Person detection method enables simple, cost-effective determination esp. of position and/or wt. of person on vehicle seat - involves determining loads on individual wheels, computing position and/or wt. of object or person in vehicle from wheel loads and predetermined vehicle parameters

摘要

The method involves determining (10,12,14,16) the loads on the individual wheels of the vehicle and computing (22) the position and/or wt. of the object or person in the vehicle from the wheel loads and predetermined vehicle parameters. Changes in wheel loading are detected for a stationary vehicle for derivation of the position and./or wt. of a body.
