A system for detecting improper usage of a seatbelt of a vehicle includes a vehicle seat having a seat cushion and a seat back. A shoulder belt and a lap belt are intended to restrain an occupant sitting on the vehicle seat. The system includes a sensor module associated with the shoulder belt and the lap belt. The sensor module generates signals indicative of at least one parameter associated with the vehicle seat, the shoulder belt, and the lap belt when the occupant is sitting on the vehicle seat. The system also includes a controller that receives the signals indicative of the at least one parameter associated with the seat back, the shoulder belt, and the lap belt. The controller analyzes the received one or more signals, and determines whether the seatbelt is being used improperly by the occupant, based on the analysis.

A safety protection system for passengers and drivers includes passenger and driver seat belt fastening state detection apparatuses, emergency alarm apparatuses, a car roof sounding alarm, passenger and driver fastening and isolation and protection apparatuses, wherein if a passenger is a single female, a pregnant woman, an elderly man or woman, a child, an infant, a person with difficulty in moving and an intoxicated person, an order will only be assigned to a vehicle provided with the above-mentioned apparatuses

A monitoring apparatus, a vehicle, a monitoring method and an information processing apparatus. The monitoring apparatus is used for a vehicle and includes an image acquisition device, a processor and an alarm device. The image acquisition device is configured to acquire image information inside the vehicle. The processor, connected to the image acquisition device and the alarm device, is configured to control the alarm device to perform an alarm in a case where the image information meets preset violation conditions. The monitoring apparatus acquires the image information inside the vehicle through the image acquisition device, and after analysis and comparison by the processor, in a case where the image information meets the preset violation conditions is determined, the monitoring apparatus controls the alarm device to perform an alarm, which is conductive to discovering potential dangers of driving and improving the driving safety.

Signaling system for vehicles, specific to warn the rest of users of the road that the opening any of the doors of the vehicle is going to occur imminently, before this opening occurs, which is achieved in the first place, with the installation around the outside mirrors of the vehicle of a set of powerful flashing lights (2R/2N), completely surrounding said mirrors by the mirror part, warning lights that will be oriented to be seen horizontally, and to the exterior of the vehicle so as to be easily seen by the users of the road and at the same time not to bother the driver. And second, this set of warning lights are connected to presence sensors installed on each of the interior handles of the vehicle doors that will allow detect the hand before it touches any of the interiors handles or concrete system of opening the doors, when the occupants are ready to operate them to open and exit, thereby gaining an essential time that does not exist until now.

A vehicle seatbelt usage indicating device for indicating, to a person proximate to the vehicle, proper usage of a seatbelt includes a light emitter, which can be affixed to an exterior surface of a door of a vehicle. The light emitter is engageable to an electronic control unit of the vehicle so that the light emitter is operationally engaged thereto. The electronic control unit is positioned to receive a signal from a sensor engaged to a buckle of a seatbelt, which is integral to a seat positioned adjacent to the door of the vehicle. The sensor is positioned to detect insertion of a latch into the buckle. The electronic control unit is positioned to selectively actuate the light emitter to indicate, upon insertion of the latch into the buckle, proper usage of the seatbelt to a person proximate to the vehicle.
