1. A system for sensor data collection in a commercial passenger vehicle, comprising:
a plurality of sensor circuits configured to collect a plurality of sensor data values from a plurality of sensors including sensors from an in-flight entertainment (IFE) network in an airplane of a set of airplanes,
wherein the plurality of sensors includes touch sensors disposed on seatback displays of the commercial passenger vehicle, wherein the plurality of sensor data values includes where, when and how often passenger interactions are received on a touchscreen of the seatback displays, and wherein the plurality of sensor data values further includes a first duration of time that a passenger is engaged with the touchscreen;
a sensor data processor configured to interpret the plurality of sensor data values from the plurality of sensors according to a rule;
a sensor data storage controller configured to store the plurality of sensor data values according to a plurality of sensor data profiles, the plurality of sensor data profiles being associated with sensor types;
a passenger profile management controller configured to filter the plurality of sensor data values by processing a plurality of passenger profiles that are related to at least some of the plurality of sensor data values;
a processor configured to analyze the plurality of sensor data values using the rule and produce a plurality of measurement indexes according to each of the plurality of passenger profiles; and
a data storage that is structured to store the measurement indexes corresponding to the plurality of passenger profiles such that the measurement indexes are available through a query from an authorized agent,
wherein producing the measurement indexes are includes normalizing the first duration of time that the passenger is engaged with the touchscreen based on a second duration of time available for the passenger to engage with the touchscreen.
