A control for an in-cabin monitoring system for a vehicle, the in-cabin monitoring system including the control, a time-of-flight device configured to perform a time-of-flight measurement to acquire time-of-flight data and a radar device configured to perform a radar measurement to acquire radar data, comprising circuitry configured to: obtain time-of-flight data and radar data; perform, based on the time-of-flight data and the radar data, object/passenger monitoring in the cabin; detect, based on the time-of-flight data, a region of interest in the cabin; and adapt, based on the detected region of interest, an operation mode of the in-cabin monitoring system.

The described technology pertains to vehicle safety systems in the field of vision and detection. A vehicle vision and detection system includes multiple cameras and/or detectors within the housing configured designed for attachment to a hood or fender of a vehicle to capture image or detection data for forward and/or cross-traffic fields of view on opposite sides of the vehicle. One or more processors are connected to the cameras and/or detectors to receive and analyze image or detection data, identify objects, assess risk levels for each identified object, and activate an output interface to alert a vehicle operator based on the assessed risk level.

A vehicular control system of an equipped vehicle determines presence of a leading vehicle in front of the equipped vehicle and within a traffic lane along which the equipped vehicle is traveling, and determines distance between the equipped vehicle and the leading vehicle. The vehicular control system, responsive to (i) determining that the leading vehicle is stopped in front of the equipped vehicle or traveling at speed that is less than a threshold speed and (ii) the determined distance being greater than a threshold distance, determines a velocity profile. With the equipped vehicle at a distance from the leading vehicle that is greater than the threshold distance, the system controls speed of the equipped vehicle based on the determined velocity profile, and determines a distance profile based on (a) speed of the equipped vehicle and (b) the determined distance between the equipped vehicle and the leading vehicle.

A system and method of this disclosure control an on/off state of a power take-off by monitoring the power demand of a fluid power circuit that includes the power take-off and a piece of equipment connected to the power take-off. The power demand may be indicated by a pressure or temperature of a fluid power circuit, by a motion of the equipment or its hand-held controller, or by an engine torque of an engine driving the power take-off. When the equipment transitions between an off state and an on state, the controller automatically engages the power take-off. When the equipment is in the on-state for a predetermined amount of time and the power demand is at or below a predetermined threshold during the predetermined amount of timethereby indicating idle time or an inactive state of the equipmentthe controller automatically disengages the power take-off.

A method is proposed for synchronizing a combustion engine in a hybrid vehicle provided with an electric motor, comprising the following steps: applying an initial rotation speed setpoint value to the electric motor (typically 2,500 revolutions per minute), then synchronizing the combustion engine on the basis of the rotation signals from the camshaft and the crankshaft. In the event of a camshaft signal failure, an initial combustion engine position assumption is selected from among a plurality of possible assumptions, and injection tests are performed by adjusting the rotation speed setpoints. Once the idle speed setpoint has been reached, the rotation speed setpoint value of the electric motor is reduced to a new value (typically 2,000 revolutions per minute). If the assumption is confirmed, the speed setpoint process is stopped; if not, another assumption is tested until confirmation occurs.

A detection system includes at least one sensor and a processor. The at least one sensor is disposed in a vehicle. When the vehicle is in a first state, the at least one sensor obtains a first sensing data. When the vehicle is in a second state, the at least one sensor obtains a second sensing data. The processor executes a processing procedure according to at least an instruction, wherein the processing procedure includes the steps of: receiving the first sensing data and the second sensing data, comparing the first sensing data with the second sensing data, and determining whether there is at least one detection object in the vehicle according to a comparison result of the first sensing data and the second sensing data.
