Paper presents a novel idea of capacitive sensor for human presence detection. Due to the use of resonant circuit significant increase of sensor's sensitivity was achieved. In the case of human hand, value of output signal changes up to 421per cent. Moreover, sensor creates possibility of determination of the material of the detected object. As a result developed sensor can be applied for human presence detection sensors utilized in safety systems, which are especially suitable for underground transportation network.
