The mobile impaired persons are also able to access go to their assigned cars prior to travel thanks to the assignment nature of the destination controls.Minimal duration of waiting. The destination controls restricts stopping of cars to floors that don’t have traffic. Moreover, the passengers are allocated to the cars depending on the floorthey are headed to. When a car arrives at a floor it picks passengers that have a common destination. This reduces inappropriate stops to floors that maybe one passenger is travelling to. This feature reduces the time of transit from one destination to the other. Enhanced comfort of passengers. The ability of the destination control to assign passengers transiting to the same destination to a common car eliminates the normal struggles through a crowd of people to press on the button for a specific floor. Once the passengers get into a car the only stop is their destination. A passenger is also able to choose his or her own car of comfort to travel from one floor to the other.

Comfort of a passenger is enhanced in that a car is assigned to carry a specified number of passengers thereby giving more space to the passengers. Overcrowding is avoided extremely.
