> Seems like the real reason it performed worse in this simulation is that when they implemented destination dispatch, they assigned an elevator at time of request, and had no system for reviewing and updated that assignment.

I don't think it's possible to have destination dispatch AND update assignment together, in the real world.

- If the user clicks floor 26 and you tell them to wait at elevator G, you can't really tell them to move to F if it's taking too long.

- But if you don't tell them an elevator to wait at, then you'd need them to run around what is possibly like 5-8 elevators to find which one is going to their floor? That's obviously not realistic.

So then you're going to just have them get in the first one that opens? But then that's just the same as an up/down button.
