초록 ▼

An occupant detection system that includes an electrode arranged proximate to an expected location of an occupant for generating an electric field between the electrode and the occupant proximate thereto. An electrical network coupled to the electrode forms a resonant circuit that includes the occupant as part of the resonant circuit. A controller coupled to the resonant circuit is configured to determine a resonant frequency of the resonant circuit indicative of an occupant presence, and a network signal magnitude at the resonant frequency indicative of a humidity value proximate to the electrode. 7. A method for detecting a vehicle applies an excitation signal to the resonant circuit, determine a resonant frequency of the resonant circuit and determines a humidity value based on a network signal magnitude at the resonant frequency.

An occupant detection system comprising: an electrode arranged proximate to an expected location of an occupant for generating an electric field between the electrode and the occupant proximate thereto;an electrical network coupled to the electrode to form a resonant circuit that includes the occupant as part of the resonant circuit; anda controller coupled to the resonant circuit, said controller configured to determine a resonant frequency of the resonant circuit indicative of an occupant presence, and determine a network signal magnitude at the resonant frequency indicative of a humidity value proximate to the electrode byapplying an excitation signal to a resonant circuit that includes the occupant as part of the resonant circuit, said excitation signal having an excitation frequency,detecting a network signal arising in response to the excitation signal, said network signal having a network signal magnitude,determining a resonant frequency corresponding to the excitation frequency that causes a peak network signal magnitude, anddetermining a humidity value based on the network signal magnitude at the resonant frequency. 2. The occupant detection system in accordance with claim 1, wherein said electrode is adjacent a seating surface of a vehicle seat to sense the occupant seated in the vehicle seat. 3. The occupant detection system in accordance with claim 1, wherein said controller includes a signal generator coupled to the resonant circuit and configured to output an excitation signal having an excitation frequency, and a voltage detector arranged to measure the network signal magnitude in response to the excitation signal. 4. The occupant detection system in accordance with claim 3, wherein said controller is configured to vary the excitation frequency and measure the network signal magnitude to determine the resonant frequency and the humidity value. 5. The occupant detection system in accordance with claim 1, wherein said controller is configured to determine a wet seat fault condition if the network signal magnitude at the resonant frequency is less than a threshold. 6. The occupant detection system in accordance with claim 1, wherein said electrical network includes a network capacitance part operable to change a capacitance value of the network capacitance part effective to change the resonant frequency of the resonant circuit. 7. A method for detecting a vehicle occupant comprising the steps of: applying an excitation signal to a resonant circuit that includes the occupant as part of the resonant circuit, said excitation signal having an excitation frequency;detecting a network signal arising in response to the excitation signal, said network signal having a network signal magnitude;determining a resonant frequency corresponding to the excitation frequency that causes a peak network signal magnitude; anddetermining a humidity value based on the network signal magnitude at the resonant frequency. 8. The method in accordance with claim 7, wherein the method further comprises determining a wet seat fault condition if the network signal magnitude at the resonant frequency is below a threshold.
