Distributed weight measurement using integrated load cells
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for planning a multimodal itinerary. The systems and methods may include receiving a transportation request. The transportation request may include a starting location, a final destination, and an estimated payload data. During a first leg of the multimodal itinerary, an updated payload data may be received. An aerial vehicle may be assigned to a subsequent leg of the multimodal itinerary based on the updated payload data.
1. A method for planning a multimodal itinerary, the method comprising:
receiving a transportation request, the transportation request including a starting location, a final destination, and estimated payload data;
receiving, during a first leg of the multimodal itinerary, updated payload data;
assigning an aerial vehicle to a subsequent leg of the multimodal itinerary based on the updated payload data;
assigning a seat of the aerial vehicle to a passenger;
receiving seat data for the seat, the seat data including a specific weight to achieve a specific stroke for the seat;
calculating a weight difference between the passenger and the specific weight;
identifying an attachment to be added to or removed from the seat based on the weight difference and a weight of the attachment; and
adding or removing the attachment from the seat.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the updated payload data includes receiving the updated payload data from a load cell associated with a ground transportation used for the first leg of the multimodal itinerary.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein assigning the aerial vehicle to the subsequent leg of the multimodal itinerary includes rerouting the aerial vehicle to a transportation hub associated with the subsequent leg.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein assigning the aerial vehicle to the subsequent leg of the multimodal itinerary includes rerouting the passenger to a transportation hub associated with the subsequent leg.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating seat assignment data based on the updated payload data, the seat assignment data indicating an assigned seat in the aerial vehicle for the passenger that travels along the first leg of the multimodal itinerary.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating compartment assignment data based on the updated payload data, the compartment assignment data indicative of an assigned compartment in the aerial vehicle for luggage that travels along the first leg of the multimodal itinerary.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving an actual weight of a payload associated with the estimated payload data; and
confirming the attachment to be added to or removed from the seat based on the actual weight of the payload.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein receiving the actual weight comprises:
receiving the actual weight from a load cell attached to the seat of the aerial vehicle; or
receiving the actual weight from a load cell attached to a floor panel of the aerial vehicle.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising verifying the passenger sits in the seat.
10. A system for planning a multimodal itinerary, the system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform actions comprising:
receiving a transportation request, the transportation request including a starting location, a final destination, and an estimated payload data,
receiving, during a first leg of the multimodal itinerary, an updated payload data,
assigning an aerial vehicle to a subsequent leg of the multimodal itinerary based on the updated payload data,
assigning a seat of the aerial vehicle to a passenger,
receiving seat data for the seat, the seat data including a specific weight to achieve a specific stroke for the seat,
calculating a weight difference between the passenger and the specific weight, and
determining that an attachment is to be added to or removed from the seat based on the weight difference and an estimated weight of the payload transgressing a threshold.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein receiving the updated payload data includes receiving the updated payload data from a load cell associated with a ground transportation used for the first leg of the multimodal itinerary.
12. The system of claim 10 , wherein assigning the aerial vehicle to the subsequent leg of the multimodal itinerary includes rerouting the aerial vehicle to a transportation hub associated with the subsequent leg.
13. The system of claim 10 , wherein assigning the aerial vehicle to the subsequent leg of the multimodal itinerary includes rerouting the passenger to a transportation hub associated with the subsequent leg.
14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the actions further comprise generating seat assignment data based on the updated payload data, the seat assignment data indicating an assigned seat in the aerial vehicle for a passenger that travels along the first leg of the multimodal itinerary.
15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the actions further comprise generating compartment assignment data based on the updated payload data, the compartment assignment data indicative of an assigned compartment in the aerial vehicle for luggage that travels along the first leg of the multimodal itinerary.
16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the actions further comprise:
receiving an actual weight for the passenger; and
confirming the attachment to be added to or removed from the seat based on the actual weight of the passenger.
17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the actions further comprise verifying the passenger sits in the seat.
18. The system of claim 10 , wherein the actions further comprise:
receiving an estimated volume of luggage belonging to the passenger;
assigning a location for the luggage based on the estimated volume to assign the location;
receiving an actual volume for the luggage; and
confirming the luggage fits in the location within the aerial vehicle based on the actual volume.
