An advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) controls a vehicle using two or more of: static objects, a vehicle heading angle, or a vehicle curvature at least when a satellite navigation signal is weak or lost. Distances from the vehicle to the static objects are measured by sensor(s) to be the same in both coordinate systems, and the vehicle location is found as an intersection between circles in the ground coordinate system. The ADAS can use sums of transverse and longitudinal distances, with a vehicle heading angle or a vehicle curvature, to determine the vehicle location with a weak or lost satellite signal, such as using a linear vehicle model or a curvature-based vehicle model.

An occupant monitoring system for a vehicle comprises: a first light source to generate first infrared (IR) light illuminating at least part of the body of an occupant of a vehicle, wherein the first light source is time modulated with a duty cycle; an IR reflective surface to reflect second IR light reflected from the body of the occupant; and a first IR camera to receive at least part of the second IR light reflected by the IR reflective surface, wherein the first IR camera is time modulated with the duty cycle of the first light source.
