1. A process executable by a controller device that controls an elevator, the process comprising:

  • receiving a request at the controller device to stop the elevator at a requested floor;

    receiving, by the controller device, sensor data from a sensor that is associated with elevator;

    processing the sensor data by the controller device to determine a current spatial occupancy of the elevator; and

    directing the elevator to bypass the requested floor if the current spatial occupancy exceeds a threshold amount to prevent a delay in arriving at a destination floor of the elevator, and otherwise directing the elevator to stop at the requested floor.
