Abstract
A system for determining the number of passengers in a vehicle, comprising a plurality of sensors arranged to collect data concerning a cabin of the vehicle, wherein the plurality of sensors comprises at least one mm-wave-radar-sensor, and a computation unit, wherein the computation unit is connected to the plurality of sensors and configured to evaluate the data collected by the plurality of sensors in order to determine the number of passengers within the vehicle. Also provided is the vehicle with the system and a method for determining the number of passengers in the vehicle.
Claims20
A system for determining a number of passengers in a vehicle, comprising:
- a plurality of sensors arranged to collect data concerning a cabin of the vehicle, wherein the plurality of sensors comprises at least a first sensor being a mm-wave-radar-sensor arranged at a first position inside the cabin to measure a first value corresponding to an interior cabin condition and a second sensor being a sensor different than the first sensor arranged at a second position outside of the cabin to measure a second value different from the first value corresponding to an exterior cabin condition;
- and
- a computation unit,
- wherein the computation unit is connected to the plurality of sensors and configured to evaluate the data collected by the plurality of sensors in order to determine the number of passengers within the vehicle, and
- wherein the computation unit compares the data collected by the first sensor and the data collected by the second sensor to determine an accuracy of the determination of the number of passengers within the vehicle.
A method for determining a number of passengers in a vehicle, wherein the method comprises:
- collecting data concerning a cabin of the vehicle by a plurality of sensors, wherein the plurality of sensors comprises at least a first sensor being a mm-wave-radar sensor arranged at a first position inside the cabin to measure a first value corresponding to an interior cabin condition and a second sensor being a sensor different than the first sensor arranged at a second position outside of the cabin to measure a second value different from the first value corresponding to an exterior cabin condition;
- evaluating the data collected by the plurality of sensors with a computation unit in order to determine the number of passengers within the vehicle;
- and
- determining an accuracy of the determination of the number of passengers within the vehicle by comparing the data collected by the first sensor and the data collected by the second sensor.
