Interior sensing

Our camera and radar systems for interior sensing detect driver drowsiness and children left behind in the car, while also serving as a means of driver authentication. With these systems, you will be in full compliance with the EU General Safety Regulation (GSR) and NCAP consumer tests until at least 2026.

Camera-based drowsiness detection

Camera-based systems for interior monitoring reliably detect whether the driver’s full attention is on the road or if they are showing signs of drowsiness. If the driver appears tired, the system will prompt them to take a break.

Within the EU, systems for detecting driver drowsiness are a mandatory requirement for all new vehicles as of July 2024. They help to prevent accidents and are a prerequisite for some assisted driving functions. A visual and acoustic warning notifies drivers in good time that their attention is diminishing and they should therefore take a break. In an assisted driving mode, such as Bosch driving assist in “hands-free” mode, drivers are instructed to assume control of the vehicle so that the journey can continue without accidents.

Occupant classification

In addition to driver attention monitoring, our cabin sensing radar and the occupant monitoring camera can be used to identify and classify other vehicle occupants, thereby enhancing both their safety and comfort.

Our image processing algorithms identify various occupant characteristics, including height, seating position, and movements within the vehicle interior. Based on these attributes, our systems classify occupants and determine their precise location inside the vehicle. In addition, radar-based information is used to detect the presence of children in the vehicle. As of July 2024, the EU General Safety Regulation (GSR) requires such systems to be fitted to all newly registered vehicles. This is to prevent small children being left alone in vehicles and exposed to the risk of heat stroke, for example.

OMC monitors and detects the entire vehicle interior by means of an image processing algorithm.

Authentication

Our smart occupant monitoring camera system reliably identifies drivers, enhancing both comfort and safety.

Video-based authentication uses facial recognition technology to verify a person’s identity. By utilizing complex algorithms, this technology identifies key facial features, such as the eyes, nose, and mouth. It can recognize the driver and activate personalized settings, enhancing both safety and comfort. Additionally, in security-related applications, it prevents unauthorized individuals from operating the vehicle.
