SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CABIN RECONFIGURATION MOTION PLANNING

A system for controlling a reconfigurable seating arrangement in a vehicle includes memory storing a plurality of cabin modes including a predetermined location and configuration for each of a plurality of moveable interior components, each stored as nodes in a network model. The nodes are connected by edges extending between ones of the nodes selected as possible successive cabin modes with associated edge cost values. A controller receives a selected one of the plurality of cabin modes and determines a first transition sequence between a current one of the cabin modes and the selected cabin mode by identifying a first one of the nodes that corresponds with the current cabin mode and a second one of the nodes that corresponds with the selected cabin mode. The controller moves at least one of the moveable interior components according to the first transition sequence.
