Claim 11:
12. A system for planning a multimodal itinerary, the system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory including instructions for execution by the processor to cause the processor to perform actions comprising:
accessing request data representing a transportation request, the transportation request including identifier data associated with a passenger, starting location data, and final destination data;
computing, based on the request data, itinerary data representing a multimodal itinerary with multiple legs of transportation;
assigning, within the itinerary data, an aerial vehicle to a specific leg of the multimodal itinerary;
assigning, within the itinerary data, the passenger to a seat of the aerial vehicle, the seat being capable of operating in a first or second mode, the first mode corresponding to a weighted attachment being attached to the seat and the second mode corresponding to no weighted attachment being attached to the seat;
accessing payload data representing an estimated weight of a payload associated with the identifier data and target load data associated with a target payload for the seat;
receiving an actual weight of the payload as determined by a weight sensor;
verifying that the actual weight of the payload is consistent with the estimated weight of the payload;
selecting either the first or second mode of the seat based at least partly on comparing the payload data and the target load data, the first mode being selected in response to the weight of the payload being within the target payload or the second mode being selected in response to the weight of the payload combined with the weighted attachment being within the target payload; and
causing the seat to be adjusted in accordance with the selected first or second mode for the specific leg of the multimodal itinerary.
