MceSim(Multi-Car Elevator Simulator) is a simulator for muti-car elevator systems. It was developed for the CST solution competitions (2007 and 2008(in Japanese)) by miyamoto.
Details of MceSim is described in the following article:

In elevator systems, a box in which persons or objects are loaded is called a `car', and the space where a car can move vertically is called a `shaft'. In normal elevator systems, a car is installed for each shaft.
In a multi-car system, several cars are installed for a shaft.
