  • Security measures are typically dictated by individual airlines and by a regulatory body such as the Civil Aviation Authority in New Zealand.
  • the senor(s) comprise one or more infrared light beams configured to detect a passenger proximate the vehicle operator area.
  • the pressure sensor(s) are mounted on respective removable floor sections.
  • the warning device is posiuoned within the primaiy field of view of at least two vehicle operators.
  • the warning device is configured to operate at two or more brightness levels.
  • the passenger vehicle comprises an aircraft.
  • the aircraft has a passenger capacity of less than 20 passengers.
  • the passenger vehicle comprises an aircraft.
  • the aircraft has a passenger capacity of greater than 19 passengers.
  • the monitored area comprises a restroom and/or an area proximate a restroom.
  • Figure 1 shows the floor area of a small aircraft in which the invention is implemented.

  • Figure 3 shows the sensors attached to the removable floor sections.
  • Figure 4 shows a preferred form attachment mechanism for securing a cover over the sensors.
  • Figure 5 shows a preferred form warning device located within a cockpit.
  • Figure 6 shows a preferred form schematic of the passenger detection system.
  • Figure 1 shows a passenger vehicle 10 in die form of an aircraft.
  • the aircraft shown is a Beechcraft 1900D aircraft having a passenger capacity of 19 passengers.
  • the aircraft 10 is a small aircraft and does not require cabin crew.
  • the aircraft is typically operated by two vehicle operators seated at 20 and 20A respectively within a vehicle operating area 30. In the case of an aircraft the vehicle operators are pilots and the vehicle operating area 30 is a cockpit.
  • monitored area 60 extends from close to the vehicle operator area towards the rear of the plane.
  • the monitored area 60 is shown as extending through three rows of seats. It is anticipated that the length of the monitor area could be longer or shorter than that shown in Figure 1.
  • Figures 2-4 show one preferred form sensing technique to detect the presence of a passenge within monitored area 60.
  • the Beechcraft 1900D has a series of removable floor sections.
  • the first floor section 200 is located adjacent the cockpit 30.
  • the second floor section 210 is positioned adjacent floor section 200.
  • the thud floor section 220 is positioned adjacent floor section 210.
  • a pressure sensor is fitted to each of floor sections 200, 210 and 220.
  • each removable floor section it is preferable to include a separate pressure sensor on each removable floor section to facilitate maintenance in which floor sections are required to be removed individually.
  • Individual pressure sensors 300, 310 and 320 are attached to respective floor sections 200, 210 and 220.
  • An aperture through each floor section permits electrical connection of each pressure sensor to the annunciator 70 located within the cockpit 30.
  • the annunciator 70 is configured to emit a visual indication whenever one of the pressure sensors 300, 310 or 320 detects a mass above a threshold weight. It is expected that this threshold weight is an expected passenger weight.
  • the pressure sensors 300, 310 or 320 detect the presence of a passenger actually standing on the pressure sensors as opposed to a passenger seated in one of the front seats resting a foot in the aisle.
  • the annunciator 70 includes several different visual indicators. One of these visual indicators could show when a passenger is standing on pressure sensor 300 immediately proximate the cockpit. Other visual indicators are illuminated when a passenger is detected on pressure sensor 310 and/or pressure sensor 320.
  • the annunciator 70 is configured to operate at two or more brightness levels.
  • the brightness level is selected by one of the pilots using a two-position switch 510.
  • the dimming of die annunciator is preferably independent of the aircraft instrument dimming system. Dimming in one embodiment is provided by the switch 510. There is typically a brightness level for day operations and a different brightness level for night operations. These levels are shown in Figure 5 as “BRT” and "DIM" respectively. It is anticipated that these levels are fixed and not variable.
  • the passenger detection system functions through all phases of flight extending from aircraft power on through to aircraft power off. There is typically no requirement to include a test function of the system, as correct operation of the system can be determined during passenger boarding or final pre-takeoff passenger brie ting. During passenger briefing one of the pilots is typically standing within the monitored area 60.
  • the annunciator 70 is an aerospace-approved sunlight readable 0.75" square LED type. The annunciator includes two pairs of LEDs to ensure luminance uniformity of any test on the annunciator 70, as well as redundancy in the event of a single LED failure. LED technology is preferable over incandescent type in order to improve mean time between failures and to minimise maintenance.
  • the passenger detection warning system is particularly suited to small aircraft having a passenger capacity less than 20. Such aircraft do not typically include cabin crew and operate between regional airports where cany on baggage is not screened. It is anticipated that the same detection system could be installed in any passenger vehicle, such as commuter buses and trains, as well as ferries.
  • the passenger detection system could be used in larger aircraft.
  • Larger aircraft typically include sensitive areas, such as those immediately proximate a cockpit where the presence of just one passenger or cabin crew ought to be brought to die attention of the pilots.
  • sensitive areas such as those immediately proximate a cockpit where the presence of just one passenger or cabin crew ought to be brought to die attention of the pilots.
  • Within a larger aircraft there are areas where passengers are allowed to move around and congregate in small numbers only. These include restrooms and galleys. Sensors could be installed around galleys and restrooms where passengers typically gather. It is expected that the threshold sensitivity tor such areas are higher than less sensitive areas. One or two passengers gathering in such areas might not be suspicious.
  • the passenger detection system preferably uses pressure sensors. It is anticipated that other types of detection systems could be used.
  • One example is one or more infrared light beams as an alternative to or in addition to pressure sensors. Such light beams could be positioned across the aisle or along the aisle to detect passenger movement within the aisle.
  • the quick movement of a passenger between the sensors could also be detected which would indicate an emergency or safety incident. It is expected that the rapid movement of a passenger would be deemed suspicious regardless of the direction die passenger is moving. For example, a passenger moving quickly backward or forward within die monitored area should be- brought to the attention of the pilots.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de détection de passager qui comprend un ou plusieurs capteurs disposés à proximité d'une zone de conducteur de véhicule dans un véhicule pour passagers. Le ou les capteurs sont conçus pour détecter la présence d'un passager à proximité de la zone du conducteur de véhicule. Le système comprend en outre un dispositif d'avertissement situé dans la zone du conducteur de véhicule. Le dispositif d'avertissement est couplé à au moins un des capteurs afin de prévenir un ou plusieurs conducteurs de véhicule de la présence d'un passager à proximité de la zone de conducteur de véhicule. Dans un autre aspect, le ou les capteurs sont disposés dans un véhicule pour passagers et sont conçus pour détecter la présence d'un passager dans une zone surveillée.
