Interesting question. Makes me want to do some research on this as well.

Wiki has a reference to a book Barney, G. (2003, January). Elevator Traffic Handbook: Theory and PracticeElevator Traffic Handbook: Theory and Practice. ISBN 9780415274760.

Here's a snippet from Wiki (you might have seen it already). "The elevator algorithm has found an application in computer operating systems as an algorithm for scheduling hard disk requests. Modern elevators use more complex heuristic algorithms to decide which request to service next. An introduction to these algorithms can be found in the "Elevator traffic handbook: theory and practice" given in the references below."
