Fabric Flexible Sensor for Automobiles

A fabric flexible sensor is embedded in the seat to continuously monitor posture, body pressure, and subtle movements.

In the automotive industry, there is a constant demand for improving the comfort and safety of passengers. In particular, seats significantly affect comfort during long drives, and understanding the posture and condition of passengers is crucial for safe driving assistance systems. Traditional sensors have challenges with flexibility and durability, making it difficult to follow the shape and movement of the seat. Our fabric-like flexible sensors offer high flexibility and stretchability, allowing them to be arranged along the shape of the seat. This enables accurate detection of pressure distribution and visualization of the seating state and body pressure of passengers. 256 pressure sensors: High-density sensors cover the entire seat and accurately capture minute pressure changes. AI analysis of pressure changes allows for the recognition of fatigue and behavioral assessment, overcoming the limitations of traditional camera detection. [Application Scenarios] - Sensing pressure distribution of the seat - Monitoring seating state [Effects of Implementation] - Improved passenger comfort - Enhanced accuracy of safe driving assistance systems - Optimization of seat design
