Find a building in your local area that has from 4 to 12 floors that are serviced by 1-4 elevators. Collect data for the interarrival times (and, possibly, floor destinations) of the customers during a busy hour (e.g., the morning rush hour), and build the interarrival and destination submodels based on your data (by constructing the cumulative histograms). Write a computer program incorporating your submodels into the elevator system algorithm to obtain results such as those given in Table B.1.
