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