Abstract

Vehicles and related systems and methods are provided for calibrating a sensing arrangement within an interior compartment of the vehicle. One method involves initiating operation of an interior component of the vehicle, obtaining one or more signals from the sensing arrangement within the interior compartment of the vehicle, wherein a characteristic of the one or more signals is influenced by the operation of the interior component, determining a measured position of the interior component based at least in part on the characteristic of the one or more signals, obtaining a reference position associated with the interior component, and determining a calibration offset for a reference axis associated with the sensing arrangement based on a relationship between the measured position and the reference position, wherein subsequent operation of the vehicle is influenced by the calibration offset associated with the sensing arrangement.
