Sensor system for steering wheel for vehicle

A sensor system for a steering wheel of a vehicle includes a first sensor disposed within a first portion of the steering wheel to detect contact with a front left surface of the steering wheel. The sensor system includes a second sensor disposed within a second portion of the steering wheel separate from the first portion to detect contact with a front right surface of the steering wheel. The sensor system also includes a third sensor disposed within the steering wheel to detect contact with a rear surface of the steering wheel. The first, second and third sensors are configured to respectively detect touching of the front left surface, the front right, and the rear surface of the steering wheel by a hand or a non-hand part of an operator of the vehicle. The first, second and third sensors can be complex impedance sensors. 种用于车辆的方向盘的传感器系统包括第传感器，其设置在方向盘的第部分内，以检测与方向盘的左前表面的接触。传感器系统包括第二传感器，其设置在方向盘的与第部分相分离的第二部分内，以检测与方向盘的右前表面的接触。传感器系统还包括第三传感器，其设置在方向盘内以检测与方向盘的背面的接触。第、第二和第三传感器被配置成分别检测车辆的操作者的手或非手部位对方向盘的左前表面、右前表面和背面的触
