BoardingSimulator

A model to visualize and benchmark different plane boarding methods

The default boarding types are:

• Random
• WindowMA
• WMAGroups
• BackToFront
• FrontToBack
• SteffenOptimal
• SteffenModified
• SimulationOptimal

Benchmarking

Benchmarking a method is really easy:

BenchmarkTools.benchmark("Random", 100)

will bench Random boarding 100 times.

Animating a boarding process

If you want to see an animation of the boarding, start with:

BenchmarkTools.write("Random", "random.txt")

This will create text file that you can run through AsciiAnimator to visualize.

Creating your own boarding methods

Refer to BoardingMethods.py to create your own boarding methods.
