Body measurements of a person may be scanned using a camera (e.g., a camera on a mobile phone. Vehicle settings may then be determined based on the body measurements. Example vehicle settings may include one or more of a position of a heads-up display, a position of a pedal, an angle of a backrest, a height of a seat cushion, a tilt of the seat cushion, an extension position of the seat cushion, a position of a lumbar support, a position of a seat side bolster, a position of a headrest, a position of a side mirror, a position of a rear-view mirror, a tilt of a steering wheel, and/or a position of a steering wheel.

This monitoring device comprises: an acceleration acquisition unit for acquiring acceleration data of a vehicle traveling along a track; an acceleration effective value acquisition unit for acquiring a plurality of acceleration effective values obtained by applying a bandpass filter for each of a plurality of constant specific bandwidths to the acceleration data; a corrected acceleration calculation unit for calculating a corrected acceleration on the basis of each of the acceleration effective values of the respective constant specific bandwidths and predetermined correction coefficients corresponding to the respective constant specific bandwidths; and an abnormality detection unit for detecting an abnormality of the vehicle or of the track on the basis of the magnitude of the corrected acceleration.

A vehicle transfer assistance system includes an adjustment position acquisition unit configured to acquire an adjustment position of a seat element set in a boarded vehicle boarded by a user, a specific distance calculation unit configured to calculate, based on the acquired adjustment position, a predetermined specific distance around a seat of the boarded vehicle formed by the seat element, the specific distance being associated with a physical feature of the user sitting on the seat,

a specific distance storing unit configured to store the user and the specific distance in association with each other, and a converted adjustment position calculation unit configured to calculate a converted adjustment position that is the adjustment position of the seat element for reproducing the specific distance in a transfer vehicle different from the boarded vehicle when the user boards on the transfer vehicle.

Exemplary embodiments described in this disclosure are generally directed to systems and methods for detecting alertness of a driver of a vehicle. In one exemplary method, a driver alertness detection system determines whether a driver of a vehicle is susceptible to lagophthalmos. If the driver is susceptible to lagophthalmos, the driver alertness detection system may evaluate an alertness state of the driver by disregarding an eyelid status of the driver and monitoring biometrics of the driver such as, a heart rate and/or a breathing pattern. Alternatively, the driver alertness detection system may evaluate an alertness state of the driver by placing a higher priority on the biometrics of the driver than on the eyelid status. However, if the driver is not susceptible to lagophthalmos, the driver alertness detection system evaluates the alertness state by placing a higher priority on the eyelid status than on the biometrics of the driver.

The disclosed embodiments are directed to adjusting the operational characteristics of a black box installed in a vehicle. In one embodiment a method is disclosed comprising classifying a mental state of a driver of an automobile, loading at least one setting based on the mental state, the setting defining an operational characteristic of a black box installed in the automobile, configuring the black box using the at least one setting, and recording one or more events by the black box.

A movable carrier auxiliary system includes a driver state detecting device and a warning device. The driver state detecting device includes a physiological state detecting module, a storage module, and an operation module. The physiological state detecting module is adapted to detect a physiological state of a driver. The storage module is disposed in a movable carrier and stores an allowable parameter corresponding to the at least one physiological state. The operation module is disposed in the movable carrier and is electrically connected to the physiological state detecting module and the storage module to detect whether the at least one physiological state of the driver exceeds the allowable parameter or not, and to correspondingly generate a detection signal. The warning device generate a warning message when the detection signal that the at least one physiological state of the driver exceeds the allowable parameter is received.

An interlock control system linked to a digital key includes an alcohol interlock controller, which calculates a decomposition time period required to decompose blood alcohol of each driver using personal information of the driver, extracted by authenticating a digital key, when a blood alcohol concentration measured by an alcohol measuring sensor exceeds a reference value. The alcohol interlock controller then restricts ignition of a vehicle using the digital key for the decomposition time period. By calculating and providing the decomposition time period for restricting the ignition of the vehicle, based on the personal information and an actual alcohol clearance of the driver, predicted information on a time point for allowing the driver to drive the vehicle is provided to the driver. An interlock control method for the same is also provided.

A driver state guide device includes: a state identification unit identifying a present state of a driver of an own vehicle; a target estimation unit estimating a target state to which the state of the driver is guided; a route prediction unit providing a predicted route of the own vehicle; a situation prediction unit predicting a situation in the predicted route predicted by the route prediction unit; a planning unit planning, as a stimulus plan, a stimulus to be used in the predicted route to guide the state of the driver to the target state; and a stimulus control unit providing the stimulus for the driver according to the stimulus plan determined by the planning unit in the predicted route.

A station device in a biometric pre-identification system uses identity to perform one or more actions. Identities are determined (such as via a backend) using biometric information. A biometric pre-identification device obtains biometric information and/or a digital representation thereof from a person approaching the station device. The biometric pre-identification device transmits such to the station device, facilitating the station to begin and/or perform various actions. The station device begins or performs the actions using the identity determined based on the biometric information before the person arrives at the station device.

A vehicular driving assist system includes an in-cabin camera disposed at an interior rearview mirror assembly in an interior cabin of a vehicle and viewing at least a steering wheel of the vehicle and capturing image data. An electronic control unit (ECU) includes an image processor for processing image data captured by the in-cabin camera to detect presence of one or both hands of a driver of the vehicle at the steering wheel. The vehicular driving assist system, responsive to determining, via processing at the ECU of image data captured by the in-cabin camera, that at least one hand of the driver is not on the steering wheel when the vehicle is at or approaching a hazardous condition, generates an alert to the driver of the vehicle.
