SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ADJUSTMENT OF VEHICLE SUB-SYSTEMS BASED ON MONITORING OF VEHICLE OCCUPANT(S)
There is provided a system for generating instructions for adjustment of vehicle sub-system(s) according to an analysis of a computed six degrees of freedom (6 DOF) of vehicle occupant(s), comprising: hardware processor(s), and a non-transitory memory having stored thereon a code for execution by the at least one hardware processor, the code comprising instructions for: obtaining at least one image of a cabin of a vehicle captured by an image sensor, obtaining depth data from a depth sensor that senses the cabin of the vehicle, wherein the at least one image and the depth data depict at least one head of at least one occupant, computing 6 DOF for the at least one head according to the at least one image and depth data, and generating instructions for adjustment of at least one vehicle sub-system according to the computed 6 DOF of the at least one vehicle occupant.
Remotely controlling comfort components in an autonomous vehicle
A method for selecting an autonomous mobility-as-a-service (MAAS) vehicle is presented. The method includes transmitting, to a customer, location information of an autonomous MAAS vehicle within the customer's vicinity. The method also includes transmitting, to the customer, a compartment climate value corresponding to the autonomous MAAS vehicle. The method further includes selecting the autonomous MAAS vehicle based on the compartment climate value, such that the selected autonomous MAAS vehicle navigates to a location of the customer.
Controlling climate in vehicle cabins
The present disclosure extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for controlling climate in vehicle cabins. A person may provide climate related data to a vehicle climate control system prior to pick up and/or during a ride in the vehicle. The climate control system may adjust the climate in at least part of a vehicle cabin based at least in part on the climate related data and configuration of components in the climate control system. Climate control adjustments can be used to precondition part of a vehicle cabin for a person and/or in response to indicated thermal discomfort of the person. The climate control system can refer to an occupant comfort model and compute climate adjustments in accordance with the occupant comfort model.
Roof-type air conditioner for vehicles and method of controlling the same
A roof-type air conditioner for vehicles may include an evaporator to discharge cold air to the internal of a vehicle, and a conveying unit to move the evaporator in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle on a ceiling of the vehicle such that the evaporator is disposed to the ceiling of the internal of the vehicle and positioned to a region required for cooling.
PORTABLE GOLF CART FAN
A fan to be mounted behind a golf cart passenger's head and powered by the golf cart's battery in order to provide a cooling system for the passengers. The fans are combined by two channel steel beams running the length of the device. The fans have power cords that are intended to be attached to the cart's battery, providing a power source. It is intended for the fan to be secured to the cart's rear stanchions to hold it in place during cart operation by bungee cords or any other suitable device. The beams can extend horizontally to accommodate any space between the rear roof stanchions on a variety of golf carts. The fan is portable and can easily be attached and taken off the cart without issue while still maintaining stability during the cart's operation.
Autonomous vehicle and method of controlling the autonomous vehicle
Disclosed are an autonomous driving method of implementing adaptive autonomous driving for a user based on device information that is obtained from a device of the user, and an autonomous vehicle. In particular, disclosed are an autonomous driving method of implementing autonomous driving appropriate for a situation of the user by controlling a function of an autonomous vehicle that corresponds to device information obtained from a wearable device, and the autonomous vehicle.
HINGED CONTROL BOX FOR AN RVAC
A recreational vehicle air conditioner (RVAC) includes a ceiling-mount cover panel and a control box. The control box includes a first box portion and a second box portion. The first box portion is positioned above the ceiling-mount cover panel. The second box portion is connected to the first box portion with a hinge. The second box portion is pivotable between a closed configuration and an open configuration on the hinge. The second box portion is nested with the first box portion in the closed configuration, and the second box portion is pivoted away from the first box portion on the hinge in the open configuration. An electronic control panel is mounted to the second box portion of the control box.
VEHICLE CABIN MONITORING SYSTEM AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL
A control system for a vehicle includes a cabin monitoring system disposed at a vehicle and operable to detect presence of at least one occupant in the vehicle. The cabin monitoring system is operable to determine a temperature at an occupant detected in the vehicle. A control is operable to control a climate control system of the vehicle. The control, responsive to a determined temperature at a detected occupant, adjusts the temperature setting of the climate control system of the vehicle. The control system receives a remotely-provided profile from a source remote from the vehicle that is associated with a future occupant of the vehicle. The control system may adjust the temperature setting in accordance with remote-provided profile associated with the future occupant prior to arriving at a location for picking up the future occupant.
Transport system, information processing device configured to manage information about user who uses at least any one of plurality of mobile units, and information processing method
A transport system, an information processing device, and an information processing method are disclosed. A transport system includes: a plurality of mobile units; and a server configured to manage information about a user who uses at least any one of the plurality of mobile units, the server including a characteristic database configured to store characteristic information in association with user identification information of the user, the characteristic information including a characteristic that is used when a mobile unit used by the user responds to the user, and a processing unit configured to, execute, based on the characteristic information identified by the user identification information, a first process in response to a first request from the mobile unit used by the user, and transmit a result of the first process to the mobile unit.
VEHICULAR AIR CONDITIONER
A vehicular air conditioner is mounted in a vehicle. The vehicular air conditioner includes an awakening processing section configured to execute a control to awaken occupants in the vehicle by blowing air to the occupants. The awakening processing section is configured to execute a first awakening control to awaken only a driver at a first timing and a second awakening control to awaken at least one occupant of the occupants other than the driver at a second timing.
