Improvements in an abandoned baby, infant, child or animal alter system is disclosed. When a child or animal is being transported with a driver in the vehicle, the driver will generally maintain a comfortable temperature in the interior of the vehicle. The temperature and temperature changes are monitored to determine that a child or animal is unattended. The monitor is coupled with a connection in the car, a seat belt of a baby seat or integrated into the baby seat. Integrating the sensor with a seat belt or buckle provides a switch for operation of the sensor. The signaling system can be integrated with the light, horn or alarm or can be connected to a cellular network, Wi-Fi or other radio communications system to send a notification that a baby, infant, child or animal has been left and secured in a vehicle and needs attention.

A passenger's weight measurement device for a vehicle seat includes an upper rail provided on a lower rail that is fixable to a vehicle floor, the upper rail being movable in at least one of rear and front directions; a load sensor fixed onto the upper rail; and a frame provided on the load sensor and below the vehicle seat. In plan view, the load sensor protrudes from the frame in at least one of left and right directions.

A condition correction unit includes a plan storage unit configured to store correction plans showing contents of correction of the body condition of a seated person, a presentation unit configured to read a correction plan based on a current value measured by a measurement unit from the plan storage unit and present the correction plan to the seated person, and a processing execution unit configured to execute processing to correct posture by controlling an operating unit. The plan storage unit stores the correction plan presented by the presentation unit in association with information identifying the seated person when the correction plan is presented. The processing execution unit reads the correction plan associated with the information identifying the seated person from the plan storage unit, and executes the processing to correct the posture according to correction contents shown by the correction plan.

A vehicle control system includes: a seat (310) in which an occupant sits; a first slide mechanism (320) configured to enable movement of the seat in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle; a second slide mechanism (322) configured to enable movement of the seat in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle along the first slide mechanism; an automated driving control unit configured to execute automated driving of automatically controlling at least one of acceleration/deceleration and steering of the vehicle; and a seat control unit configured to enable movement of the seat using the first slide mechanism and the second slide mechanism in a case that the automated driving is being executed by the automated driving control unit and to enable movement of the seat using the first slide mechanism in a case that the automated driving is not being executed.

A system for intelligently disengaging vehicle creep, the system comprising one or more sensors configured to be operatively coupled with a vehicle, one or more processors configured to execute machine-readable instructions to obtain information from one or more of the sensors, compare obtained information with reference information, determine whether a creep disengaging condition has been satisfied based on the obtained information and the reference information, and disengage a creep function of the vehicle if it is determined that a creep disengaging condition has been satisfied. In some embodiments, the system disengages a vehicle's creep functionality when it is determined that the driver has exited the vehicle.

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: determining an occupancy status with a capturing sensor based on detecting a passenger presence in real time; determining a lane availability of a lane type based on a current location; generating an access notification based on the occupancy status, the lane availability for traversing on the lane type; and updating the access notification with a control unit dynamically and in real time based on a change in the occupancy status, the lane availability, or a combination thereof for presenting on a device.

A passenger seat occupancy alert system for a vehicle is disclosed herein. The passenger seat occupancy alert system for a vehicle includes at least one sensor, a detection means, an in-vehicle display device, a speaker, and a controller. The passenger seat occupancy alert system is useful for sensing passenger occupancy of a vehicle and producing an alert.

A mounted object detection device includes: a load sensor in which a plurality of sensor parts each configured to detect a load are disposed in a matrix shape; and a controller configured to detect a situation of a mounted object on the load sensor on the basis of an output from the load sensor. The controller: detects a load distribution on a detection region of the load sensor on the basis of an output from the load sensor; discerns which of a person or animal and a thing the mounted object is, on the basis of the load distribution; and when having discerned that the mounted object is a thing, discerns whether or not a person or an animal is mounted on the thing, on the basis of temporal change in the load distribution.

A device is described for delivering a therapeutic vibration to a body. The device may include at least two motors in a housing with unbalanced masses coupled to their axles, such that vibration of the masses causes the two motors and housing to vibrate at a beat frequency 80. The motors and housing may be coupled to the body via a platform which places the motors and housings at or near a resonant structure in the body, creating a coupled oscillation between the platform and the body. The vibration may be based on the input signal, such that the system applies the vibration based on the input signal to the user, wherein the signal may be an audio or video signal. The system may be configured to measure and manipulate the flow of cerebral spinal fluid.

An automatic driving vehicle includes an automatic driving mode in which autonomous traveling is carried out. The automatic driving vehicle receives a setting for a behavior after getting out from the automatic driving vehicle. The setting includes information of a destination and a time period and/or a clock time which are designated by a user of the automatic driving vehicle. The automatic driving vehicle is controlled based on the information to automatically drive to the destination by an appointed time.
