A vehicular belt tactile apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a buckle, a belt configured to be fastened to the buckle and at least one air pouch disposed at a portion of the belt that contacts the body of an occupant when the belt is fastened to the buckle. An air controller generates a control signal when the belt is fastened to the buckle. The buckle includes an air supply unit that is configured to inject air into the at least one air pouch through the belt or to discharge air from the at least one air pouch in response to the control signal.

A detection system may include a first sleeve shaped to receive and retain a buckle of a child safety seat. The first sleeve may include a first body portion shaped to receive and retain the buckle, a male connector portion integrally formed with the first body portion, and a transmitter electrically coupled to the male connector portion. The detection system may include a second sleeve shaped to receive and retain a buckle connector. The second sleeve may include a second body portion shaped to receive and retain the buckle connector, a female connector portion connected to the second body portion, and a battery electrically coupled to the female connector portion and configured to provide energy to the transmitter when the male connector portion communicates with the female connector portion. The transmitter may generate a signal, indicating a presence of a child, when the transmitter receives energy from the battery.

A control device for a vehicle seat belt, includes: a retraction unit that is configured to retract a seat belt through use of a driving force of a motor and to stop retracting the seat belt when the motor is stopped from being driven; an acceleration measurement unit that is configured to measure an acceleration of a vehicle; a state detection unit that is configured to detect whether or not the vehicle is in a stable state while running; and a control unit that is configured to stop driving the motor when the acceleration measured by the acceleration measurement unit during driving of the motor has remained lower than a first set acceleration for at least a first set time and the vehicle has remained in the stable state detected by the state detection unit for at least a second set time.

A child restraint seat sensing device for a vehicle including a structural element at least partially defining a volume, wherein the structural element is located in a vehicle passenger seat between a seat base and seat back or is located behind the vehicle passenger seat, a stationary anchor in the vehicle, wherein the stationary anchor is located within the volume defined by the structural element, and a sensor mounted to the structural element, wherein the sensor is configured to detect whether a child restraint seat connector is attached to the stationary anchor.

An assembly system warning device includes a first assembly member, a second assembly member, a main circuit, a power supply, an alarm device, a first circuit, a first switch, a second circuit and a second switch. When the first assembly member is located at an assembly position and the second assembly member is located at an idle position, the main circuit and the second circuit are connected in series to form a closed circuit. When the second assembly member is located at an assembly position and the first assembly member is located at an idle position, the main circuit and the first circuit are connected in series to form a closed circuit.

A driver monitoring device includes a detector that detects a posture of a driver in a driver's seat of a vehicle based on an image captured by an image capturing device, a determination controller that determines whether an irregular posture can impede the vehicle from traveling safely based on a condition concerning traveling of the vehicle acquired from the vehicle and the posture of the driver detected by the detector, and one or more notifiers that provide a notification concerning the irregular posture in accordance with a result of a determination made by the determination controller. The one or more notifiers refrain from providing the notification concerning the irregular posture when the result of the determination indicates that the irregular posture does not impede the vehicle from traveling safely.

A seat belt wearing detection method includes: a vehicle cabin environment image is acquired; human body detection is performed on the vehicle cabin environment image to obtain human body detection information of at least one human body in a vehicle cabin, and seat belt detection is performed on the vehicle cabin environment image to obtain seat belt detection information of at least one seat belt in the vehicle cabin; the human body detection information of the at least one human body is matched with the seat belt detection information of the at least one seat belt, and a seat belt wearing detection result is determined; and alarm information is sent in a case where any human body is not wearing a seat belt.

The present disclosure provides an on-board storage system in which the time required for initializing a storage device is substantially shortened by devising a backend start timing. The on-board storage system includes: a storage device that has a controller, a NAND flash memory, and an interface; an electronic control unit that electronically controls a vehicle; and a sensor. The electronic control unit communicates with the storage device through the interface, the sensor transmits a detection result of the sensor to the electronic control unit, and the electronic control unit transmits a command to start initialization of the NAND flash memory to the controller when the transmitted detection result of the sensor indicates a driving-start preliminary operation.

A sensor integration module for detecting vehicle interior information and an operation method thereof are provided. The sensor integration module includes: a first sensor enabled based on first operation information and providing a sensing result as first sensing information; a second sensor enabled based on second operation information and providing a sensing result as second sensing information; a first communication device that transmits and receives information with electronic devices in a vehicle; and a controller that generates the first and second operation information for selectively enabling the first and second sensors based on information provided from the first communication device and provides the first communication device with the result determined based on the first and second sensing information.

A monitoring system for buses includes presence sensors and belt sensors connected to slaves connected to a connection cable to transport the signals from the slaves in such a way to form a field bus. The connection cable is connected to a master that receives the signals from the slaves. The master is connected to a human-machine interface (HMI) by a network cable.
