Abstract
A system and method for determining a safe return to a vehicle that include determining at least one safety feature setting associated with at least one vehicle based safety response that is related to a travel plan. The system and method also include determining if the user departs from the designated location to return to the vehicle and determining if there is a deviation from the travel plan that pertains to the user safely returning to the vehicle from the designated location. The system and method further include controlling at least one component of the vehicle to operate based on the at least one safety feature setting to execute the at least one vehicle based safety response when it is determined that there is deviation from the travel plan.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for determining a safe return to a vehicle comprising:
- determining at least one safety feature setting associated with at least one vehicle based safety response that is related to a travel plan, wherein the travel plan is created based on data provided by location sensors and vehicle seat sensors and the travel plan pertains to the safe return of a user to the vehicle from a designated location;
- determining if the user departs from the designated location to return to the vehicle;
- determining if there is a deviation from the travel plan that pertains to the user safely returning to the vehicle from the designated location;
- and
- controlling at least one component of the vehicle to operate based on the at least one safety feature setting to execute the at least one vehicle based safety response when it is determined that there is deviation from the travel plan.
A computer-implemented method for determining a safe return to a vehicle comprising:
- creating a travel plan that pertains to the safe return of a user to the vehicle from a designated location, wherein the travel plan includes details associated with a utilization of the vehicle and a travel time associated with travel between the vehicle and the designated location;
- determining if the user departs from the designated location to return to the vehicle;
- determining if there is a deviation from the travel plan that pertains to the user safely returning to the vehicle from the designated location;
- and
- sending at least one emergency alert to at least one emergency contact upon determining the deviation from the travel plan.
A system for determining a safe return to a vehicle comprising:
- a memory storing instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- create a travel plan that pertains to the safe return of a user to the vehicle from a designated location, wherein the travel plan includes details associated with a utilization of the vehicle and a travel time associated with travel between the vehicle and the designated location;
- determine if the user departs from the designated location to return to the vehicle;
- determine if there is a deviation from the travel plan that pertains to the user safely returning to the vehicle from the designated location;
- and
- send at least one emergency alert to at least one emergency contact upon determining the deviation from the travel plan.
