Abstract
The present invention relates to a system for classifying vehicle occupants, which enables an airbag to be deployed only for an occupant corresponding to a specific type or a specific condition. The system includes a detector installed in a vehicle seal and adapted to sense variation in current occurring when an occupant is seated in the seat and a controller for determining whether the occupant is seated and which type of occupant is sitting, using a current value measured by the detector, and transmitting a result of determination to an airbag control unit. The system reduces the likelihood of erroneous occupant classifications.
