Abstract
An example operation includes one or more of determining one or more objects in a transport that may become airborne and altering a portion of the transport to minimize the one or more objects from becoming airborne during a collision.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving sensor data from a hardware sensor installed within an interior of a transport;
- identifying one or more objects that are currently within the interior of the transport and parameters of the one or more objects including sharp edges of the one or more objects based on the sensor data;
- determining flying object danger parameters of the one or more objects within the transport based on the parameters of the one or more objects including the sharp edges identified from the sensor data;
- determining an object among the one or more objects that may become airborne based on the flying object danger parameters of the one or more objects;
- determining, via a processor within a configuration of the transport, a structure of the configuration of the transport to alter to secure the object based on a location of the object within the transport;
- displaying a notification on an occupant device with an identifier of the object and an identifier of the structure of the transport to alter to secure the object;
- altering the structure of the configuration of the transport to secure the object;
- and
- transmitting an acknowledgement from the processor within the configuration of the transport to a transport computer which indicates the object has been secured.

A system, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor communicably coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:
- receive sensor data from a hardware sensor installed within an interior of a transport;
- identify one or more objects that are currently within the interior of the transport and parameters of the one or more objects including sharp edges of the one or more objects based on the sensor data;
- determine flying object danger parameters of the one or more objects within the transport based on the parameters of the one or more objects including the sharp edges identified from the sensor data;
- determine an object among the one or more objects that may become airborne based on the flying object danger parameters of the one or more objects;
- determine, via a processor of a configuration of the transport, a structure of the configuration of the transport to alter to secure the object based on a location of the object within the transport;
- display a notification on an occupant device with an identifier of the object and an identifier of the structure of the transport to alter to secure the object;
- alter the structure of the configuration of the transport to secure the object;
- and
- transmit an acknowledgement from the processor within the configuration of the transport to a transport computer which indicates the object has been secured.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:
- receiving sensor data from a hardware sensor installed within an interior of a transport;
- identifying one or more objects that are currently within the interior of the transport and parameters of the one or more objects including sharp edges of the one or more objects based on the sensor data;
- determining flying object danger parameters of the one or more objects within the transport based on the parameters of the one or more objects including the sharp edges identified from the sensor data;
- determining an object among the one or more objects that may become airborne based on the flying object danger parameters of the one or more objects;
- determining, via a processor within a configuration of the transport, a structure of the configuration of the transport to alter to secure the object based on a location of the object within the transport;
- displaying a notification on an occupant device with an identifier of the object and an identifier of the structure of the transport to alter to secure the object;
- altering the structure of the configuration of the transport to secure the object;
- and
- transmitting an acknowledgement from the processor within the configuration of the transport to the transport computer which indicates the object has been secured.
