The invention relates to a passenger module (M) for a vehicle cabin (3), in particular an aircraft cabin, comprising two seats (1, 2) arranged between a first side element (FE) and a second side element (SE), wherein the first side element (FE) and the second side element (SE) extending parallel to each other, the seats (1, 2) are arranged substantially one behind another and facing substantially in a same direction, wherein a front seat (1) is positioned angled by a predefined first angle (α) around its vertical axis (sz) in a direction towards the first side element (FE), and
a rear seat (2) is positioned angled by a predefined second angle (β) around its vertical axis (sz′) in a direction towards the second side element (SE). Further, the invention relates to a passenger seating arrangement (PA) for a vehicle cabin (3).

A set of seats for an automotive vehicle, where the set of seats comprises a first seat and a second seat, where the first seat is provided with a first seatback and a first seat bottom, where the second seat is provided with a second seatback and a second seat bottom, the set of seats is configured in order to have: a road configuration in which the first seat bottom extends substantially horizontally and the first seatback extends substantially vertically; and a relaxed configuration in which the second seat is in a table position in which the second seatback extends substantially horizontally and the second seat bottom extends substantially vertically, where the second seatback and the second seat bottom delimit a knee space.

A floor structure for a vehicle includes: a center floor; a plurality of longitudinal members attachably disposed on a top surface of the center floor; a plurality of seat rails disposed in the plurality of longitudinal members, respectively; and a battery assembly arranged under the center floor.

A conventional passenger vehicle has a lower deck and an upper deck on both sides of its aisle to double its seating areas. Each deck has ceiling and seat heights about the same as that in sedans, and hence without substantially increasing the vehicle height. Both decks are divided into seating sections with partition walls, and in a seating section each deck contains only a row of power reclining seats. Each seat has a power footrest mounted separately on the partition wall in front of the seat for sitting comfort and forming a bed with the seat. The footrest can also be placed to higher elevations to use as a table for eating or working. The footrest is stored vertically to allow more leg room for the seat. In some section of the vehicle each seating section may mount two rows of sitting-only seats to increase the vehicle capacity.

An autonomous can include one or more configurable passenger seats to accommodate a plurality of different seating configurations. For instance, the one or more passenger seats can include a passenger seat defining a seating orientation. The passenger seat can be configurable in a first configuration in which the seating orientation is directed towards a forward end of the autonomous vehicle and a second configuration in which the seating orientation is directed towards a rear end of the autonomous vehicle. The passenger seat can include a seatback rotatable about a pivot point on a base of the passenger seat to switch between the first configuration and the second configuration. Alternatively, or additionally, the autonomous vehicle can include a door assembly pivotably fixed to a vehicle body of the autonomous vehicle such that a swept path of the door assembly when moving between an open position and a closed position is reduced.

Systems and methods for reconfiguring seats of an autonomous vehicle is provided. The method includes obtaining service request data that includes a service selection and request characteristics. The method includes obtaining data describing an initial seat configuration for each of a plurality of seats of an autonomous vehicle assigned to the service request. The initial seat configuration can include a seat position and a seat orientation for each of the plurality of seats. The method includes generating, based on the initial cabin configuration and the service request data, seat adjustment instructions configured to adjust the initial seat configuration of at least one of the seats. The method includes providing the seat adjustment instructions to the autonomous vehicle assigned to the service request.
