Abstract: A system is disclosed for displaying storage capacity status information for one or more passenger storage bins in an aircraft. Load sensors are coupled to each passenger storage bin and provide an output signal proportional to a weight of items within the bin. Range sensors are also coupled to each passenger storage bin and provide an output signal proportional to an amount of empty space available within the bin. A processor is coupled to the associated load sensors and range sensors and calculates, based upon the output signals from the load sensors and the range sensors, whether the associated storage bin is filled to capacity. The processor is also coupled to a display device to provide a status signal. The display device provides a visual indication based upon such status signal whether or not the associated storage bin is filled to capacity.
