METHODS AND EQUIPMENT FOR SENSING RADIO FREQUENCY FOR TRAFFIC VEHICLES AND VEHICLES NOT TEMPORARILY READ BY COMPUTER

Abstract

In general, this refers to methods and devices for radio frequency sensing in vehicles and other vehicles that cannot be temporarily read by a computer. The solutions described here address these and other issues by providing radio frequency (RF) sensing capabilities to determine the state of the vehicle's driver or passengers. RF sensing capabilities can be provided by existing vehicle radio equipment, such as Wi-Fi transceivers, and thus can provide RF sensing functionality to vehicles at little additional cost. RF sensing capabilities can be leveraged to implement safety features such as detecting unsupervised children or pets in vehicles, detecting driver alertness, and similar.
