Waimakariri Hurunui Thursday <strong>June</strong> <strong>23</strong> <strong>2022</strong> 5 Young mathematicians best in the world • From page 1 “They took the approach of mathematically modelling the variables and the boarding process, then wrote a complex computer program in Python to run simulations of the boarding process over and over again. “This enabled them to try different boarding strategies and see how they reacted to changing variables like the disobedience coefficient, passengers with carry-on luggage, or groups,” said Adams. After running thousands of trials and analysing the results, the students were able to settle on a strategy. “This took them five full days, including the time taken to produce a professional and polished report summarising their process and findings. “They did an incredible job.” The students found three factors contributed to the time taken to board an aircraft, including the walking speed of passengers, the time taken to stow overhead luggage with passengers blocking the aisle while doing so, and passengers getting out of their seats to allow other passengers in the same row. After running 10,000 trials, they found that the most optimal order of boarding was aft, middle, and front. Using this method the mean time taken to fill up a narrow-body airplane was Light Festival SIMULATION: Team members Toby Harvie, Luke Zhu, Corin Simcock, and Tom Edwards spent five days simulating different boarding and disembarking methods of narrow and wide body aircraft, generating a randomised queue of passengers to determine the most optimal method.

They also tested boarding by seat type, seating all passengers with a window seat first, the middle next, and aisle seats last.

However, this was found to be unworkable in practice due to the separation of groups, particularly in the case of children and the elderly. The random boarding method, while seemly crude and inefficient, was found to be reasonably effective. It took passengers 1-2 July Victoria park, rangiora Experience a light & sound wonderland.

When it came to exiting the aircraft the optimal method for a narrow-body aircraft was found to be disembarking from back to the front by row. It was found to be the quickest due to having the greatest aisle flow. This is opposite to the “front to back” boarding method, which is employed by most airlines and was found to be the slowest disembarking method. The best method of choice to immediately speed up passengers boarding and disembarking in a standard narrow-body aircraft was for passengers to be boarded using the WMA method – window seats board first, followed by middle seats and then aisle seats, but that groups board together, minimising aisle blockages and allowing optimal aisle flow, and should disembark giving the right of way to passengers coming from the back. Both methods minimise aisle blockages, and allow optimal aisle flow. In a wide-body aircraft, they found the optimal boarding method was by section – from back to front, while disembarking using the “across” method, similar to the method for a narrow aircraft, where passengers furthest from the door get right of way. Adams said: “The team’s creativity, teamwork and mathematical skill make them a standout and it will be exciting to see where they go to from here”. The results of the study have been collated in a 20-page report and made available for airline executives. —NZ Herald Outstanding dental care Late Nights & Sunday appointments available Dentistry Payment Plans Available ACC, WINZ quotes, Southern Cross Easy-claim www.loxodental.co.nz that you can trust The experienced team at Loxo Dental can assist with a wide range of dental procedures, and pride themselves on being one of the few dental clinics in Christchurch open on Sundays. • Restorative Dentistry • Dental Hygienist • Surgical Extractions • Implant Restorations • Root Canal Treatments • Oral Medicine • Cosmetic Dentistry • Emergency treatment • Intravenous Sedation • Wisdom Teeth Removal • Invisalign • Dentures 17 Northcote Rd, Papanui, Christchurch.
