An occupant protection device includes at least one adaptive restraint system with a restraint device and a sensor device configured to acquire at least one occupant-specific parameter, and a control device. The control device is adapted and configured to control the restraint device at least in the event of an accident as a function of the occupant-specific parameter. The sensor device includes a textile pressure sensor integrated into a belt webbing of a seat belt and provides a large number of spatially distributed pressure signals. The sensor device includes an evaluation unit adapted and configured to register the pressure signals in a spatially resolved manner and ascertain a pressure distribution that describes a spatial distribution of a force exerted on the seat belt by the person wearing the seat belt and provide the pressure distribution as an occupant-specific parameter to the control device for controlling the restraint device.
