Systems for interior sensing in commercial vehicles

Our Systems

Interior sensing systems from Bosch can warn drivers early and trigger interventions before an accident occurs. Depending on the system, different information about the interior of the cab and the driver’s behavior is interpreted: there are indirect approaches that assess driving and steering behavior, camera-based solutions for direct detection of drowsiness or distraction, and even supplementary radar systems to detect movements and vital signs.

Driver monitoring systems monitor the driver’s upper body using a camera, which continuously analyzes features such as eye opening, direction of gaze, and posture. Using artificial intelligence, the system draws the right conclusions in real time. It issues a warning in the case of inattentiveness, recommends breaks when it detects signs of drowsiness, and even brings the vehicle safely to a stop – depending on the vehicle manufacturer’s preferences or legal requirements.

Occupant monitoring systems use cameras with a larger beam angle to also detect codrivers and recognize situations that require additional context. For example, objects that the occupants are holding in their hands that could present a potential danger are reliably detected; in addition, passive safety systems such as seatbelt reminders and automatic airbag suppression can be used even more precisely.

Cabin sensing radar systems supplement camera-based systems by detecting vital signs and, in some situations, optically masked movements. It can also detect people approaching the vehicle from outside or breaking into the passenger cabin or cargo area. Additional applications in the passenger transport sector are also available.
