1//! SCAN (elevator) dispatch algorithm — sweeps end-to-end before reversing.
2//!
3//! Originally described for disk-arm scheduling in Denning, P. J. (1967),
4//! "Effects of Scheduling on File Memory Operations", *Proc. AFIPS Spring
5//! Joint Computer Conference*, 9–21. The same sweep discipline is the
6//! textbook "elevator" algorithm.

16/// Elevator dispatch using the SCAN (elevator) algorithm.
17///
18/// Each car tracks a sweep direction; stops demanded in that direction
19/// receive a positional cost while stops behind are excluded. When
20/// nothing remains ahead, the sweep reverses and the car considers the
21/// reverse side. Direction and mode are resolved once per pass in
22/// [`DispatchStrategy::prepare_car`] so ranking is independent of the
23/// iteration order over stops.
