[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.

[Capabilities]
What we engineer
Reliable occupancy logic
Clear occupied, empty and object states, filtered against false triggers.
Calibration and drift control
Stable readings across temperature, wear and years of service.
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
- 01
Dependable occupancy
A signal other systems can rely on.
- 02
Fewer false alarms
Bags and objects are not counted as passengers.
- 03
Long service life
Stable performance without frequent recalibration.
