Optimal boarding method for airline passengers
Using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo optimization algorithm and a computer simulation, I find the passenger ordering which minimizes the time required to board the passengers onto an airplane. The model that I employ assumes that the time that a passenger requires to load his or her luggage is the dominant contribution to the time needed to completely fill the aircraft. The optimal boarding strateg...
متن کاملAuthenticating airline passengers - IEEE Potentials
0278-6648/03/$17.00 © 2003 IEEE 33 he events of 11 September 2001 sent a ripple of fear across the United States. The US government sought to alleviate the increased concerns by enforcing strict security in airports, government buildings and athletic stadiums; however, with any security there is a price. For airline passengers that price was long lines caused by multiple security checks placed ...
متن کاملPreemptive rerouting of airline passengers under uncertain delays
An airline’s operational disruptions can lead to flight delays that in turn impact passengers, not only through the delays themselves but also through possible missed connections. Since the length of a delay is often not known in advance, we consider preemptive rerouting of airline passengers before the length of the delay is realized. Our goal is to reaccommodate passengers proactively as soon...
متن کاملHow Effective Is Security Screening of Airline Passengers?
With a simple mathematical model, we explored the antiterrorist effectiveness of airport passenger prescreening systems. Supporters of these systems often emphasize the need to identify the most suspicious passengers, but they ignore the point that such identification does little good unless dangerous items can actually be detected. Critics often focus on terrorists’ ability to probe the system...
متن کاملOptimal back-to-front airplane boarding.
The problem of finding an optimal back-to-front airplane boarding policy is explored, using a mathematical model that is related to the 1+1 polynuclear growth model with concave boundary conditions and to causal sets in gravity. We study all airplane configurations and boarding group sizes. Optimal boarding policies for various airplane configurations are presented. Detailed calculations are pr...
