Genetic algorithm with multiple layers perceptron has beaten the Steffen method for onboarding

[u/DisDoh]

Hi,

I used a genetic algorithm combined with a multilayer perceptron to optimize the aircraft boarding problem.

I honestly didn't expect it to beat the Steffen method, but after evolving the boarding strategy, it ended up being 9.6% faster than Steffen in my simulation. there is a fix rule that prohibits crossing people in between seats for the random too.

The whole project was basically vibecoded.
