Abstract : he elevator control system serves as a crucial element in modern infrastructures, facilitating the vertical movement of individuals within buildings efficiently and securely. Finite State Machines (FSMs) offer a method to model the behavior of elevators, capturing transitions between distinct states such as stationary, ascending, descending, and door operations. This paper presents the design of a simplified elevator control system employing FSM principles, accompanied by python code for intuitive visualization of the elevator's status and functionalities. The FSM model encompasses states including Stopped, Moving Up, Moving Down, Opening Doors, and Closing Doors, each characterized by specific transitions triggered by user commands or operational requirements. Through this approach, the system achieves robustness, responsiveness, and adaptability to varying usage scenarios, ensuring safe and efficient elevator operations in diverse building environment.
