ABSTRACT:
An occupant detecting system includes a temperature sensor that sequentially detects temperatures at a fixed position, a plurality of weight sensors disposed at predetermined positions of a seat to respectively provide weight signals, an occupant ECU. The ECU estimates temperatures of the weight sensors based on the temperatures sequentially detected by the temperature sensor and temperature characteristic data of the weight sensors relative to temperatures detected by the temperature sensor and corrects the weight signals based on the estimated temperatures.
