1//! Estimated Time to Destination (ETD) dispatch algorithm.
2//!
3//! The per-call cost-minimization approach is drawn from Barney, G. C. &
4//! dos Santos, S. M., *Elevator Traffic Analysis, Design and Control* (2nd
5//! ed., 1985). Commercial controllers (Otis Elevonic, KONE Polaris, etc.)
6//! use variants of the same idea; this implementation is a simplified
7//! educational model, not a faithful reproduction of any vendor's system.
