In exemplary embodiments, methods and systems are provided for determining vehicle events. In an exemplary embodiment, a system is provided that includes: one or more cameras onboard a vehicle that are configured to generate camera data; and a processor that is coupled to the one or more cameras and configured to at least facilitate: identifying a change in position of one or more objects of the camera data using the camera data; and determining that a vehicle event has occurred, based on the change in position of the one or more objects of the camera data.

A garbage truck camera and safety system includes a garbage truck having a lift arm mechanism, a hopper, and a trash compacting device disposed within the hopper. At least one camera and temperature sensor are disposed within the hopper. A control module is operably connected to the cameras and the temperature sensor, as well as to one or more vehicle systems, via a vehicle control interface disposed within the driver's cab. The control module includes a processor, a non-transitory computer readable medium operatively connected to the processor, and a logic stored in the non-transitory computer readable medium that, when executed by the processor, causes the system to detect, via the temperature sensor, the temperature within the hopper; and if the temperature detected is above a predetermined threshold temperature, then deactivating the trash compacting device. The system will prevent harm from being done to individuals who accidentally fall into the hopper.

The present disclosure provides a vehicle positioning device for vehicle vision calibration, a positioning adjustment method, and a positioning adjustment system. The vehicle positioning device includes a base, a chassis, a translation mechanism and a rotation mechanism. A to-be-calibrated vehicle is placed onto the chassis, and the chassis is provided with a stopper. The translation mechanism is arranged between the chassis and the base, and configured to drive the chassis to move in an X-axis direction in a three-dimensional coordinate system relative to the base in accordance with a translation control instruction. The rotation mechanism is arranged between the chassis and the base, and configured to drive the chassis to rotate about a Z-axis in the three-dimensional coordinate system relative to the base in accordance with a rotation control instruction.

Systems and methods to provide visual references to passengers in vehicles to prevent motion sickness. The system can include a controller and one or more projectors and/or displays. The controller can detect movement of a vehicle and project images within the vehicle that comport with the detected movement. The system can include a projector to project images on the interior of the vehicle. The system can include one or more displays to display images inside the vehicle. The controller can receive data from one or more cameras, accelerometers, navigation units, magnetometers, and other components to detect the motion of the vehicle. The system can display visual references on the dashboard, door panels, and other interior surfaces to complete the view of passengers, or provide other visual reference, to prevent motion sickness.

A display control device includes a processor. The processor being configured to: gather a captured image from an imaging section that captures images of outside a vehicle; in a case in which an event notifiable to a driver of the vehicle has been detected based on peripheral information relating to a periphery of the vehicle, generate an interruption image including a captured image relating to the event and information indicating a direction in which the event has arisen relative to the vehicle; and perform processing to display the generated interruption image in a notification region configuring part of a display region of a display device that is visible to the driver of the vehicle.

A vehicle includes an automated apparatus extending from the vehicle and a projection system. The projection system includes a projector positioned on the vehicle. The projector is configured to operate to provide a projection onto a ground surface, the projection covering a zone. The automated apparatus is configured to operate within the zone.

Systems and methods for monitoring a position of a window. A window position monitoring system comprises a display screen, a camera configured to capture an image for display on the display screen, and a controller including a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: determine a position of the window; determine at least one of a camera setting of a camera and a display screen setting of the display screen based on the determined position of the window; capture, using the camera, at least one frame of a video of a real-world environment; and display, on the display screen, based on the at least one of the camera setting and the display screen setting, the at least one frame of the video of the real-world environment.
