Abstract
Example vehicle occupancy management systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a method receives a current vehicle image representing a current interior of a vehicle. An occupancy management system detects at least one passenger in the vehicle based on the current vehicle image and determines a seating location of the passenger. A seat map is generated that identifies the seating location of the passenger in the vehicle.
