How to create an elevator system for people with networknode ?

How can I model the system Case 2 (network node + elevator) with the same behavior than the case 3 (A* + PeopleElevator) ?

Or is there a better way ?

Elevators.fsm

Why ? I often have problems with Astar and people elevators (strange behaviours, no feedback on errors, no mistakes detection (and I do a lot ;)), not confident of all the ways a respected). I would like to keep the control on the navigation system. And I prefer drawing the path than all the possibles barriers of the buildings that I model.

We build a proof of concept model for this a while ago. It uses a Process Flow that is more or less modeled after the AGV elevator Process Flow. It creates a preempting task sequence for the task executer when it needs to use the elevator.

We even have a video showcasing the model (In German with English subtitles available).

As I said, the model is mostly a proof of concept. But it might serve as a starting point to integrate more complex features (multiple travellers per trip, request prioritization, etc.)
