Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vehicle occupant monitoring device and method capable of accurately predicting the number of passengers in a vehicle without help of expensive equipment. A vehicle occupant monitoring device includes a vehicle data provider 100 configured to provide vehicle data collected from a vehicle, and an occupant prediction service provider 200 configured to predict vehicle occupants by analyzing the vehicle data from the vehicle data provider 100 by an artificial intelligence method.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are an apparatus for controlling a solenoid valve and a control method thereof. The apparatus for controlling the solenoid valve, which controls the solenoid valve including a solenoid coil, includes a switching part configured to switch a current supplied to the solenoid coil; a pre-driver configured to output a driving signal for driving the switching part; and a microcontroller unit (MCU) configured to control the pre-driver so that a frequency of the driving signal output from the pre-driver to the switching part is randomly varied.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a solenoid valve control apparatus and method. The solenoid valve control apparatus to control a solenoid valve which include a solenoid coil and is opened and closed by current supplied to the solenoid coil, includes a switching unit which switches the current supplied to the solenoid coil, a pre-driver unit which outputs a driving signal to drive the switching unit, a current detection unit which detects the current flowing in the solenoid coil, and an MCU which controls the pre-driver unit so as to output the driving signal from the pre-driver unit to the switching unit such that a value of the current detected by the current detection unit reaches a target current value during current control of the solenoid valve and controls the pre-driver unit such that a frequency of the output driving signal is varied during output of the driving signal.
