Home/Seat Occupancy Sensor

Seat Occupancy Sensor System

A safety device that reads which seat is occupied by weight, meets the belt reminder system in the same hub, and lets no one be left behind in the vehicle.

Overview

A system that knows every seat individually

The core job of a seat sensor is to give a definite answer to the question of whether someone is sitting in that seat. Because occupied seats appear on the driver's screen, no passenger or student is left behind in the vehicle. Weight-sensitive sensors are a globally accepted method for this task; Aplus ArGe brings these sensors together with its own central unit and seat belt reminder system into a single whole.

  • Occupied seats are listed on the driver's screen; the chance of anyone being left behind is eliminated.
  • Belt monitoring runs only on occupied seats, so unnecessary alarms are avoided.
  • A sensor structure that runs trouble-free for years with effortless maintenance.
  • Compliant with vehicle safety regulations, configurable to each vehicle.

FAQ

About the seat sensor

Thanks to its weight-sensitive structure, the sensor instantly answers whether someone is sitting in a seat. This data is sent to the central unit; occupied seats appear on the driver's screen and passengers being left behind in the vehicle is prevented.
Regulations generally require monitoring only the seats behind the driver's cabin; there is no such requirement for the seat next to the driver. Even so, if you wish, we can add that seat to the system and display it on the driver's screen. The system adapts to any configuration.
It is adapted to all bus, minibus and midibus class service vehicles, primarily Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit and Fiat Ducato. Ready-made sets are available for 1 to 64 seats.
Yes. The seat sensor is managed from the same central unit as the seat belt reminder system; if a belt is not fastened on an occupied seat, an audible and visual warning is triggered. This makes it easier for staff-transport vehicles to meet their occupational health and safety obligations.
The system scales from 1 to 64 seats. It is based on the passenger seats behind the driver's cabin and can be adapted to any layout, from a minibus to a large service vehicle. Just contact us for a configuration tailored to your vehicle.
The price varies according to the vehicle type, the number of seats and needs such as integration with the seat belt reminder system. Instead of a fixed list price, a quote tailored to your vehicle is provided. For an exact price, contact us with your seat count and vehicle type.
