Elevator Scheduling Algorithm Simulator in C for practice with threading
Threads represent floors of the elevator and are used to create call requests
Compile: gcc ElevatorSim.c -pthread
Args: [# of floors] [time interval when call requests come in] [Length (seconds) of simulation]
Example: ./a.out 8 5 180 to run the simulation with 8 floors, 5 seconds between call requests generated, and for 3 minutes
- The elevator takes 5 seconds to go from one floor to the next
- The elevator takes 2 seconds after picking up and dropping off passengers
- Every x seconds, there is a 15% chance that each floor can generate a call request, where x is the time interval inputted by the user
- The max # of passengers an elevator can hold is 10
