Various implementations include a device for monitoring gas that includes a sensor, a first conduit, a second conduit, a first valve, and a second valve. The sensor includes an inlet and outlet port and is configured to monitor a feature of the gas flowing through an HVAC unit. The first conduit includes a first end and a second end spaced apart from the first end. The second end of the first conduit is in fluid communication with the inlet port of the sensor. The second conduit includes a first end and a second end spaced apart from the first end. The first end of the second conduit is in fluid communication with the outlet port of the sensor. The first valve is upstream from and in fluid communication with the inlet port, and the second valve is downstream from and in fluid communication with the outlet port.

Gas monitoring device and system

An imaging system connected to an occupant monitoring system includes communications with an apparatus for measuring gas or airborne compound concentrations in a vehicle cabin. The apparatus includes a housing configured as a flow tube in fluid communication with ambient air in the vehicle cabin. A spectrometer is mounted within the housing and subject to ambient air flow through the housing, and the spectrometer is connected to a light source and receives reflected light from the air flow to detect by spectrum analysis the concentration of target gases and/or airborne compounds. The spectrometer identifies spectral changes in the light and reflected light within the ambient air flow. The spectrometer communicates with computerized vehicle control systems, and runs software stored to calculate the concentration of target gases and/or airborne compounds from the spectral changes.

Systems and methods of ambient gas sensing in a vehicle

In one embodiment, a system of detecting seat belt operation in a vehicle includes at least one light source configured to emit a predetermined wavelength of light onto structures within the vehicle, wherein at least one of the structures is a passenger seat belt assembly having a pattern that reflects the predetermined wavelength at a preferred luminance. At least one 3-D time of flight camera is positioned in the vehicle to receive reflected light from the structures in the vehicle and provide images of the structures that distinguish the preferred luminance of the pattern from other structures in the vehicle. A computer processor connected to computer memory and the camera includes computer readable instructions causing the processor to reconstruct 3-D information in regard to respective images of the structures and calculate a depth measurement of the distance of the reflective pattern on the passenger seat belt assembly from the camera.
