Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a storage device, for monitoring a vehicle are disclosed. A vehicle monitoring system for monitoring a vehicle includes one or more processors and one or more computer storage media storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more processors, to cause the one or more processors to perform operations. The operations include: receiving, from a vehicle occupancy monitor and by the vehicle monitoring system, vehicle occupancy data that indicates presence of a vehicle occupant; receiving, by the vehicle monitoring system and from a sensor, sensor data that indicates an attribute of the vehicle; analyzing, by the vehicle monitoring system, the vehicle occupancy data and the sensor data; and based on analyzing the vehicle occupancy data and the sensor data, performing a vehicle monitoring system action.

The disclosure relates to systems and methods for treating a vehicle with radiation. The system generally comprises a being detection system, one or more sanitizing lights, a surface tinting means, and at least one processor. Sanitizing radiation is emitted onto one or more surfaces of the vehicle, as well as the air of the vehicle to sanitize the vehicle. The processor allows and being detection system allow for safe sanitizations to be conducted inside the vehicle. The vehicle may be treated with safe UV-C light and/or unsafe UV-C light, depending on the presence of beings in the vehicle.

A refuse truck includes a chassis, a body, a lift assembly coupled to the chassis and/or the body, a cab coupled to the chassis and positioned in front of the body, and a control system. The cab includes an armrest comprising controls pivotable between an active position and an inactive position and an armrest position sensor configured to determine a position of the armrest between the active position and the inactive position. The control system configured to control a user interface to provide an indication of a current position of the lift assembly. The control system further configured to determine a position of the armrest, and selectively activate a pendent control on an exterior of the body.

An example embodiment of a system and methods for detecting and reporting whether passengers are seated and secured in their seats within a vehicle may include a passenger sensor configured to provide an output indicative of a presence of a passenger in a seat in a vehicle, a restraint sensor configured to provide an output indicative of a status of a passenger safety restraint associated with the seat, a transmitter configured to be in electronic communication with the passenger sensor and the restraint sensor and to wirelessly transmit data indicative of the presence of a passenger in the seat and the status of the restrain, and a reporting module configured to be disposed proximate a driver of the vehicle. The reporting module may be configured to receive the data from the transmitter, and output a respective status for each of a plurality of seats.

A system for notifying emergency services of a vehicular crash may (i) receive sensor data of a vehicular crash from at least one mobile device associated with a user; (ii) generate a scenario model of the vehicular crash based upon the received sensor data; (iii) store the scenario model; and/or (iv) transmit a message to one or more emergency services based upon the scenario model. As a result, the speed and accuracy of deploying emergency services to the vehicular crash location is increased. The system may also utilize vehicle occupant positional data, and internal and external sensor data to detect potential imminent vehicle collisions, take corrective actions, automatically engage autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle features, and/or generate virtual reconstructions of the vehicle collision.

A controller for controlling a haptic feedback actuator of a vehicle, the controller comprising: at least one input for receiving: vehicle parameter information comprising information indicative of a current position of at least a portion of a seat of the vehicle; and information indicating that it is required to provide haptic feedback, a processor being arranged, in response to receipt of information indicating that haptic feedback is required, to generate a control signal for controlling operation of the haptic feedback actuator, the control signal being responsive at least in part to the vehicle parameter information; and an output for outputting the control signal.

A vehicular driver monitoring system includes a camera disposed at an interior cabin of a vehicle equipped with the system and viewing at least a portion of a driver of the vehicle. The system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) including electronic circuitry and associated software. Frames of image data captured by the camera are transferred to and are processed at the ECU. The system, responsive to processing at the ECU of frames of image data captured by the camera and transferred to the ECU, determines location of the head of the driver. The system determines a configuration for a driver's seat of the vehicle based at least in part on the determined location of the head of the driver. The system adjusts the driver's seat of the vehicle using the determined configuration for the driver's seat.

A camera measurement module is configured to determine first measurements of an occupant of a seat based on an image captured using a camera within the passenger cabin of the vehicle. A radar measurement module is configured to determine second measurements of the occupant of the seat within the passenger cabin of the vehicle based on radar signals from a radar sensor, A measurement module is configured to determine third measurements of the occupant of the seat within the passenger cabin based on at least one of: the first measurements of the occupant of the seat; and the second measurements of the occupant of the seat. An actuator control module is configured to selectively actuate an actuator of a restraint associated with the seat based on the one or more third measurements of the occupant of the seat.

An ISS is a seating system that actively adjusts to improve an occupant's comfort, performance, and safety in a specific driving environment. The ISS determines the occupant's posture, position on the seat surface, and/or physiological state, for example, by applying a machine vision process. The ISS can further determine a driving environment. The ISS adjusts its settings and settings of the vehicle according to one or more factors such as an occupant's posture, the occupant's physiological state, the occupant's preferences, and/or the driving environment. The ISS can include a state machine that determines a current state and determines if a change has occurred such that the system should shift to another state that best suits this change. The ISS makes adjustment according to system settings associated with the best suitable state.

Aspects of the disclosure relate cleaning systems for cleaning cabin air and interior surfaces of a vehicle. For instance, a cleaning system may include a surface cleaning device including a UVC light source. In addition, a request for confirmation that the vehicle may not be occupied may be sent to a remote computing device. In response to the request, a signal indicating whether or not the vehicle is occupied may be received. The surface cleaning device may then be activated based on the signal.
