Abstract
A passenger protection system for a vehicle includes a vehicle sensor control system receiving input data from a plurality of vehicle sensors and from image data that corresponds to gestures presented by an occupant in the vehicle. The gesture is interpreted by a digital control sequence software to control an alert system in the vehicle used to prevent an occupant leaving a child unattended in the vehicle. The digital control sequence is configured for activating and de-activating an alert system after confirming the validity of gesture commands originating from authorized occupants. The alert system includes at least one of an audible alert and/or a visible alert and/or haptic alert that can be controlled according to the image data collected by an imaging device.
