Max PAX Explained
EHM-0188 Andy:
I know of 2 existing tools for calculating the number of passengers.
1. Seats 2.0 from Michael Lyons
I tried it but I'm not able of changing the planes in the setup
2. Booking system from Ray Porteous for use with the VA Administrator software
(not freeware)
EHM-1077 Emanuele:
The idea of changing the number of
passengers according to the trends
is quite cool and wouldn't have to be
implemented on the pilot's side, it
could be done on the server side.
The problem is: how do you find the
current trends? How do you find how
many passengers tend to fly between
London and Paris at any given time?
Or for any other location served by
EuroHarmony?

EHM-1123 Dejan:
That's a good angle, making 'trends', hmmm..
Maybe to make it simpler, we should divide destinations into classes also, say 6-10 different, and calculate approx trend, given departure and destination index and some constant.
Example :
Schiphol >Class 1 > coefficient 9
Okecie > Class 5 > coefficient 5
Plane class(capacity) approx. 220
Passengers leaving: 9*5=45 percent, (there could be interval also, +-3-5%)
meaning plane will leave with 99 pax for Warsaw .....
Just a basic thought.
EHM-1077 Emanuele:
That would be pretty elegant, but
if we knew so precisely how many
passengers fly between two location
just because of the size of the location,
we'd probably used a smaller plane,
wouldn't we? I wish we could find
some "live" data somewhere... or
past data we can extrapolate random
but not completely groundeless numbers
from....
Ciao ciao!

EHM-0962 Zhen Yi:
Hmm....or how about human labour? Form a group of people who decide how the current trends are running? Doesn't exactly fit into EuroHarmony's automation but well it could be a temporary solution till there is a live source found......
