DISPLAY OF AN OCCUPIED AND UNOCCUPIED SEAT IN A VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORTING PASSENGERS

摘要

The invention relates to a device and a method for displaying the occupancy of a seat (19) in a vehicle (1) for transporting passengers. In order to increase the comfort of passengers during a journey and in order to improve the display of the occupancy of a seat, the device comprises a display element (20, 10, 120), which is arranged on the seat (19) and which is designed to assume a first state (22), in which the display element (20, 120) displays the seat (19) as unoccupied, and a second state (24), in which the display element (20, 120) displays the seat (19) as occupied. A seat squab (26) of the seat (19) is intended for occupation by a person (14) or an object. An operative connection (30, 130) between the seat squab (26) and the display element (20, 120) is designed to cause the second state (24) to be assumed when the seat (19) is occupied.
