead of simplifying  the problem you are actually over complicating it  

  • in my opinion this is one of the best interviews  to gauge the candidate's graph of the fundamentals  

  • of the computer science in addition this can  be extended into many different directions  

  • making it an ideal problem to see how the  candidate thinks it is easy to make it an  

  • object-oriented design problem it can be used to  discuss different data structures that can be used  

  • in implementing the system if needed it can be  made even more complicated by introducing two or  

  • more elevator cars in the building where a request  button summons the most appropriate elevator this  

  • is another nice optimization problem but the core  single elevator problem is often good enough to  

  • judge the ability of a candidate to see different  trade-offs inherent in any design now let's  

  • discuss different requirements of the system so  the very first requirement is that if you haven't  

  • saw my course then please do check my course on  system design w preparation the link is in the  

  • description below at least go to the website  which is still there and go through the free  

  • preview chapters and see whether you like them or  not okay joker parts the very first requirement is  

  • that the alibaba car have three states whether it  can go up down or idle so there are three states  

  • it can go up it can go down or it could be idle  we will represent these states of an elevator car  

  • using enumeration so now i have a question for you  in my past video in designing parking lot system  

  • i said not to use animation for designing parking  lot type however here i am saying that we can use  

  • enumeration for these you can pause the video  and think about it why i'm preferring animation  

  • types here and why i'm not perfecting in the  machine type in my previous video on designing  

  • parking lot system what do you think please  let me know in the comments below and don't  

  • worry if you cannot guess right now i'm  going to discuss this in this video later  

  • the second requirement is the elevator can  transfer passengers from one floor to another

  • transfer passengers

  • from one floor to another the third requirement  is the elevator can only open its door  

  • when it is idle

  • so open door

  • when idle at a floor

  • now let's discuss the number of  floors that a building can have  

  • the tallest building in the world is bhuj  khalifa in dubai it has more than 160 floors  

  • and more than 57 elevator cars so right  now we can simply assume that in our system  

  • we have 200 elevator floors so 200  elevator flows so since buja khalifa  

  • has 57 elevator cars i'm assuming that  okay right now we have 50 elevator cars  

  • 50 elevator cars now there are some requirements  related to specification of each elevator car

  • specs of elevator car

  • and for example the number of passengers

  • number of

  • passengers that the elevator car can  can actually carry or the maximum load

  • maximum load that the elevator car can carry  

  • similarly the maximum speed with which the  elevator car can move so the maximum speed  

  • with which the elevator car can move up or down  now the next requirement is what is we would like  

  • to minimize in this whole system do we want to  minimize the overall wait time of a passenger so

  • minimize

  • wait time or do we want to minimize the wait  time of individual passenger wait time of system

  • or wait time of individual  

  • passenger the other things that we would like  to actually discuss in the requirement would  

  • be like what about the throughput do we want to  increase the support like the number of passengers  

  • using the elevators to go from one floor  to another do we want to increase it

  • so throughput another requirement could  be that do we would like to minimize the  

  • power usage by the the whole elevator system

  • so power usage minimization for the whole elevator  system the reason is that as the elevators are  

  • moving up and down they are using electricity  and they are used they are consuming power  

  • which means there is some cost associated  with every movement of an elevator car  

  • and then it also require maintenance  now the more the elevator car is moving  

  • it means there will be more maintenance it  will be requiring periodically so that's the  

  • question do we would like to minimize power  usage and in this way they minimize the cost  

  • during requirement collection you should also  discuss with the interview whether he would  

  • like to have different operational zones or  sectors while designing the elevator system  

  • a zone is a set of flows which is covered by a set  of elevator cars for example in our system we are  

  • we are assuming that there are 200 floors we can  actually divide those 200 floors into let's say  

  • four or five different operational zones if  we divide them into four operational zones  

  • then we can say okay the first 50 floors are one  operational zone or sector the next 50 floors are  

  • the second operational zone or sector and then  and so on and so on and so we can say that only  

  • from our elevators or 100 elevators that we have  let's say 25 elevators will only serve the first  

  • 50 floors the next 25 elevator cars will only  serve the next 50 floors and so on another example  

  • is suppose in this system we have one two three  four five six floors and we have two elevator cars  

  • either we can consider this as a complete one  operational zone where these two elevator cars  

  • serve all these flows or we can also divide  this into two different operational zones and  

  • we could say that okay this elevator  car will only serve the first three  

  • floors while the other elevator car will  only serve then the top three floors  

  • another way of zoning is that we can say  that this first elevator car will only serve  

  • the even number of flows and this elevator  car will only serve the odd number of flows  

  • so why do we need zoning sometimes if the number  of flows and the number of elevator cars are large  

  • enough then it's very hard to actually come up  with an efficient algorithm that could actually  

  • serve all our requirements that is it can  increase the support of passengers using the  

  • elevator and minimize the cost and minimize  the waiting time overall waiting time of the  

  • system i think everyone knows about this divide  and conquer strategy so in that case when the  

  • problem becomes uh that complex it's better  to actually divide it into smaller problems  

  • and that's what we do by dividing the elevator  system into multiple operational zones because now  

  • those operational zones can can be considered as  independent elevator systems and their operation  

  • will be totally independent from the operation of  other operational zones in that elevator system  

  • now the question is how should we decide what are  the different types of official zones should be  

  • should we divide this whole elevator system into  operational zones like first three and the top c  

  • or even odd etcetera etcetera it all depends  on our requirements whatever the requirements  

  • we discuss with the interview or whatever the  requirements we have for designing the system  

  • dictates how we are going to divide the  elevator system into multiple operational zones  

  • apart from these requirements there  are some extended requirements as well  

  • for example triggering emergency alarm or brakes  so emergency alarms brakes etc apart from the  

  • normal elevator cars there could be some vip or  utility elevators as well in the system so vip uh  

  • utility elevator cars system apart from that  there could be a monitoring system as well

  • so the monitoring system which is monitoring the  status of the elevator cars and the doors the  

  • button panels etc and there can be other external  requirement as well let me know in the comments  

  • below if i have missed any requirement that you  think is important to discuss here now let's  

  • discuss different objects and actors in our system  so that we can come up with the different classes  

  • and objects you know for the alpha elevator  system design so the first actor is passenger

  • so passenger is some person  

  • who actually would like to go from one floor to  another floor the second object is elevator car

  • so like these are the elevator  cars then of course we have floors  

  • so we have different floors now  in a building we also have doors

  • so elevator doors we also have button panels

  • button panels and there are  actually two types of button panels  

  • there are button panels which are  outside the elevator on each floor  

  • where you have two buttons up and down  so there are two buttons only one for

  • going up and other for going down so these are  the button panels in each floor and then we have  

  • other button panels within the elevator which  contains a list of all the floors which you can  

  • press to actually tell the elevator system about  your destination flow now as far as these button  

  • panels are concerned each floor will have these  but as far as the topmost uh flow is concerned it  

  • will only have the only have one button which is  the which is the direction downwards similarly the  

  • lowest flow or the lobby in our case for example  will have only one button which is going up apart  

  • from that in our system we have the scheduler  or dispatch system so i would say dispatcher

  • this component is responsible for selecting the  

  • the most appropriate elevator to send  to a passenger when a passenger calls  

  • an eliminator car then of course we have the  whole elevator system this is one big object

  • and this will be a singleton object in our system

  • apart from that we could also have  monitoring system or monitoring object

  • and there can be other objects in  the elevator system like alarms  

  • and other like mechanical objects as well that  are responsible for moving the elevator cars up  

  • or down now before we go further i have a question  for you do you think we need a passenger class  

  • while implementing the elevator system pause  the video here and think about it the correct  

  • answer is we do not need a passenger class  in the implementation of the elevator system  

  • a passenger is an actor in our system which calls  an elevator car and rides it to go from one floor  

  • to another but in the implementation  of the elevator system we really don't  

  • need the passenger class itself and please note  we are not designing an elevator simulation system  

  • we are designing an elevator control system right  now maybe a passenger class might be needed in the  

  • implementation of elevator simulation system where  we would like to simulate passengers but in actual  

  • elevator system we don't need a passenger glass  and that is the same reasoning why we don't need  

  • a vehicle class in the design of parking lot  system in my previous video many of you guys  

  • asked that why we are not using a vehicle class in  our implementation and the answer is it's the same  

  • reasoning that the reason why we are not using  a passenger class here in the design of elevator  

  • system it's the same reason why we are not using  the vehicle class in the design of parking lot  

  • system now after discussing different objects  and actors in our system we will now discuss  

  • the different use cases this is mostly important  for tpm or product manager interviews for sde  

  • interviews the interval can ask the candidate to  discuss them briefly because they can be used to  

  • actually discuss the different implementation of  those use cases so let me give you some examples  

  • of different use cases in the elevator system  design the first use case is calling the elevator

  • so of course what it means that when a passenger  wants to go from one floor to another floor  

  • he will press a button which will actually go  to the scheduler or the dispatcher system the  

  • dispatcher system will then figure out which  elevator car is the most appropriate car that  

  • it should schedule to send to the to that floor so  this is what the calling the elevator use case is  

  • then the second use case is move or  stop the elevator so move or stop

  • elevator so an elevator can move  up or move down or it can stop  

  • if it's moving the third use case  is open or close the doors so  

  • open or close elevator doors the fourth use  case is indicating the elevator direction

  • so when an elevator is going up or down usually  we show this direction inside the elevator as well  

  • as we also show it outside whenever i come on the  floor we actually notify the the passengers there  

  • who are waiting for the elevator that  this elevator is going up or down  

  • the another use case is indicating the  elevator position or the num of the floor  

  • so inside the elevator there is a panel where  it shows the floor where the elevator is present  

  • right now and it actually indicates the passengers  if they need to hop off from the elevator at that  

  • slow that okay this is your destination flow  now another use case is triggering emergency  

  • brakes similarly we have another use case which  is making emergency call so emergency calls

  • and there can be other use cases as well let me  know in the comments below if you if you think  

  • there are other use cases as well which i have  missed here now let's discuss different classes  

  • and interfaces in our system so the very first  example that i'm going to discuss right now is  

  • basically the button interface it has passed down  and is best uh methods and there are two types  

  • of classes that actually implement that button  interface we have elevator buttons and we have  

  • all buttons so the whole buttons are the buttons  which are outside the elevator at each floor which  

  • is which has only two buttons up and down and then  the elevator buttons are basically the buttons  

  • which are inside the elevator and representnumber of floors the question is why we need  

  • two different types of button class because the  implementation is totally different the press down  

  • of the whole button does totally different thing  than what the press down of elevator button does  

  • similarly we have a dual class and it has open  function close function and is open to check  

  • whether the door is open or not and we will have  as many instances of this class as the number of  

  • flows times the number of elevators similarly  we can have an elevator motion interface  

  • which has a move function which takesdestination flow and it could also have  

  • a stop function as well similarly we will  have interfaces and classes for the flows  

  • in the system we will have interfaces for the  dispatcher system as well for the monitoring  

  • system as well and by the way for the  monitoring system i actually discussed  

  • the interface in the design of the parking lot  system so you should check that video as well  

  • and we can have other interfaces i'm not going  to discuss those classes and objects right now  

  • because see there are other online resources which  you can find which are actually filled with all  

  • those information and you can actually you can  go through them and also if you would like to  

  • know my opinion about the different classes and  interfaces and their functions then let me know  

  • what classes interfaces you can come up with in  the comments below and i will then check them  

  • and i will let you know whether you are right  or wrong or if you have missed anything or not  

  • now i would like to discuss the most important  part here of the elevator system design which is  

  • the scheduling algorithm as i said before the  elevator system design is a unique interview  

  • which can be tailored into discussing this  many different things so it can be turned  

  • into an object-oriented design question where  the interviewer can ask you to come up with the  

  • design of different classes interface etc it can  also be turned into an interview question where  

  • the interviewer will try to evaluate your problem  solving skills in that case he might ask you to  

  • actually come up with an appropriate algorithm  that can be used to schedule the elevator cars  

  • that's why you need to know at least these  four algorithms that i'm going to discuss here  

  • so the very first and the simplest algorithm to  implement is first come first serve in this case  

  • how we implement this first come  first of request is that all these  

  • hall buttons they are connected to the scheduler  

  • and whenever and and whenever a passenger press  a button there's a request that request goes  

  • to the dispatcher and the dispatchers to it in  a queue so all the request will go in a queue  

  • so let's say there was a passenger here on let's  say this these are the floors two three four five  

  • and he wants to go down okay so that request will  go in the queue here first so at three direction  

  • is down there could be another passenger  who is here and who wants to go up so  

  • he pressed the button after this passenger so  that request will go again here and it will be  

  • one and up now let's just assume for the time  being that we only have one elevator in the system  

  • in that case what will happen is  that the elevator first will go here  

  • to this passenger so what the dispatcher will  do it will take the first item and check and  

  • then it will actually call the elevator to move to  this destin this floor an elevator will go there  

  • the passenger will hop on to the elevator car  and then it will go to his destination and once  

  • the elevator become empty at that time again  the scheduler will come here and take the next  

  • entry or the next request from the from the queue  so you can see in the first come first of approach  

  • that as a passenger is requesting the elevator  car we are putting this request into a queue  

  • and then we always process those  requests in first come first serve manner  

  • now in that in a case where we don't have one  elevator but but two elevators what we would do  

  • in that case the scheduler can actually decide to  always send the nearest elevator to the passenger  

  • and in order to serve the passenger request so now  let's suppose if we have two elevator cars state  

  • of one in that case what will happen that the  dispatcher will always select the nearest elevator  

  • to go and take the passenger which is requesting  the elevator for example now in that case  

  • first when the dispatcher will process  this request it will it will then check  

  • between these two elevators this elevator  is near to this guy so he will actually send  

  • this one here and of course then it will once  after this it will go and look at this entry  

  • and process this entry and for that this elevator  will go to this passenger also there's one more  

  • thing that we need to understand when there  are two or more elevators that the elevators  

  • could be in either four of these states so the  first state the elevator can be is it's idle

  • so the elevator is not moving it's stopped  at some flow the second state the elevator  

  • can be is that the limiter can be moving  in the same direction towards the passenger  

  • and also the same direction where the  passenger wants to go so moving same direction

  • towards

  • passenger and direction passenger wants to go

  • so for example let's just  for example let's say this  

  • passenger wants to go down and this  also moving down which is this case

  • the third state this elevator car can  be is that it is moving same direction

  • it is moving in the direction  towards the passenger

  • but oppose it to direction passenger wants to go

  • example let's say this passenger wants to go  up and this elevator is now going down it's  

  • going towards the passenger but it's going in the  opposite direction where the passenger wants to go

  • and then the fourth state is the the  elevator car is going away from the passenger

  • going away from the passenger

  • so let me repeat again very quickly  there are four different states  

  • where we which in which we can find the elevator  car the first state is the idle state where the  

  • elevator cars is idle at stopped at a floor  the second state is the elevator car is moving  

  • towards the passenger and the same direction  where the passenger wants to go for example  

  • we take the example that this passenger wants to  go down and then this elevator also going down  

  • so it's going towards the passenger and also in  the same direction where the passenger wants to go  

  • the third is the third state is that the elevator  is going towards the passenger but in the opposite  

  • direction so the elevator is going down but this  passenger wants to go up for example and then  

  • the fourth one is that the elevator car is going  away from the passenger so for example this this  

  • passenger wants to go down and this elevator is  going up so these are the four different states  

  • so we can clearly see there that the dispatcher  will actually ignore those elevators which are  

  • in these two states that is they are either  moving away from the passenger are moving  

  • in a direction towards the passenger but away  from the direction where the passenger wants to go

  • so now the dispatcher will always try  to find an elevator between these two  

  • states in order to serve the passenger request and  so that it will check between these two types of  

  • elevator cars and see which elevator car is then  nearest to the passenger floor now clearly this  

  • algorithm has some flaws there is a possibility  where some requests could have been served  

  • while some other requests were being served for  example consider the case where we have a large  

  • number of floors and we have a large number of  uh basically a large number of elevators and  

  • now there's uh one passenger who's going from  the ground floor all the way up to fifth floor  

  • and there's another passenger here who is here  at the third floor going towards fifth floor  

  • so in the first come first of mana what would  happen is that this elevator first will go all  

  • the way up to five and it will first completely  serve the first passenger and then it will go to  

  • the third one although ideally what it should  have done is that it should have gone to this  

  • passenger also and pick it up as well so we  can see clearly see there's a flaw in this  

  • in this algorithm this algorithm also results  in extra up and down motions of elevator just  

  • give you a simple example let's suppose we  have only one elevator so this passenger  

  • comes wants to go up then this passenger comes  wants to go maybe up as well but we will first  

  • the elevator car will first come here it will  actually pick this passenger up go all the way  

  • up drop the passenger and then it will go and  check the next request in the dispatcher queue  

  • and then serve it so it means there will  be some extra up or down movements of the  

  • elevator car which we could have avoided  but this algorithm does not tackle those  

  • those things the second algorithm is shortest  seek time first this algorithm tries to favor  

  • minimum movement of the elevator car as compared  to the first one where we saw that there could  

  • be extra movement of elevator car this is an  improvement over the first come first serve basis  

  • now there are two approaches to implement this one  approach is using the priority queue or min heap

  • and in that case what you do you actually put  the all the request entries in a priority queue  

  • or the main hitman heap based on the distance  of the requesting flow from the elevator flow  

  • and then we pick the the top most request to  be served but of course this min heap will  

  • change as the position of the elevator changes it  also changes so other approach is basically use  

  • like an array and that array would  be basically like something like this  

  • equal to number of flows and so on and let's say  if the elevator is here starting from that index  

  • it will start scanning in this array to see which  floor like which request is the minimum request  

  • so this algorithm also has some flaws for example  there is a possibility of starvation like for  

  • example if there is one passenger which is here  and then most of the passengers are at this point  

  • so what will happen now the elevator will just  keep serving these passengers that are coming here  

  • and it will totally ignore the passenger which  is a bit further away from the elevator car  

  • and also similar to first come first of all  approach this algorithm also does not support  

  • serving multiple requests in parallel  now the third algorithm is called scan

  • and it is also popularly known  as elevator algorithm as well

  • now lets see how it is implemented in the scan  algorithm there will be an array a boolean area  

  • there will be actually two boolean arrays one for  the up direction one for the down direction and  

  • each elevator car it will be just scanning this  whole building moving up and down so this elevator  

  • car will go all the way up and only at it at this  point it will change its direction it will go down  

  • all the way down and then only at the bottom  most uh floor it will then change its direction  

  • and while each elevator car is moving at every  floor they check the entry there so if this  

  • elevator car is moving up at every floor that it  reaches it checks the corresponding entry here  

  • whether the entry is set or not and if  it is set uh that is it is true then the  

  • elevator car will stop there open the door  and also reset this entry to false and also  

  • not apart from this elevator each elevator car  also has two priority queues min heap and max  

  • heap for going up and down and they also check  the entries there as well whether the when when  

  • it's going up it's checking the min heap and see  and checking whether the the entry the flow entry  

  • there in the mean hip at the top is the current uh  flow or not and if it's the current flow they stop  

  • there and they also take out the entry from the uh  from the priority queue from the min heap as well  

  • so this algorithm has clearly advantages over the  above two algorithms because now it can actually  

  • serve multiple requests in parallel however it has  its own slots as well the first flaw that it has  

  • is that the elevator cars are continuously  moving which means there is increased cost  

  • now associated with it and of course then we  need to do all the maintenance and everything  

  • the second issue is that in this approach is that  the elevator car will only change its direction  

  • when it reaches one end so let's suppose if this  elevator car is going up it will keep going up  

  • until it reaches the end and then only then it  will change its direction and this actually wastes  

  • a lot of time as well and to overcome this we have  the fourth algorithm that overcome this problem  

  • and that algorithm is called look why we why  we call it look because in this algorithm the  

  • elevator actually look ahead to see at each floor  it look ahead to see whether there are requests  

  • or not for example if this elevator is going up it  will actually try to look ahead for other request  

  • in the up direction and if there  are no requests in the abstraction  

  • it will just stop there and it will not move  at all so the look algorithm is similar to the  

  • scan gotham but on the only thing is that in the  scan algorithm the elevators they are keep moving  

  • and they only change direction when they reach the  top while here in the look algorithm the elevators  

  • will stop as soon as there is no more request in  front of them and that is the point where they can  

  • change direction as well based on the request  if the for example if this elevator was going  

  • up and at this point it drops the passengers and  it look ahead and see there's no other request in  

  • the top floors then this elevator will stop here  and then it will not move now it can only move  

  • based on the request when the weather request is  coming from a passenger in some floor which is  

  • uh down the floor where the elevator is or it's  up the floor where the elevator is now in the  

  • local gotham let's suppose this passenger  it wants to actually go up and there are two  

  • elevators one of the elevators stopped here and  the other elevator is going up in this direction  

  • now when the passenger press the elevator car  request button now the dispatcher has to decide  

  • between these two elevators that which one it  should actually dispatch to pick up the passenger  

  • and now there are different approaches that the  algorithm can use the first approach is that some  

  • can use always the shortest seat time first so in  this in this approach the algorithm will actually  

  • suggest this elevator to go down and pick the  pick the passenger although we know that there's  

  • another elevator which is going up in reality  the algorithm used by the elevator systems  

  • is a combination of the look algorithm  along with some modifications in it  

  • the modifications are based on heuristics  which are applied in the algorithm  

  • the heuristics could include for example  if it's an office building then of course  

  • in the morning we would like the liberals to  always be present at the lobby so that they can  

  • take more passengers which are going towards their  offices up or in the afternoon maybe for example  

  • a late evening since everyone wants to go down  maybe then what we would do if we have let's say  

  • 10 floors and three elevators maybe we can  move those elevators automatically towards  

  • towards floors like three six and nine so  that they're spread over the whole building  

  • in a way to actually cover most of the request  when needed also one final thing is that in  

  • the implementation of a scan we use the arrays  but in the implementation of look algorithm we  

  • can either use hashmap or tree map or like evenbinary search tree because it would be way easier  

  • to actually look ahead in that case like if  an elevator is going up and it's reaches this  

  • point in a binary search tree it will be  way easier to see if there's any entry  

  • greater than three in the binary search tree  or not so let me know in the comments below  

  • how will you implement these algorithms if  you have to now in the beginning of the video  

  • i discussed that we can actually use animation  to represent the different states of the  

  • elevator car while actually i discourage  using the enumerations for the  

  • for designing during the design of the parking  lot system we need to understand that i was not  

  • discussing the use of innovation actuallywas using i was i was actually discouraging  

  • the use of information for that scenario  in case of the state of the elevator car  

  • we know there are only three states either the  elevator is going down or going up or its idle  

  • there is no fourth state possible and since we  already know in advance all the different types of  

  • states that are possible that's why we can use  animation there but in case of parking lot system  

  • at the beginning we didn't know which type of  parking lot we would like to actually use in  

  • our parking lot it could be extend like a we hadparking lot category or type of like a compact car  

  • and a large car but we can also always  introduce different other types of parking lot  

  • and that is why we cannot use innovation there  because using animation will then violate the open  

  • closed principle that we have and what the open  close principle dictates the open close principle  

  • dictates that whatever the code you are writing  it should be able you should be able to extend it  

  • without modifying the existing code if you  are using animation for the parking lot  

  • type and then you are introducing new parking lot  types then in that case what will happen if you  

  • are using enumeration that you will actually  violate this open you have to go and modify  

  • i think all the places where you have  your if else or switch case statements  

  • for the parking lot type you have  to go and modify all that code  

  • which will violate the open closed principle of  object-oriented design now just for the sake of  

  • completion i would also like to discuss one  more algorithm which is nowadays being used  

  • in in some very new buildings it is called  a destination dispatch algorithm so it is

  • destination

  • dispatch and what it does actually is  that in in some buildings what you will  

  • find that instead of this up and down  buttons there will be a separate panel  

  • a screen there where the passenger can enter  the destination flow and that panel will then  

  • calculate the appropriate elevator for it and  it will tell you okay to which door number or  

  • elevator car number it should go to actually go  to his to the destination flow so in that case  

  • the dispatch algorithm try to load the  passengers going to a same destination flow  

  • in the same elevator in order to minimize uh the  the wait time and also in order to minimize the  

  • the moving time as well because now if all the  passengers are going to the same flow and they  

  • will not be stopping in between then it will  of course increase the throughput of the system  

  • so let me know in the comments below what do  you think how the elevator system find the  

  • most appropriate elevators in that case if they  are using this destination dispatch algorithm a  

  • hint is maybe k-nearing neighbors please note  elevator system design discussed in this video  

  • is just one way to design the elevator system  however for your case the interviewer can to go  

  • in totally different direction depending on what  the interviewer is looking in the candidate and so  

  • there could be totally different requirements  that could be discussed in an interview also  

  • there could be different requirements for which  the implementation would be totally different  

  • for example the requirement would be that you  are actually designing a related system for  

  • residential building so the requirements there  would be totally different from the requirements  

  • for an elevator system for the hotel or for an  office building or from an airport building etc  

  • also as far as the dispatching algorithms  are concerned we use a strategy pattern for  

  • implementing these algorithms so there could  be multiple dispatch request strategy classes  

  • in the system and when a system gets installed in  a building then a set of dispatch request strategy  

  • classes can be chosen depending on the scenarios  and certain criterias like the time of day or the  

  • day of week etc so i'm going to stop the video  here please let me know in the comments below  

  • uh do you find this video useful or not  and also please like the video as well and

  • and by the way again if you haven't checked  my course on stream design dev preparation  

  • then please do check the course the link is in  the description below thank you and take care

hello friends welcome to my channel in today's  video we are going to discuss the design of
