Abstract
An occupant detection system, includes a sensor, a controller, a base frame, and a heat insulator. In this occupant detection system, the sensor measures a weight of an occupant sitting on the vehicle seat. The controller detects a presence of the occupant on the vehicle seat. The base frame is fixed to one of a vehicle seat or a vehicle body and accommodates the sensor. The heat insulator is provided on the base frame and prevents a heat transfer between the base frame and the sensor.
