Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods of a safety system for monitoring the in-vehicle safety of internal objects within a vehicle. The safety system generates a digital twin of the interior objects from vehicle configuration data indicating a configuration of an interior environment of the vehicle, from interior object data associated with the interior object within the interior environment of the vehicle, and from vehicle situation data that indicates an operating status of the vehicle. The digital twin is an abstract model of the interior objects within the interior environment of the vehicle, and the safety system generates, based on the digital twin, a safety score associated with an operating behavior of the vehicle. Based on the safety score, the safety system determines a target level for the operating behavior.
