Computer Science Final Year Topic: Design and Evaluation of Formal Model of a Lift Controller

This Computer Science final year project investigates checking safety properties of a simplified multi-floor lift state machine, with an explicit prototype scope and a reproducible evaluation plan.

Why choose this project topic?

The practical value of this topic lies in checking safety properties of a simplified multi-floor lift state machine. It gives a student a demonstrable computing problem, with property violations, reachable states and verification time providing concrete evidence for a critical project discussion.

Can model checking identify conflicting door and movement states in a bounded lift controller?

Agree the available tools, workload size and evaluation criteria with your supervisor; adapt checking safety properties of a simplified multi-floor lift state machine to a clearly bounded institutional or laboratory setting.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Specify the requirements and assumptions for checking safety properties of a simplified multi-floor lift state machine.
  2. 02Specify states and transitions, express safety and liveness properties and compare correct and intentionally faulty models under bounded requests.
  3. 03Evaluate property violations, reachable states and verification time against a documented baseline and discuss failure cases.

A suggested research approach

Specify states and transitions, express safety and liveness properties and compare correct and intentionally faulty models under bounded requests. Record the chosen implementation, dataset construction and repeatable test conditions before comparing property violations, reachable states and verification time. Keep development and evaluation cases separate where possible, and retain failed cases in the analysis rather than reporting only successful demonstrations.

What you will need

  • State-machine specification
  • Model checking tool
  • Documented fault variants

Keep your project scope clear

A verified abstract model is not certification of real lift hardware or operational safety. A project write-up does not supply a working application.
