Method and system for providing behavior of vehicle operator using virtuous cycle

A method or system is capable of detecting operator behavior (OB) utilizing a virtuous cycle containing sensors, machine learning center (MLC), and cloud based network (CBN). In one aspect, the process monitors operator body language captured by interior sensors and captures surrounding information observed by exterior sensors onboard a vehicle as the vehicle is in motion. After selectively recording the captured data in accordance with an OB model generated by MLC, an abnormal OB (AOB) is detected in accordance with vehicular status signals received by the OB model. Upon rewinding recorded operator body language and the surrounding information leading up to detection of AOB, labeled data associated with AOB is generated. The labeled data is subsequently uploaded to CBN for facilitating OB model training at MLC via a virtuous cycle.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEASURING AND REDUCING VEHICLE FUEL WASTE

One way to improve fuel efficiency of a vehicle is to detect the vehicle operational shortcomings related to fuel consumption by determining whether fuel used during operation of the vehicle is normal fuel use or wasted fuel use. Considerations of idling, speeding and inappropriate gear shifts are some ways to measure the amount of fuel wasted due to operator shortcomings. Communicating this information to the operator in real-time so adjustments can be made will improve vehicle fuel efficiency. These techniques are applicable to tracking employment of other driving best practices as well.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing various types of information to a vehicle driver. Such information can be used by the vehicle driver singularly or in conjunction with other information available to the vehicle driver in order to allow the driver to operate the vehicle in an increasingly safe manner and/or to reduce the likelihood of property damage and/or possible bodily injuries to the driver, etc. In some instances, such information is presented to the driver as an augmented reality environment such that the driver can see through objects that may be occluding the driver's vision.

Method and device for displaying an image of the surroundings of a vehicle combination

The invention relates to a method and a device for displaying an image of the surroundings of a combination of two vehicles that are coupled to one another. According to the invention, image data is sensed by sensors on both of the combined vehicles. Taking into account the three-dimensional position of the vehicles relative to one another, the image data is then combined so as to obtain a common image of the surroundings. The obtained common image of the surroundings allows a driver/operator to efficiently and safely perceive the surroundings around the entire vehicle combination.

IN-VEHICLE MONITORING MODULE AND MONITORING SYSTEM

An in-vehicle monitoring module included in a monitoring system includes a detector, a service operator, a controller, and a housing. The detector detects conditions in an inside of a vehicle. The service operator is provided to the vehicle. The controller can perform processing of determining the type of an event occurring in the inside of the vehicle based on the conditions in the inside of the vehicle detected by the detector, controlling the service operator based on the determined type of the event, and causing the service operator to perform an operation corresponding to the type of the event. The housing is provided with the detector, the service operator, and the controller to serve as a unit and provided on a roof member of the vehicle.

DISPLAY PROCESSING APPARATUS, MOVABLE APPARATUS, AND DISPLAY PROCESSING METHOD

A display processing apparatus includes a memory storing instructions, and a processor that executes the instructions to display a guidance image configured to guide a route to a destination area for a user, in a display area superimposed on an external world so that the guidance image is superimposed on the external world, acquire three-dimensional information on an object existing between the user and the destination area after the user specifies the destination area in a captured image of a location including the destination area, and generate, using the three-dimensional information, the guidance image including a shielded area image that displays the route and the destination area that are respectively shielded from the user by the object.

Vehicular back-up camera system

A backup camera system integrates various capabilities in a common housing to deliver enhanced safety and convenience functions for less cost and improved utility. Apparatus such as an inertial measurement unit (IMU) may be used to automatically detect when the vehicle is moving in reverse, such that no signal is required from the vehicle to determine that the vehicle is moving in reverse. The IMU may further detect a crash situation. A sound or light generator may provide an alert to an area surrounding the vehicle. Integrated communications capabilities provide for remote control of various functions and the exchange of signals and information to remote devices facilitating vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure or infrastructure-to-vehicle communications. The system may further integrate proximity detection, imaging and computer-readable code interpretation, and GPS location.
