Identification of vehicle occupants in a vehicle

An arrangement for managing vehicle occupant profiles in a vehicle comprising at least one transceiver for receiving radio signals wherein a vehicle occupant is associated with at least one unidentified radio device for verification against a vehicle occupant profile comprising:

• a memory comprising executable instructions, one or more processors configured to communicate with the memory wherein the one or more processors are configured to cause the arrangement to:
• detect, by the at least one transceiver, the at least one unidentified radio device associated with the vehicle occupant,
• localize, by at least one sensor in the vehicle, the detected at least one unidentified radio device to a seat position in the vehicle occupied by the vehicle occupant of which the detected at least one unidentified radio device is associated with,
• update an available vehicle occupant profile of the vehicle occupant with the detected and localized at least one unidentified radio device when other identified radio devices associated to the vehicle occupant are detected and localized to the seat position occupied by the vehicle occupant,
• establish a new vehicle occupant profile of the vehicle occupant with the detected and localized at least one unidentified radio device when no other identified radio devices associated to the vehicle occupant are detected and localized to the seat position occupied by the vehicle occupant, and
• assign a probability value to the updated or established vehicle occupant profile.

A system for managing vehicle occupant profiles in a vehicle comprising at least one transceiver for receiving radio signals wherein a vehicle occupant is associated with at least one unidentified radio device for verification against a vehicle occupant profile, comprising:

• a detecting module configured to detect, by the at least one transceiver, the at least one unidentified radio device associated with the vehicle occupant,
• a localizing module configured to localize, by at least one sensor in the vehicle, the detected at least one unidentified radio device to a seat position in the vehicle occupied by the vehicle occupant of which the detected at least one unidentified radio device is associated with,
• an updating module configured to update an available vehicle occupant profile of the vehicle occupant with the detected and localized at least one unidentified radio device when other identified radio devices associated to the vehicle occupant are detected and localized to the seat position occupied by the vehicle occupant,
• an establishing module configured to establish a new vehicle occupant profile of the vehicle occupant with the detected and localized at least one unidentified radio device when no other identified radio devices associated to the vehicle occupant are detected and localized to the seat position occupied by the vehicle occupant, and
• an assigning module configured to assign a probability value to the updated or established vehicle occupant profile.
