The invention relates to a sensor arrangement for seat occupation
detection, comprising a fiber-optic sensor network consisting of at least
two sensors. The sensor network detest for example local damping
modifications in a fiber network that are caused by microbends or
modifications of the Bragg wavelength of fiber-optic Bragg grating
sensors (FBGS) distributed in the fiber network that are ceased by loads.
The optical sensor network is resistant to electromagnetic parasitic
inductions. Due to the nature of the optical lass or polymer optical
fibers it is for example possible to integrate the network into the
textile cover of the seat or into a cushion.
