A control system for a vehicle 102, especially a delivery vehicle, which detects the location of a user of the vehicle and controls the operation of the vehicle in accordance with the user's location. The control system comprises a tag 104a, 104b which may be carried by a user of the vehicle, e.g. a driver/assistant. A tag detector 106 comprises a plurality of transceiver units 108 disposed about the vehicle. When in range of one or more of the transceiver units, each of the tags emits a characteristic signature signal 152. Characteristics of the signature signal (i.e. amplitude, frequency and phase) are passed to a control unit 110 which generates a location signal indicative of the location of the detected tag. Operation of the vehicle, e.g. actuation of door locks, a load hatch lock, a handbrake lock, and ignition lock, and/or a warning system, is controlled in accordance with the location signal, possibly in addition to signals from other vehicle transducers, eg. a seat pressure pad. |
