These options assist in modelling installations where an elevator becomes unavailable if it remains idle for a specified shutdown time. If the dispatcher allocates a call to an elevator which has shut down, it will not respond until the restart time has expired. This mimics the operation of older installations with motor generator sets. It can also be used to model the energy savings associated with modern controllers which have a low energy standby mode.
To disable the feature, set both shutdown time and restart time to 0.
