摘要:
A method and system for determining weight and/or position of a vehicle seat occupant to be used for controlling the reaction of a safety restraint system (12). A plurality of spaced weight sensors (14) are disposed between a seating surface and seat mounting surface to provide output signals indicative of an applied weight on each sensor. The sensors (14) are spaced such that the sensors measure the weight applied to a seat back and the seating surface. A controller (18) calculates the weight and/or position of the seat occupant in response to the output signals of the sensors (14). The controller (18) sends the weight and position of the seat occupant to the safety restraint system (12) to be used to tailor or suppress the reaction of the safety restraint system (12).

摘要:
A vehicle weight classification system (20) recognizes the various factors that influence system performance. Some of the factors are compensated for using analog signal processing circuitry or techniques. Other factors are compensated for using digital signal processing techniques. The unique combination of analog and digital approaches, rather than pure analog or pure digital, provides an effective solution at addressing the various factors that influence signals and system performance in a vehicle weight classification system while keeping the cost and complexity of the system within acceptable limits.
