US 2017/0286578 A1 · BAGGAGE LOADING SIMULATOR SYSTEM AND METHODS

Abstract

A non-transitory machine-readable medium of a computing device storing an application for simulating the loading of an airframe. The application includes an airframe input module that receives an airframe file having a seat having a seat location and a bin having a bin location and a bin dimensions. The application further includes a passenger profile input module that receives a passenger profile file having a list of passenger profiles, a passenger selection module that selects a passenger from the list of passenger profiles and associates the passenger with the seat, a bag selection module that selects a bag profile from a bag profile file and associates it with the passenger, a bag placement module that simulates placing the bag into the bin based on the bin dimensions, bin location, and bag profile, and an output module that outputs and stores a simulation output associating the bag and the bin.

Dependent claims

A non-transitory machine-readable medium of a computing device storing an application for simulating the loading of an airframe, the application comprising:

an airframe input module configured to receive a first airframe file representing a first airframe, the first airframe file having a first seat and a first bin, the first seat having a first seat location and the first bin having a first bin location and a first bin dimensions,
a passenger profile input module configured to receive a passenger profile file having a list of passenger profiles,
a passenger selection module configured to select from the list of passenger profiles a first passenger, and to associate the first passenger with the first seat,
a bag selection module configured to select a first bag profile from a bag profile file and to associate the first bag with the first passenger,
a bag placement module configured to simulate the placement of the first bag into the first bin based on the first bin dimensions, the first bin location, and the first bag profile, and
an output module configured to output and store a first simulation output,
wherein the first simulation output associates the first bag with the first bin.
