Abstract: An occupant or object sensing system in a vehicle includes electrical circuits for capacitive sensing and corresponding circuits shielding the sensing system from interference. A sensing circuit and a shielding circuit may be printed by screen printing with conductive ink on opposite sides of a non-conductive substrate. The substrate is a plastic film or other fabric that has an elastic memory structure that is resilient to stretching. The conductive inks used to print circuits onto the substrate have a similar resilience to stretching such that the substrate and the circuits thereon can be subject to deforming forces without breaking the printed circuits. The substrate may be covered with a carbon polymer layer to provide alternative conductive paths that enable fast recovery for conduction in the presence of any break in the printed conductive traces on the substrate.

Abstract: The systems and methods disclosed herein provide a risk prediction system that uses trained machine learning models to make predictions that a VRU will take a particular action. The system first receives, in a video stream, an image depicting a VRU operating a micro-mobility vehicle and extract the depictions from the image. The extraction process may be determined by bounding box classifiers trained to identify various VRUs and micro-mobility vehicles. The system feeds the extracted depictions to machine learning models and receives, as an output, risk profiles for the VRU and the micro-mobility vehicle. The risk profile may include data associated with the VRU/micro-mobility vehicle determined based on classifications of the VRU and the micro-mobility vehicles. The system may then generate a prediction that the VRU operating the micro-mobility vehicle will take a particular action based on the risk profile.
