I Objective
To design a 3 level elevator management system.
II Introduction
An elevator or lift is a vertical transport vehicle that efficiently moves people or goods between floors of a building,
ship or other structure. They are generally powered by electric motors that drives traction cables on a counterweight
systems. It consists of a car mounted on a platform within an enclosed space called a hoistway. The cars are pulled
up by means of rolling steel ropes over a deeply grooved pulley, commonly called a sheave in the industry. The weight
of the car is balanced with a counterweight to reduce amount of torque that the motor needs to provide.
III Design

• DC Motor: Used to control vertical motion of the car.
• Servo motor: Used to open and close elevator door

• LCD: Displays current status of the elevator
• 4×4 Keypad: Provides input inside and outside the elevator.
• Motor Driver: Used to drive DC motor
