First Claim
1. A method for analyzing passenger flow, the method comprising;
- receiving a three-dimensional model of a passenger cabin;
identifying 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;
generating 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;
receiving user input identifying a number of characteristics for a plurality of passengers;
generating 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;
simulating 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
generating and displaying a video illustrating the movement of the plurality of passengers moving to the number of locations in a three-dimensional representation of the passenger cabin.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for analyzing passenger flow. A three-dimensional model of a passenger cabin is received. Features in the three-dimensional model of the passenger cabin are identified in response to receiving the three-dimensional model. A first plurality of objects is generated for the features in the passenger cabin. User input identifying a number of characteristics for passengers is received. A second plurality of objects for the passengers is generated using the number of characteristics. The second plurality of objects is assigned to seats within the passenger cabin. Each of the second plurality of objects is assigned a destination location and has a behavior when encountering an obstacle while moving from a current location to the destination location. A movement of the passengers to a number of locations relative to the seats assigned to the passengers is simulated using the second plurality of objects.
