Help: Solution for Detecting the No of persons sitting on a seat

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Hi,

I need help on detecting the number of persons sitting on a seat of short length. The way of sitting is same like we sit on a bike.. Please share your ideas after that i will discuss the ways implemented so far. I am limited by the knowledge in sensors Help will be appreciated.

    This sounds like an EE senior design project to me, am I correct? Edit: Maybe too advanced for a senior design, so a Master's Thesis?

    If you know the (average) weight of a person you can use a force sensor,such a load cell . If you need a budget solution, you could try to look to solutions like Takktile, but that does require proper understanding of force sensing mechanics, and proper callibration..

     

     

    I'm wondering how you can put several people on a single bicycle seat. Is this for acrobatics? If you have multiple seats, and just have to check how many seats are taken, you can use simpler sensors, such as capacitive sensing, or simple force sensitive resistors. If you can give more info, we can give better possible solutions.

    Thanks for the Reply: The load applied can vary according to the size,its very dynamic .. consider if we have to detect the number of persons sitting on the bike what will be the solutions for that. Load sensing cant be used...

    If you can't use load sensing, you'll have to use a camera and image processing, or ask someone to tell you how many people are on the saddle.
