The automotive industry has been looking for a way to meet the exacting standards of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and to keep costs reasonable and with the new launch of ELESYS' Low Risk Deployment airbag system, they may have found the solution. This new air bag sensor can classify the weight and size of seat occupants and detect the presence of a child safety seat to mitigate the injuries sometimes caused by airbag deployment. Airbags have long been known to be dangerous for children and adults of small stature. This new sensor system could protect passengers from airbag injuries.

ELESYS Announces Child Seat Static Suppression for Low Risk Airbag

The SeatSentry(TM) technology is based on electric-field technology. Using this electric-field (e-field) technology a low-level electric signal is sent to sensors in a seat cushion and/or seat back. The e-field can sense the presence, position and motion of a human body because of the human body's ability to conduct electricity. It can measure the human body mass by the size of the interference it causes within the e-field in the seat (cushion or seatback). The level of interference is directly related to the size of the body -- larger people create larger interferences. Conversely, if items such as a briefcase or Child Restraint Seat occupy the seat, very little interference is measured due to the non-conductive nature of the objects. If a human body is detected then a signal is sent to the airbag's electronic control unit (ECU) to suppress or to enable airbag deployment in accordance with the NHTSA FMVSS-208 Static Suppression for Advanced Airbags requirements for occupant
