The film sensor is used for measuring pressure distribution at planar area, especially at a small space or gap. The present paper deals with development of sensors of film type and system for body pressure distribution measuring. The developed system is consist of (1)film sensor with 40*40 array, (2)PCI interface card with maximum sampling rate of 120Hz, and (3)software for data processing and real-time display. A body pressure distribution using vehicle seat experiment revealed that the system successfully measured the body pressure distribution during static and dynamic state. Appropriate contact force of the seat is suggested by this study. The function of body pressure distribution has predominantly performed when the pressure is acted on its surface with human body.
