Aircraft passenger flow system

An apparatus comprising:

• a bus system;
• a memory connected to the bus system;
• and
• a processor unit connected to the bus system and configured to run a program to receive a three-dimensional model of a passenger cabin to identify a plurality of three-dimensional features in the three-dimensional model of the passenger cabin in response to receiving the three-dimensional model of the passenger cabin;
• generate a first plurality of three-dimensional objects for the plurality of three-dimensional features in the passenger cabin using the three-dimensional model of the passenger cabin;
• receive user input identifying a number of characteristics for a plurality of passengers;
• generate a second plurality of three-dimensional objects for the plurality of passengers using the number of characteristics, wherein the second plurality of three-dimensional objects is assigned to a plurality of seats within the passenger cabin, wherein each of the second plurality of three-dimensional objects is assigned a destination location and has a behavior when encountering an obstacle while moving from a current location to the destination location;
• simulate a movement of the plurality of passengers to a number of locations relative to the plurality of seats assigned to the plurality of passengers using the first plurality of three-dimensional objects and the second plurality of three-dimensional objects;
• and generate and display a video illustration of the movement of the plurality of passengers moving to the number of locations in a three-dimensional representation of the passenger cabin.
