Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for a transportation vehicle. One method includes determining ambient light baseline for the flight by measuring a first light intensity by a plurality of light sensors located within a plurality of physical zones of an aircraft cabin, before a flight and transforming the measured first light intensity based on sensor locations within each physical zone of the aircraft cabin; adjusting brightness level of seat display device at passenger seats located in the aircraft cabin based on the ambient light baseline; continuing to measure in-flight light intensity by the plurality of sensors; and automatically adjusting the brightness level of one or more seat display devices in response to the in-flight light intensity varying from the ambient light baseline by a first threshold value.
