1.4 Overview
A building needs software to control its elevator system. There are five elevators of three
types. Each of the three elevator types has its unique behavior. The building itself has
different types of floors, which also change the behavior of the elevators.
Three types of users can gain access to the elevators: guest users, users with a priority card
and emergency personnel using a key. There are access terminals provided for all three
users on all floors. In addition there is a control terminal in the lobby.
There are special rules for the behavior of the different elevator types depending on the
floor they are located, what action they are performing or just completed and what their
current status is.

1.5 SRS Standard

1.5.1 Layout
The layout of the SRS will conform to the IEEE standard IEEE Std 830-1998. Additional
sections are included according to the Software Requirement Engineering Process by
Prem and Lanman.
1.5.2 Organization
The SRS requirements will be organized by objects. The objects in the EPR are the three
elevator types. A forth type, a generic elevator, is added in the SRS.
First the generic elevator object will be described. It includes all requirements in common
to the other three elevator types. Then the other three elevator types are discussed after
each other, each time describing their unique requirements.
2 Overall Description
2.1 Product Perspective
The EPR is the software control for a five elevator system with independent control units
in each elevator car and one master control in the lobby.
The elevator project is a special order software system. It will only be used in the stated
configuration of elevators and floors.

2.1.1 System Interfaces
Interface to the system is provided at two different levels for users, with an additional level
for control.
At teach floor there are three methods to call elevators to the floor. They are call buttons
for guests, card access for priority users and key access for emergency personnel. At the
floor level, all the access methods will do is call an elevator to the floor and make it open
its doors.
-7-

Team 2
4/23/2003
MSE530
Inside the elevator there is a panel with buttons for all floors. Pressing them will make the
elevator go to the desired floor, as long as there are no restrictions on the user. In addition
there is a card reader and a key access port inside the elevator. These two control methods
allow prioritized usage of the elevator.
In the hotel security office there is a master control terminal. It gives direct access to
movements and behavior of all elevators.
2.1.2 User Interfaces
There are four different ways for a user to interact with the system:
Guest User: The guest user is the most typical user of the elevator system. On each
floor there are up and down call buttons for the elevators. Depending on which way
to go and which elevator type used, the user presses on of the call buttons. Once in
the elevator the user chooses his destination by pressing the appropriate key inside
the card. The elevator moves to the desired floor and the user disembarks.
Card User: A card user has priority over other users. At a floor the user uses his
access card in one of the card readers for on of the three elevator types. The
elevator arrives and the user enters. In the elevator, the user inserts the card into the
card reader and leaves it there. As long as the card is in the reader the user has
control over the elevator. He can choose to move to different floors by pressing the
appropriate button the elevators control panel. Once the elevator arrives on the
destination floor, it will remain there until the card is removed or the user moves it
to another floor. Total control will remain with the user until a higher priority user,
like a key user, takes command of the elevator.
Emergency Personnel: By US law, emergency personnel must have access to all
elevators using a key. At all floors there are key holes for the emergency personnel
to call the elevator. Once inside the user inserts the key into the elevator panel and
gets control over the elevator as if he were a card user. The only difference is that a
key user has total control. He cannot be overruled by any other users.
Master Control Panel: The master control panel is located in the security office. It
gives emergency access to the elevators. It can move any elevator to any floor as
long as it is not under control of a key user. It overrules all other users. Once on a
floor the elevator will wait there either for a user or until it is released by the
control panel.
2.1.3 Hardware Interfaces

On each elevator car there is a process responsible for it. It performs all elevator functions
needed for a one elevator system. If the elevator is by itself, this hardware is able to make
the elevator function properly.
In the lobby there is a master control panel, which controls the five elevators as a system of
elevators. This hardware has to work in conjunction with the onboard chips.

2.1.4 Communication Interfaces

The main control panel shall communicate with the onboard processor. It shall do so in a
safe way. It can request actions for the onboard processor, but the decision to comply with
the request shall remain with the onboard processor.
In the event of a communication failure individual elevators shall remain functional as one
elevator systems.
2.1.5 Memory Constraints
The implementation of the onboard software is constrained by the capabilities of the
processor and its memory size.
The master control in the lobby does not have any constraints.
2.1.6 Operations
Besides the normal behavior of elevators related to responding to a call and moving to the
destination floor of the passenger, the elevators have idle behavior and special behavior
according to their type.
Movement of the three guest elevators is coordinated using a minimum wait first,
minimum travel second algorithm. In other words, the elevator will minimize the amount
of a time a passenger has to wait for an elevator. In case of a tie between elevators or
passengers, the elevator will be picked, which has the minimum travel to the user.
When idle all elevators will return to their home floor, where they will open their doors
and wait for passengers. Depending on the type of the elevator the home floor is different.
The express elevator is special in another sense, as it does not always open its door when
waiting on a floor.
The onboard processor in each elevator car also sends messages about its status to the
master control panel in the security office. It also responds to commands received from
there.
Some floors like the presidential floor and the service level can only be reached using
certain access types. This is done for security reasons.
In case of a power outage or other unforeseen problems, the elevators will sink to the next
lower floor and open their doors, if possible.
2.2 Product Function

2.2.1 User Characteristics
Guest users are assumed to have no experience with elevators. All controls on an elevator
should be intuitive to a person, who knows what elevators do, but has never used one.
-9-

Team 2
4/23/2003
MSE530
Card and key access is only used by trained users. Operation of these methods shall be
simple enough so that operators can train each other.
2.2.2 Constraints
The project is safety critical. Under no circumstances shall a user of the system be harmed
or harm others through proper or improper use of the elevators.
The project shall conform to any rules for elevators in place in the United Sates of
America.
3 Specific Requirements
3.1 External Interfaces
The external interfaces of the EPR system are relative to the five elevators which contain
independent control units in each car, and one master control. These interfaces are
described below:
3.1.1 User Interface
The User Interface defines the human-computer interaction of the EPR system. The system
requires interaction from various users:
The standard guest user interacts with the button interface within the car, and the
outside panels
The special guest user interacts with the system with a card-key (soft-key) inside
the car in order to be given special preference
The emergency personnel user interacts with the system with a hard-key inside and
outside of the system in order to be given complete control of all elevators
The master control user interacts with the system within the master control unit.
This person is given special preference privileges (usually reserved for maintenance
crew or building managers)
3.1.2 Hardware Interface
The software shall interface with the electromechanical machinery that controls the
elevator's movements. The software shall interface with a breaking mechanism in case of
emergencies. The opening/closing of doors shall be controlled by the software based on
sensor inputs. The hardware interface is supported by the main control panels (buttons,
key accesses, and micro-controller communications).
3.1.3 Software Interface
Software interface is supported by the main control panels and operating system in which
hosts the algorithms for calculating distributed travel and wait time information.
Additionally, the algorithms define and export system commands for main control panels,
and micro-controller. For testing purposes the software shall be capable of interfacing with
software simulators on a PC computer using GUI applications.

4 Software Attributes
4.1 Reliability
The system is safety critical. If it moves out of normal operation mode, the requirement to
drop to the next lower floor and open its doors is given priority. This emergency behavior
shall not occur without reason.
4.2 Availability
When in normal operating conditions, request by a user for an elevator shall be handled
within 1 second. Immediate feedback of the systems activities shall be communicated to
the user by lighting the call button pressed.
At peek system load, individual users at either the control panel in the security office, at
the call buttons or inside the elevator shall not experience any delay in the elevators
response to their commands longer than 1 second.
4.3 Security
There shall be no security mechanisms in place to keep unwanted users out of the system.
However, all users of the system shall not be able to perform actions or request actions
from the elevator system, which will cause harm to any person or damage to the system or
its environment.
4.4 Maintainability
1. There shall be design documents describing the internal works of the software.
2. There shall be an access on the control panel and inside the elevators for the
purpose of upgrading the software or flashing any firmware.
4.5 Portability
There are no portability requirements.
4.6 Requirement Organization

All requirements shall be organized according to object. First general requirements for all
elevator types shall be described. Following are sections for each elevator type and their
special requirements. Last are requirements related to other objects like the elevator control
panel and any others.

6 Appendix
6.1 Change Control
Requirement changes shall be documented in the form of an RSF. The RSF trace number
shall be extended by one level and an alphabetic character shall be appended to indicate a
changed requirement. For example a change in REQ.100 will result in REQ.100.A, if it is
the first changed version of the requirement. The SRS shall be changed according to the
new requirements. The old RSFs shall be placed under version control along with the old
SRS. At any one time there shall only be one SRS and RSF document with no duplicate
requirements in them. All previous changes to requirements shall be in previous SRS and
RSF versions.
RSF Form Instructions:
This version of a Requirement Specification Form is used for both elicited and derived
requirements. To distinguish between the two types the RSF identifier is used. Elicited
requirements have identifiers with only one number. Derived requirements have two or
more numbers. These numbers represent the requirement s they are derived from.
Example:
R023
R023-001
R023 is an elicited requirement, because it is at level one. R023-001 is a derived
requirement form R023. There is no limit on the length of the chain of reference with the
RSF number.
