PSCHITT-Hummingbird

Temporary operating procedures for the multimodal platform PSCHITT transportation research platform, the PSCHITT-Colibri platform was used to simulate the dynamic behavior of an aircraft in order to study the stability of passengers with reduced mobility (PRM) in their seats.

Overview

Designed by LAMIH, the temporary PSCHITT-Colibri platform was developed for the project Sièges-Colibri project, which aims to propose modifications to commercial seats specifically for people with reduced mobility and to evaluate these modifications in terms of safety.
