Review the information and create an algorithm that optimizes the number of security screening stations that must be open to serve passengers at the Colorado Springs Airport without exceeding a specified wait time threshold. Share your algorithm and prepare a response to each of the questions below.
• What is your understanding of the problem?
• What you are being tasked to solve?
• Explain your process for understanding the airport screening process, including the tasks you have identified as occurring sequentially and the tasks which can occur in parallel.
• How did you calculate the overall flow-time on a per-passenger basis?
• How will you ensure that the algorithm is meeting the three-hour rule for station open/close?
• How would you test your algorithm to ensure it is efficient and effective?
• What additional data (if any) would you request to help further optimize your algorithm?
• How would you redesign the system to be adaptive instead of deterministic?
• What are the advantages of doing so?
