A passenger detection device for a vehicle is provided with multiple load
sensors, each of which detects a load on a seat of the vehicle within a
predetermined detection range of the load sensor, and an ECU that
determines passenger information of the seat. The ECU has at least one
calculation range, each of which limits the detection range of each
corresponding one of the multiple load sensors. The ECU determines the
passenger information based on a detection data value of each load
sensor, which is outputted from the load sensor and falls within the
corresponding calculation range of the load sensor.
