1. A load sensing system comprising:
- at least one front sensor that senses a load, which is applied to a front part of a seat of a vehicle; and
at least one rear sensor that senses a load, which is applied to a rear part of the seat, wherein a size of an entire load sensing range of each front sensor is smaller than a size of an entire load sensing range of each rear sensors,wherein the load sensing range of each front sensor includes;
a positive load sensing subrange for sensing a downward load, which is applied to the front part of the seat in a downward direction; and
a negative load sensing subrange for sensing an upward load, which is applied to the front part of the seat in an upward direction;
the load sensing range of each rear sensor includes;
a positive load sensing subrange for sensing a downward load, which is applied to the rear part of the seat in the downward direction; and
a negative load sensing subrange for sensing an upward load, which is applied to the rear part of the seat in the upward direction; and
a size of the positive load sensing subrange of each front sensor is smaller than a size of the positive load sensing subrange of each rear sensor.

Abstract
Each front sensor senses a load, which is applied to a front part of a seat, and each rear sensor senses a load, which is applied to a rear part of the seat. A size of an entire load sensing range of each front sensor is smaller than a size of an entire load sensing range of each rear sensor.
