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.
