DETERMINATION OF VEHICLE STATUS DATA VIA TRACKING OF CONNECTED DEVICES

A system for obtaining vehicle status data includes a position sensor configured to obtain position data for one or more connected devices in or around a vehicle. The vehicle has a plurality of seats including at least one seat without a passenger sensor. The position data is obtained based at least in part on radio frequency waves. A command unit is adapted to receive the location data. The command unit has a processor and a tangible non-transitory memory on which instructions are recorded. The command unit is adapted to obtain the vehicle status data in real time based in part on location data of the one or more connected devices, the vehicle status data comprising a total number of passengers in the vehicle. 一种用于获得交通工具状态数据的系统包括：位置传感器，被配置成获得针对交通工具中或周围的一个或多个所连接的设备的位置数据。所述交通工具具有多个座椅，所述多个座椅包括至少一个没有乘客传感器的座椅。所述位置数据是至少部分地基于射频波来获得的。命令单元被适配成接收所述位置数据。所述命令单元具有处理器和在其上记录指令的有形非瞬变存储器。所述命令单元被适配成：部分地基于所述一个或多个所连接的设备的位置数据来实时地获得所述交通工具状态数据，所述交通工具状态数据包括所述交通工具中的乘客的总数。
