Embodiment Construction

[0090]In the following, the present invention will be illustrated by way of examples. It should be appreciated, however, that the examples are only to illustrate the principles of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Details of two or more embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0091] figure 1 A vehicle 1 comprising a system 3 according to the invention is schematically shown. The system comprises a first radar unit 5 and a second radar unit 7 . The radar units 5, 7 each comprise a transmitter 5a, 7a and a receiver 5b, 7b. Each transmitter 5a, 7a and each receiver 5b, 7b has its respective active sector. For a transmitter 5a, 7a, the active sector is the sector in which the radar signal extends. see figure 2 . Similarly, for the receiver 5b, 7b, the active sector is the sector from which radar signals can be received. see image 3 . The effective sector has a three-dimensional shape, such a...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a system (3) for determining a position of a living being (9) in an interior of a vehicle (1). The system (3) comprises at least three components, each one of the at least three components being of a first component type or a second component type, one of the first or second component type being a transmitter (5a, 7a) and the other being a receiver (5b, 7b). Two of the components are of the first component type and one of the components is of the second component type. Each of the at least three components is adapted to transmit or receive a signal dependent on component type. The signal is adapted for determining a presence of the living being (9) and for determining a distance (d 1 , d 2 ) between the living being (9) and each one of the components being of the first component type. The at least three components have active sectors, which are adapted to at least partly overlap within the interior of the vehicle (1). The components of the first component type are located at different positions, which positions are known relative to each other. The system (3) is adapted to determine the position of the living being (9) based on the determined distances (d 1 , d 2 ). The disclosure further relates to a vehicle comprising such a system and a method for determining a position of a living being in an interior of a vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a system for determining the location of a living being in a vehicle interior. The present disclosure also relates to a vehicle comprising such a system and a method for determining the position of a living body in the interior of the vehicle. Background technique [0002] In a vehicle, it may be of interest to determine the presence and / or location of living organisms within the vehicle interior. This may be used, for example, when paying for a vehicle or paying a ticket, where the cost depends on the number of people in the vehicle. On some roads, there may be special lanes for vehicles that include at least two people. The information about the presence of people can then be used to check whether the vehicle meets the requirements for the minimum number of people. In addition, information about the location of the living body can be used in the vehicle's safety systems, eg safety devices may only be applied when ...
