Abstract
A pedal system includes a user interface, e.g., a pedal for contacting by a driver of a vehicle, a force sensor, and a force transfer member between the user interface and the force sensor. A force applied to the user interface is detected and measured by the force sensor. One or more membranes, e.g., two membranes, are arranged at an outer surface of the force transfer member to decouple off-center loading and non-uniform forces, e.g., resulting from off-center force application at the user interface.
