Description
Airlines have introduced a back-to-front boarding process in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We performed pedestrian dynamics simulation using the Constrained Linear Movement (CALM) model to simulate people boarding a 144-seat Airbus 320 airplane using different boarding procedures, including back to front. This data set contains input files, code, and output files from the simulations containing the trajectories of passengers for a parameter sweep consisting of thousands of simulations. It also contains code to perform analysis of the output to determine passenger contacts.

1. A user will need to run the codes on machines with the Message Passing Interface (MPI) installed.
