Passengers landing at Heathrow airport need to go through passport control checks in order to enter the UK. EU and UK nationals use a fast-track system. where they scan their passport at a self-service station. where queue times average 20 minutes with 5 minutes standard deviation. Non-UKrEU nationals need to have their passports checked by the UK Border Force. a process that is often longer. with queue times averaging 30 minutes and approximately 15 minutes standard deviation. The rate of change of the number of passengers queueing within the borders of Heathrow airport for passport control can be approximated as: dN 3:313452'3'3: where X; is a random variable representing the number of passengers arriving at Heathrow per hour. if; is a rand om variable representing the number of passengers that have gone through passport control per hour. and x, Is a random variable representing the number of transit passengers. In more detail. the random variable X2 can be modelled as: X: = \"osros + \"arm where no; is the number of staffed gates open for overseas passengers and r0; Is the number of passengers a certain gate can service per hour. Similarly. up Is the number of gates open for UKJEU nationals. and r\" is the rate of passengers going through that gate per hour. Table 3 shows a monthly breakdown of the nationalities of passengers arriving at London Heathrow airport throughout 2019. and Table ll shows the total number of terminal and transit passengers at London airports in 2019. a} [5%] FII'Id a SUIIEDIB approximation for the number Of transit passengers X3 at the airport. Show the mean and variance of this random variable. [3} [35%] Estimate the number of gates that need to be open in order to ensure the queues of passengers waiting to go through passport control does not increase with time. Use the data in the tables provided alongside realistic estimates for the rate at which passengers go through the two types of passport control gates {H om evae rseas). c) [35%] Build a mathematical model to predict how passport control queues change as a function of the number and type of tills open. Consider the uncertainty of your model. Based on your model, recommend a till opening strategy for the airport. TABLE 3. HEATHROW MONTHLY TRAFFIC STATISTICS BY NATIONALITY (2019).
