Interior Radar Based occupant monitoring system
Last update: 28 Jun. 2024What is an Interior Radar-based Occupant Monitoring System?
The interior radar-based occupant monitoring system represents a significant innovation in automotive safety, leveraging advanced technology to enhance passenger protection and comfort. Positioned at the top of the cabin, the interior radar utilizes sophisticated algorithms and sensors to analyze the cabin context effectively. This analysis enables the system to detect the presence of living beings in the car, including newborns and children up to six years old, ensuring their safety during travel, as well as animals.
The interior monitoring system encompasses a full value chain, incorporating AI-based algorithms, cameras, sensors, and Electronic Control Units (ECU) to deliver reliable performance. By utilizing radar-based technology, it can precisely detect human and animal presence through movement and breathing, as well as classify occupants into categories such as baby, child, or adult. This allows accurate seat belt reminders and airbag management as well.
This technology aligns with safety standards such as NCAP and legislative initiatives like the Hot Cars Act in the USA, aimed at preventing accidents and ensuring the well-being of passengers, particularly children left unattended in vehicles.
