Its about time

The Compass destination entry system uses timely and specific information to assign each passenger to the right elevator. Cars are dispatched directly to the requested floors. The system constantly monitors real-time passenger origin and destination data to dynamically assign cars. As a result, the system better accommodates changing traffic patterns throughout the day. Whether its the morning rush or a busy lunch hour, the Compass system provides the most direct means to your destination.

The system assigns passengers traveling to nearby floors to the same elevator. This reduces the number of stops per trip. It also decreases travel time and prevents crowded cars.
