    摘要: A method for managing vehicle occupant profiles includes detecting an unidentified radio device associated with a vehicle occupant, and localizing the radio device to a seat position. The method further includes updating an available vehicle occupant profile of the vehicle occupant with the detected and localized at least one unidentified radio device when other identified radio devices associated to the vehicle occupant are detected and localized to the seat position occupied by the vehicle occupant, establishing a new vehicle occupant profile of the vehicle occupant with the detected and localized at least one unidentified radio device when no other identified radio devices associated to the vehicle occupant are detected and localized to the seat position occupied by the vehicle occupant, and assigning a probability value to the updated or established vehicle occupant profile.

    摘要: A heating system for a vehicle wing element, wherein the wing element is moveably arranged between an open position and a closed position relative to a vehicle main structure. The heating system includes a heating element at a contact surface between the wing element and the main structure and a control unit for activating the heating element. The system further includes a wing element handle sensor and a wing element latch switch. The switch is operatively connected to the control unit for sending a signal indicative of its state to the control unit. The control unit is arranged to send an activation signal to the heating element when the control unit receives a signal from the wing element handle sensor that the handle is being pulled and a signal from the wing element latch switch that the wing element is closed.
