- Title
Modeling transverse train seat occupation with one-dimensional potential barriers.
- Authors
Barretto, Jerry T.
- Abstract
Occupation of a six-seat row in a train is described using potential barriers. Assuming that the row is filled one seat at a time, a seating model is constructed using seat occupation probabilities based on a seat's ability to preserve passenger privacy. Introducing potentials associated with these probabilities for each seat on the row gives rise to a symmetric, multi-step potential barrier. Transmission and tunneling through these barriers are then used to describe likelihood of moving to adjacent or non-adjacent seats.
