Exercise n.4
1 - Create the use case diagram according to the following elevator control system
functional requirements:

1. The elevator control system shall allow the passenger to call the elevator and to select the destination
floor;
2. When the passenger pushes the external button (to call the elevator), or the internal button (to select the
destination floor), the central control system switches the button light on;
3. When the passenger calls the elevator or selects the destination floor, the central control system
opens/closes the elevator door;
4. When the passenger calls the elevator or selects the destination floor, the central control system
moves/stops the elevator to/at the passenger call floor or to/at the passenger destination floor.
5. When the passenger leaves the elevator, the central control system switches the button light off.

Also, describe the use case “Select Floor” by specifying:

• Use case name
• Participating actors
• Description
• Entry conditions
• Flow of events (see use case description at point 3. Pay attention: consider JUST the
interface events)
• Exit conditions

2 - Create the Class diagram of the elevator control system.

3 - According to the following description of the “Select Floor” use case, create the
1) Sequence, the 2) Collaboration and the 3) Activity diagram:
1. The passenger pushes the destination floor button (internal button);
2. The internal button sends the system the order to select the direction (up/down);
3. The system changes the elevator status (from idle to busy);
4.The system switches the floor button (internal button) light on;
5. The system closes the elevator door;
6. The system moves the elevator according to the destination floor direction (up/down);
7. The elevator sends the system the order to control if the floor that the elevator is going to get through is
the destination one;
8. The system stops the elevator at the destination floor;
9. The system opens the door at the destination floor;
10. The passenger moves outside the elevator;
11. The system switches the internal button off.

4 - Create the Statechart diagram of the object “Elevator”.
