Max PAX Explained

<< < (6/10) > >>

EHM-1077 Emanuele:
Thank you fimfim, and welcome aboard.

A dynamic system like the one you propose
it's kind of interesting, because it would free
us from the need to collect a lot of real world
data.

On the other hand, any dynamic system will
have balancing problems. Think about having
a bunch of bottles half-filled with liquids
and connected by tubes to one another.
Then think about bringing the whole thing
on a ship in high seas. The liquids will flow
caothically from bottle to bottle without
too much logic, up to the point where big
bottles might be completely empty and
smaller bottles might be overflowing.

Out of the metaphore, we might end up
with big cities with no demand/supply and
small cities with an insane amount of
passengers flowing in and out!

Anyway, it's a very interesting and different
idea from the direction we were looking at
in the previous posts.

Maybe some kind of hybrid solution will
do. Something to think about.

Thanks for your input.

Ciao ciao!

I had been thinking of something like that too but because of the problem i did not mention it........besides that could call for limiting the routes that can be flown to the pilots which is not very good........the most realistic solution that i can see would be to find out the current trend, which gives you the demand for that route, and then divided by the number of flights flown that day.......which creates a hybrid of the two systems, but essentially combines the problems facing both solutions........back to thinking again!

And oh about fimfim's suggestion again, what if the next day only 1 flight was made, doesn't that mean that all flights on the next day would be loaded with 100 passengers? and if like 7 flights were made on the third day, wouldn't that be 700 passengers carried total, far exceeding the demand? Therefore i think that the number of passengers onboard should not be dependent on the previous day's flights........

Instead how about leaving the passengers carried blank and calculate it based on the number of flights that day and fill in the value at the end of the day? But then in this way the pilot won't know how many passengers they've carried till the next day.......

Wassup guys... I have been following ur conversation...

I'll make this very simple....

On the euroharmony website, there is this link called "PILOTS"....  ok..

When you click on that, magicly appears the link "FLEET"   ok...

by some weird circumstances, on the FLEET pages, all the EH planes in use are listed...even weirder, is that there a page for every on of this planes.... ok..

Now comes the good part.....

On each such pages, there a complete list of the planes specs.   ...ok ..

Now comes the realy good part...

In that same specs list, theres that little section that says : Capacity (PAX) ...

And there it is people... the max amount each plane can have... so if it says 25, you can put 25 or less....it's ur own decision....

want an example..??  

BOEING 747-400:
Planes In Fleet 16
Length 70.67 m
Wingspan 64.44 m
Height 19.41 m
Engines RR RB-211
Power 4x 266.9 kN
Cruise Speed 490 kts
Service Ceiling 45000 ft
Range 7135 nm
MTOW 385.5 t
Capacity (pax) 416


I hope I've Helped you guys out a bit ..
Have Fun Flying  :]

uh.........i think we all know that! ;)

We're just discussing ways to generate passenger numbers on board a plane in a dynamic and realistic way

Was just wondering, what's weird about displaying all the aircrafts on that page with a page for each and everyone of them?

EHM-1367 Oscar:
Hello,
I think it would be too hard or even impossible to get real life frequently updated statistics of every route. Of course, if it's possible then it's the best. I think we are limited to the EuroHarmony world because of the statistics we get from the pireps.

Or - why not get real statistics for 2 weeks only plus certain holidays, and then loop it? So that the PAX would be determined from holiday or not/day of the week/time of the day and such. To that som deviation could be added so the numbers wouldn't repeat completely.

That wouldn't be 100% realistic as the traffic on a route may change, but it could be updated every 3 month or something , that update would also help summer/winter-differences (charter routes and such).


Thank you.
