PROCESS AND DEVICE FOR PASSENGER CABIN LAYOUT
First Claim
1. Process for determining the distribution of seats of a passenger cabin, whereby said cabin comprises at least one row of seats arranged essentially one behind the other along a longitudinal axis, whereby said cabin comprises means for arranging each seat in a position on the ground among a set of possible positions spaced longitudinally at known intervals,characterized in that said process comprises a phase for optimization of the spacing of seats according to an overall comfort function of passengers for a given trip, said function taking into account characteristics that are specific to at least some of said passengers,whereby said phase for optimization of the space between the seats and for assigning seats to passengers uses an algorithm for optimization under constraints.

Abstract
A process for determining the distribution of seats of a passenger cabin, whereby the cabin includes at least one row of seats arranged essentially one behind the other along a longitudinal axis, and the cabin includes element for arranging each seat in a position on the ground among a set of possible positions spaced longitudinally at known intervals, includes a phase for optimization of the spacing of seats according to an overall comfort function of passengers, taking into account bodily characteristics that are specific to at least some of the passengers, including the length of the front segment of the passengers'"'"' legs, and the purpose of the optimization is to maximize a comfort function taking into account in particular the space that is free for each passenger between his knees and the seat that is located in front of him. The purpose of the invention is also the related device.

1. Process for determining the distribution of seats of a passenger cabin, whereby said cabin comprises at least one row of seats arranged essentially one behind the other along a longitudinal axis, whereby said cabin comprises means for arranging each seat in a position on the ground among a set of possible positions spaced longitudinally at known intervals,
characterized in that said process comprises a phase for optimization of the spacing of seats according to an overall comfort function of passengers for a given trip, said function taking into account characteristics that are specific to at least some of said passengers, whereby said phase for optimization of the space between the seats and for assigning seats to passengers uses an algorithm for optimization under constraints.

9. Device for layout of a passenger cabin, whereby said cabin comprises at least one row of seats arranged essentially one behind the other along a longitudinal axis, and means for arranging each seat in a position on the ground among a set of possible positions spaced longitudinally at known intervals,
wherein it comprises: -
Means for acquiring bodily parameters of at least some of the passengers before they enter the cabin, Means for calculating the optimization of space between the seats and for assigning seats to passengers, optimized based in particular on the bodily parameters of the passengers, Means for automatic longitudinal movement of at least certain seats according to the results of this calculation of optimization, whereby these means comprise motorization means of the seats, and remote control means of these motorization means.
