Abstract

The invention relates to vehicle attendant task management systems and methods. A task management system (100) is configured to assign tasks to one or more attendants of a vehicle (104). The task management system (100) includes one or more passenger interfaces (110) associated with one or more passenger seats (144) within an interior cabin (102) of the vehicle (104). The passenger interface(s) (110) are configured to output service request signals indicative of service requests from passengers that are input into the passenger interface(s) (110). One or more attendant devices (108) are configured to be carried by the one or more attendants. A task manager (106) includes a management control unit (114) that is in communication with the passenger interface(s) (110) and the attendant device(s) (108). The management control unit (114) receives the service request signals from the passenger interface(s) (110) and assigns tasks to the attendant device(s) (108) based, at least in part, on the service request signals.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to systems and methods for managing tasks performed by flight attendants on vehicles such as commercial aircraft. Background technique [0002] Commercial aircraft typically include interior cabins that can be divided into zones. The cockpit is usually separate from the passenger cabin, which can include areas for first class, business class and economy class. The cabin may also include one or more work areas for the flight crew, such as a galley, which may include food and beverage storage structures.
