Abstract
An example operation includes one or more of determining, by a transport, a number of items in the transport, determining, by the transport, a position of each of the items, and in response to a dangerous situation associated with the transport occurring, providing, by the transport, a safety notification associated with at least one of the items.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A method, comprising:
determining, by a transport, a number of items in the transport; determining, by the transport, a position of each of the items; and in response to a dangerous situation associated with the transport occurring:
providing, by the transport, a safety notification associated with one or more of the items.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the number of es in the transport comprises:
obtaining, by one or more cameras within the transport, camera images of an interior of the transport; comparing the one or more camera images to stored images of an empty transport; determining differences between the camera images and the stored images; and establishing a number of differences as the number of items.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the dangerous situation comprises another transport operating in an unsafe manner in proximity to the transport.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the position of each of the items comprises:
obtaining, by one or more cameras within the transport, camera images of an interior of the transport; identifying the one or more items from the camera images; and mapping the one or more items to location data of the transport interior.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the safety notification comprises one or more of a request for occupants of the transport to put down handheld devices, pay attention to surroundings of the transport, and a description of the dangerous situation.
6 . The method of claim 1 , comprising:
obtaining, by one or more sensors within the transport, a current position and weight of each item in the transport; determining, by the transport, a weight distribution of the items; and providing, by the transport, instructions to move one or more items to achieve a balanced weight distribution for the items in the transport.
7 . The method of claim 1 , comprising:
determining the dangerous situation within a time period, and one of: determining the transport is not started, and in response inhibiting the transport from starting until the dangerous situation is resolved; determining the transport is started and parked, and in response inactivating the transport; and determining the transport is started and not parked, and in response providing, by the transport, a second safety notification.
8 . A transport, comprising:
a processor; and a memory, coupled to the processor, comprising instructions that when executed by the processor are configured to:
determine, by a transport, a number of items in the transport;
determine, by the transport, a position of each of the items; and
in response to occurrence of a dangerous situation associated with the transport:
provide, by the transport, a safety notification associated with one or more of the items.
9 . The transport of claim 8 , wherein the processor determines the number of items in the transport comprises one or more cameras within the transport obtain camera images of an interior of the transport, the one or more camera images are compared to stored images of an empty transport, differences are determined between the camera images and the stored images, and a number of differences are established as the number of items.
10 . The transport of claim 8 , wherein the dangerous situation comprises another transport operates in an unsafe manner in proximity to the transport.
11 . The transport of claim 8 , wherein the processor determines the position of each of the items comprises one or more cameras within the transport obtain camera images of an interior of the transport, the one or more items from the camera images are identified, and the one or more items are mapped to location data of the transport interior.
12 . The transport of claim 8 , wherein the safety notification comprises one or more of a request for occupants of the transport to put down handheld devices, pay attention to surroundings of the transport, and a description of the dangerous situation.
13 . The transport of claim 8 , wherein one or more sensors within the transport obtain a current position and weight of each item in the transport, wherein the transport determines a weight distribution of the items, and the transport provides instructions to move one or more items to achieve a balanced weight distribution for the items in the transport.
14 . The transport of claim 8 , wherein the processor determines the dangerous situation within a time period, and the processor configured to one of:
determine the transport is not started, and in response inhibit the transport from starting until the dangerous situation is resolved; determine the transport is started and parked, and in response inactivate the transport; and determine the transport is started and not parked, and in response provide a second safety notification.
15 . A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:
determining, by a transport, a number of items in the transport; determining, by the transport, a position of each of the items; and response to a dangerous situation associated with the transport occurring:
providing, by the transport, a safety notification associated with one or more of the items.
16 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein determining the number of items in the transport comprises:
obtaining, by one or more cameras within the transport, camera images of an interior of the transport; comparing the one or more camera images to stored images of an empty transport; determining differences between the camera images and the stored images; and establishing a number of differences as the number of items.
17 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the dangerous situation comprises another transport operating in an unsafe manner in proximity to the transport, wherein the safety notification comprises one or more of a request for occupants of the transport to put down handheld devices, pay attention to surroundings of the transport, and a description of the dangerous situation.
18 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein determining the position of each of the items comprises:
obtaining, by one or more cameras within the transport, camera images of an interior of the transport; identifying the one or more items from the camera images; and mapping the one or more items to location data of the transport interior.
19 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to further perform:
obtaining, by one or more sensors within the transport, a current position and weight of each item in the transport; determining, by the transport, a weight distribution of the items; and providing, by the transport, instructions to move one or more items to achieve a balanced weight distribution for the items in the transport.
20 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to further perform:
determining the dangerous situation within a time period, and one of:
determining the transport is not started, and in response inhibiting the transport from starting until the dangerous situation is resolved;
determining the transport is started and parked, and in response inactivating the transport; and
determining the transport is started and not parked, and in response providing, by the transport, a second safety notification.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
