Method for Evaluating Reflector Answer Signals of a System for Recognizing the Occupancy of a Seat

摘要

A method determines reference values that are used for calculating the damping thickness d in a seat occupancy recognition system. Several reflector answer empty values are initially measured for an unoccupied seat, the empty values being, for example, allocated, respectively to a predetermined seat position of the seat and a specific reception antenna. A reflector answer reference value allocated to a seat reflector or the seat is determined with the aid of a predetermined algorithm and from the measured reflector answer empty values.
