Abstract
Various disclosed embodiments include illustrative devices, systems, and methods for analyzing occupancy detection sensors. In an illustrative embodiment, a device includes a processor and a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions. The instructions are configured to cause the processor to receive an environmental value, send instructions to apply increasing forces to a seat portion of a seat, magnitude of sequential ones of the forces increasing over time, receive applied force values from a force applicator, receive a seat occupied signal from a seat sensor, record the applied force value associated with the applied force values in response to receiving the seat occupied signal, compare the recorded force value with a threshold force value associated with the received environmental value, and output a signal in response to the comparison.
