What Is The Definition Of The Global Occupant Classification System Market?
The occupant classification system (OCS) is a technology used in vehicles to detect the presence and characteristics of occupants in the front passenger seat. It typically uses sensors to determine whether the seat is occupied, the size and weight of the occupant, and whether to activate or deactivate the airbag based on these factors. It helps to improve safety by ensuring airbags deploy appropriately according to the occupant's characteristics, reducing injury risks in collisions.
