The vehicle includes main doors with locks that are remotely lockable and unlockable using main door lock actuators. Vehicle includes a vehicle controller that receives a user signal from a user, first determines a main door actuation command based on the first signal, and first transmits, based on the main door actuation command, a first actuation command signal to the main door lock actuators. The system includes accessory lock actuator(s) operably coupled to the accessory lock(s), accessory lock controller(s) operably coupled to the accessory lock actuator(s), and a gateway controller operably coupled to the vehicle controller. Gateway controller second determines an accessory lock actuation command based on the first actuation command signal, and second transmits, based on the accessory lock actuation command, a gateway signal to the accessory lock controller.

A duplex Bluetooth transmission tire pressure system is provided. The duplex Bluetooth transmission tire pressure system includes a host, a plural of Bluetooth tire pressure detectors and a plural of vehicle transceivers; the host is electrically connected to the plural of vehicle transceivers; the plural of vehicle transceivers and the plural of Bluetooth tire pressure detectors are Bluetooth duplex packet transmitted. The plural of Bluetooth tire pressure detectors includes a locating program and a tire condition program. The host commands the vehicle transceiver to transmit a Bluetooth controlling packet to the plural of Bluetooth tire pressure detectors to operate or stop the locating program and limit the tire condition program.

A transport trolley for consignments having wheels which define a contact plane for moving the trolley, having a load compartment for receiving consignments during transport, and having a shelf for carrying consignments. The shelf can be adjusted from a lower non-use position arranged in the load compartment into an upper, moderate use position arranged outside the load compartment, and back. The shelf can be adjusted from a lower non-use position arranged in the load compartment into an upper, elevated use position arranged outside the load compartment, and back. The moderate use position and the elevated use position are arranged in a range between 1.0 m and 1.7 m above the contact plane. The elevated use position is arranged above the moderate use position, and a drive is provided for at least partially adjusting the height of the shelf above the contact plane.

A sensor is configured to receive connection information from a portable device via a communication gateway in a vehicle and to communicate with a portable device using impulse radio (IR) ultra-wide band (UWB) communication based on the connection information. A location of the portable device is determined based on ranging using IR UWB communication.

The present disclosure relates to a door lock having an infrared biometrics information collection device. In certain embodiments, the door lock includes, a door with a door handle for opening the door, an infrared light source, and an infrared biometrics information collection sensor. The infrared light source includes one or more infrared light emitters. The infrared biometrics information collection sensor captures at least one infrared image of biometrics information of the one or more fingers of a target human hand. The fingers are positioned between the infrared light source and the infrared biometrics information collection sensor. The infrared light source irradiates infrared light through one or more fingers to generate infrared images of biometrics information of fingers to be captured by infrared biometrics information collection sensor, infrared images of biometrics information captured are used for user authentications, and the door lock can be unlocked by an authenticated user.

An access system for a vehicle includes a receiver and an access module. The receiver is configured to receive a signal transmitted from a portable access device to the vehicle. The access module is configured to: generate a differentiated signal based on the received signal; up-sample the differentiated signal to generate a first up-sampled signal; obtain or generate an expected signal; up-sample the expected signal to generate a second up-sampled signal; cross-correlate the first up-sampled signal and the second up-sampled signal to generate a cross-correlation signal; based on the cross-correlation signal, determine a phase difference between the first up-sampled signal and the second up-sampled signal; determine a round trip time of the signal received by the receiver; and permit access to the vehicle based on the round trip time.

A system and method of deploying an ignition interlock system. The method comprises identifying a wearable transdermal device in response to initiating wireless communication between a controller device of a vehicle system and the wearable transdermal device; receiving a transdermal alcohol measurement transmitted from the wearable transdermal device; and generating, in accordance with the transdermal alcohol measurement being above a predetermined intoxication threshold, a vehicle ignition lockout state of the vehicle system.

A vehicle door lock system includes: a door lock; a vehicle event sensor; and a processing circuitry, the processing circuitry is configured to cause the vehicle door lock system to generate first triggering event data, indicative of a first triggering event detected by the vehicle event sensor, caused by a movement of an object onto, or in the vicinity of, the vehicle, at a first time, obtain, from a portable electronic device, second triggering event data, indicative of a second triggering event caused by a movement of the portable electronic device, at a second time, determine if the first triggering event and the second triggering event both occurs within a predetermined time period by comparing the first triggering event data and the second triggering event data.

A system for controlling the locking of accessories by a vehicle includes a vehicle door, a door lock, and an input device configured to receive user input including an unlock request. The system further includes an accessory lock configured to alternate between a locked accessory state and an unlocked accessory state. The system further includes a network access device. The system further includes an ECU designed to determine a door unlock event in response to the input device receiving the unlock request and to control the door lock to alternate from the locked door state to the unlocked door state in response to determining the door unlock event. The ECU is further designed to control the network access device to instruct the accessory lock to alternate from the locked accessory state to the unlocked accessory state in response to determining the door unlock event.

A transportation vehicle having a BLUETOOTH® Low Energy (BLE) system to send and receive BLE advertising signals, BLE connection request signals and BLE data signals via at least one antenna, a central locking system to lock or unlock at least one vehicle door of the transportation vehicle, and a control unit to activate the BLE system and to activate the central locking system based on the BLE data signals. Also disclosed is an electronic vehicle radio key and a system for passive access to a transportation vehicle including a transportation vehicle, an electronic vehicle radio key and a smartphone. The system allows a user passive access to the transportation vehicle, both with the aid of the electronic vehicle radio key and with the aid of the smartphone.
