A simulated elevator hardware platform is set up in this paper. VB interface is designed to simulate the elevator button. The search algorithm is adopted as elevator scheduling algorithm. The effectiveness of the platform is verified by designing and realizing the algorithm. STC89C52 is used in this system as the elevator controller to realize the manual or automatic func-tions to open and close the door,the function to show the current floor,the function of bell reminding at the moment of opening the door,the function to display the elevator s...
