[The challenge]

A seat sensor must tell a passenger from a shopping bag, survive constant use and stay stable as temperatures change and materials age. Unreliable occupancy data is worse than none.

[Architecture]

How the system fits together

Sensor mat, conditioning electronics and an embedded controller form one calibrated unit that reports a clean occupancy state to the systems around it.

    Sensor mat

    Pressure or capacitive

  2. N02

    Conditioning

    Filtering and calibration

  3. N03

    Controller

    Clean occupancy state

  4. N04

    Vehicle systems

    Taximeter, cabin and telematics

[Capabilities]

What we engineer

  1. Pressure and capacitive sensing

    Sensor stacks selected for the seat, the vehicle and the use case.

  2. Reliable occupancy logic

    Clear occupied, empty and object states, filtered against false triggers.

  3. Calibration and drift control

    Stable readings across temperature, wear and years of service.

  4. Clean vehicle integration

    Simple electrical and data interfaces to taximeters, cabin systems and telematics.

Quality and compliance

Validated for durability and electrical robustness in the vehicle, with documented calibration.

Integration

Taximeters, in-cabin vision, telematics modules and seat-belt reminders.

[Outcomes]

What changes in the field

  1. 01

    Dependable occupancy

    A signal other systems can rely on.

  2. 02

    Fewer false alarms

    Bags and objects are not counted as passengers.

  3. 03

    Long service life

    Stable performance without frequent recalibration.
