At the elevator bays you key in the floor you&#8217;re going to on a numeric keypad.  The keypad&#8217;s display tells you which elevator to get on (A, B, or C in this case).  When that elevator opens up, you get in.  There are no buttons, but there is a display of the floors it&#8217;s going to.  And it goes to the floor(s) it knows have been requested by people.<\/p>\n<p>One idea behind this is that the elevator system can optimize the floors being visited &#8212; if there are three people going to 5, and another person going to 6, and yet another person going to 2, then one elevator can handle the 2 and the other one can handle the 5-6 &#8212; whose passengers don&#8217;t have to stop at 2 on the way.  <\/p>\n<p>Cool.
