A dynamic elevator simulation web application that visually demonstrates how an elevator processes floor requests efficiently, using realistic animation and scheduling logic.

• Interactive user interface with:

  • Elevator visual moving up and down floors.
  • Buttons to request specific floors at any time.

• Dynamic request handling:

  • Users can add new requests mid-journey.
  • Elevator intelligently decides the optimal path based on current direction.

• Smooth animations to depict elevator movement.

• Responsive design for desktop and mobile views.

• HTML5 – Structure
• CSS3 – Styling and layout
• JavaScript (ES6) – Elevator logic, event handling, and animations

1. User clicks on floor buttons to make requests.

2. The elevator maintains:

   • currentFloor – elevator's current floor.
   • direction – moving "up" or "down".
   • requests – queue of pending floor requests.

3. Processes requests in the current direction:

   • Moves to requested floors only, avoiding unnecessary stops.
   • Reverses direction if no further requests exist in the current direction.

4. New floor requests can be added while the elevator is moving, and they will be integrated into the optimal path dynamically.

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/elevator-simulation-webapp.git
cd elevator-simulation-webapp

2. Open index.html in your browser:

start index.html

or

Simply deploy it using GitHub Pages, Netlify, or Vercel for live simulation.

• Click any floor button to request the elevator to stop at that floor.
• Observe the elevator moving with smooth CSS transitions.
• Try adding multiple requests mid-journey to see dynamic scheduling in action.

• Event-driven programming
• Queue and scheduling algorithms
• DOM manipulation
• CSS animations & transitions
• Real-world simulation logic adapted to web apps

• Multiple elevators with optimal car assignment (like real building systems).
• Sound and door animations for realism.
• Backend integration with Java Spring Boot or Node.js for smart building systems.
• User authentication for personalized requests in co-working or apartment setups.
