Method and system for detecting an incapacitation of an occupant of a vehicle, method for controlling a vehicle, and vehicle

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored in a memory and executed by a processor to carry out steps of a method for detecting an incapacitation of an occupant of a vehicle, the method comprising:

• obtaining first data indicative of a pressure distribution on a seat of the vehicle, wherein the seat is occupied by the occupant;
• obtaining second data indicative of a position and/or orientation of at least one body part of the occupant within an interior of the vehicle;
• and
• providing third data indicative of the incapacitation of the occupant based on the first data and based on the second data.

A system for detecting an incapacitation of an occupant of a vehicle, the system comprising:

• a first sensing element for generating first data indicative of a pressure distribution on a seat of the vehicle;
• a second sensing element for generating at least a portion of second data indicative of a position and/or orientation of at least one body part of the occupant within an interior of the vehicle;
• and
• a data processing apparatus configured for:
• obtaining the first data;
• obtaining the second data;
• and
• providing third data indicative of the incapacitation of the occupant based on the first data and based on the second data;
• wherein the first sensing element and the second sensing element are communicatively connected to the data processing apparatus;
• and
• wherein the data processing apparatus comprises a communication interface for providing the third data.
