摘要

PURPOSE: An OCS(Occupant Classification System) for a vehicle is provided to ensure improved occupant classification performance by applying electric fields created by two electrodes only on the top of a seat. CONSTITUTION: An OCS for a vehicle includes a heater part and an occupant classification sensor(10). The heater part is located under a seat cover. The occupant classification sensor is installed on the top of the heater part and senses an occupant. In the occupant classification sensor, two electrodes(11,13) are arranged side by side on the same plane.
