Abstract
A system for securement of galley trolleys in aircraft comprises a motion sensor mounted to monitor a trolley in a trolley bay; a controller connected to the motion sensor, and an output device operatively connected to the controller. The controller is configured to receive a signal from the motion sensor to detect unsecured motion of a trolley in the trolley bay and the output device is configured to alert a user upon detection of unsecured motion of a trolley in the trolley bay. A method for securement of galley trolleys in aircraft includes monitoring a trolley in a trolley bay of an aircraft for motion and alerting a user upon unsecure motion of the trolley.
