Abstract

A system for determining compliance includes an input interface and a processor. The input interface is for receiving an exterior camera data of a vehicle. The processor is for: identifying a person associated with the vehicle based at least in part on the exterior camera data; determining whether the person is complying with a safety rule; and in the event that the person is not complying, indicating that the person is not complying.

Claims

1. A system for determining compliance, comprising:

an input interface for receiving an exterior camera data of a vehicle; and

a hardware processor for;

in response to a detected vehicle state, identifying a person associated with the vehicle, based at least in part on the exterior camera data;

identifying changes in body positions of the person based at least in part on the exterior camera data;

determining whether the person is complying with a safety rule based at least in part on the identified changes in body positions of the person; and

in the event that the person is not complying;

indicating that the person is not complying.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the person comprises a driver.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the person comprises an employee passenger.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the person comprises a co-driver.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein complying with the safety rule comprises lifting with a straight back.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein complying with the safety rule comprises wearing proper gear.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the proper gear comprises a vest.

8. The system of claim 6, wherein the proper gear comprises a hard hat.

9. The system of claim 6, wherein the proper gear comprises safety glasses.

10. The system of claim 6, wherein the proper gear comprises a respirator mask.

11. The system of claim 6, wherein the proper gear comprises a uniform.

12. The system of claim 6, wherein the proper gear comprises a badge.

13. The system of claim 6, wherein the proper gear comprises a dosimeter.

14. The system of claim 6, wherein the proper gear comprises boots.

15. The system of claim 1, wherein complying with the safety rule comprises performing a safety action.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the safety action comprises putting out a cone.

17. The system of claim 15, wherein the safety action comprises placing a stop block.

18. The system of claim 1, wherein determining whether the person is complying with a safety rule is based at least in part on the vehicle state.

19. The system of claim 18, wherein the vehicle state comprises a lift gate state.

20. The system of claim 18, wherein the vehicle state comprises a rear door state.

21. The system of claim 18, wherein the vehicle state comprises an equipment power state.

22. The system of claim 18, wherein the vehicle state comprises a stop block state.

25. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to identify at least one of a joint and a limb, and the identification of the changes in body positions of the person is based at least in part on the identified at least one of a joint and a limb.

26. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to output preemptive feedback prior to determining whether the person is complying with a safety rule, based at least on part on a compliance history of the person.

27. The system of claim 1, wherein the detected state of the vehicle includes the vehicle being stopped for a period of time, the vehicle is shut off, the vehicle entered into a geographical area.

28. The system of claim 1, wherein the determination of whether the person is complying with a safety rule includes determining that the person is at least one of:

lifting with a straight back, wearing gear, or performing a safety action.

23. A method for determining compliance, comprising:

receiving an exterior camera data of a vehicle;

in response to a detected state of the vehicle, identifying, using a hardware processor, a person associated with the vehicle, based at least in part on the exterior camera data;

identifying changes in body positions of the person based at least in part on the exterior camera data;

determining whether the person is complying with a safety rule based at least in part on the identified changes in body positions of the person; and

in the event that the person is not complying;

indicating that the person is not complying.

24. A computer program product for determining compliance, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:

receiving an exterior camera data of a vehicle;

in response to a detected state of the vehicle, identifying a person associated with the vehicle, based at least in part on the exterior camera data;

identifying changes in body positions of the person based at least in part on the exterior camera data;

determining whether the person is complying with a safety rule based at least in part on the identified changes in body positions of the person; and

in the event that the person is not complying;

indicating that the person is not complying.
