DETECTING LOAD SHIFT OF CARGO ON A VEHICLE AND/OR A TRAILER
20230065204 · 2023-03-02 ·

A method for detecting load shift of cargo on a vehicle and/or a trailer during transport, wherein cargo is restrained to the vehicle and/or the trailer by one or more restraining components. The method includes obtaining sensor data of the one or more restraining components via one or more sensors, wherein the one or more sensors are arranged on the vehicle and/or the trailer, receiving the obtained sensor data in a controlling circuitry, comparing the received sensor data over time in the controlling circuitry in order to establish differences in the received sensor data, and determining in the controlling circuitry whether any established differences in the received sensor data meet or exceed a set threshold for the one or more restraining components, wherein the set threshold is indicative of movement in the one or more restraining components capable of allowing load shift of the cargo.

TARGET DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VEHICLE
20230119420 · 2023-04-20 · ·

In a case where a person moves away in a longitudinal direction from the vicinity of a vehicle, a condition for generating a warning is satisfied due to a change in a speed in a transverse direction. Thus, a warning system generates an erroneous warning. In order to solve this problem, there are proposed a target detection system for a vehicle and a target detection method for a vehicle, both of which are capable of computing a final risk level, taking into consideration not only results of recomputing a time-to-collision and an impact point, but also the presence or absence of a target that is detected by a camera sensor. The time-to-collision and the impact point are recomputed, taking into consideration a change in a speed in a transverse direction that occurs when the target moves in the longitudinal direction.
