A system for monitoring traffic in aircraft cabins includes conductive wire (206,208) in aisle carpeting (204) and sensors (306) to register pressure via capacitance changes. The system identifies the volume and location of traffic in aircraft aisles via registered changes to voltage, current, and/or conductivity of the conductive wire, and sensors embedded in the carpet. Measurements over time establish changes in traffic flow and directionality which may be used to direct crew members in flight. Lighting elements (308) may be incorporated into the carpet to provide signals to passengers and crew via the lighting elements.
