Abstract

A vehicle human detection device includes: a conductive detection electrode provided in a sheet shape to cover a surface of a housing; an insulation layer stacked to cover the detection electrode; a capacitive coupling prevention electrode stacked on an area of the insulation layer that covers a non-detection area of the detection electrode other than a preset detection area; and a detection control unit configured to apply an AC voltage to the detection electrode and detect that a human touches the detection area based on a change in a capacitance of the detection electrode.
