Beyond Weight Sensors: How Tactile Sensing Could Transform Occupant Classification

As vehicle restraint systems become more intelligent, accurately understanding who is sitting in each seat and how they are positioned is becoming just as important as detecting that someone is there.
Existing occupancy sensing technologies, including weight sensors, cameras and radar, each have limitations when it comes to reliably classifying occupants across different body types and seating scenarios. We spoke with Christine Fraser, Co-Founder & COO of Brighter Signals, about how tactile sensing could provide a new layer of occupant intelligence, improve classification accuracy for vulnerable passengers, and help enable safer, more personalised restraint systems.
