  • Method for determining a body parameter of a person
    Patent number: 9798935
    Abstract: A method is described for determining a body parameter of a person outside a vehicle. The method may include capturing a first set of data of the person by a first data capturing device of the vehicle, the captured first set of data representative of a first body posture of the person, capturing a second set of data of the person by a second data capturing device of the vehicle, the captured second set of data representative of a second body posture of the person different from the first body posture, and using the first and second sets of data as input for estimation of the body parameter of the person. Use of a data capturing device of a vehicle is also described, and optionally a distance measurement system of the vehicle, for determining a body parameter of a person according to the method.

  • Safety arrangement
    Patent number: 7686117
    Abstract: A safety arrangement incorporates a seat-belt (3) to protect an occupant (2) of a vehicle seat (1). A control unit (11) incorporates a calculator (18) to calculate the weight of the occupant (2) of the seat occupant, by comparing the force (6) applied to the seat-belt by the seat occupant with the acceleration (14) of the compartment. A controller (19) controls a restraining force applied to the seat occupant by the safety-belt and, possibly, additional force limiting or energy absorbing devices such as an air-bag (8).
