Claim 18:
19. A pedal assembly comprising:
an outer housing having a cavity;
an inner housing having:
a proximate end and an opposite distal end,
an outer surface and an opposite interior surface,
a chamber extends between the proximate end and the distal end and is defined by the interior surface, and
a continuous wall positioned within the chamber of the inner housing and spaced apart from the interior surface,
wherein the inner housing slidably received within the cavity of the outer housing;

a pedal pad having an annular member extending from an inner surface of the pedal pad, the annular member coupled to the inner housing, the pedal pad and the inner housing configured to translate along a movement axis in response to a load applied to the pedal pad; and
a sensor assembly having:
at least one target member coupled to the outer surface of the inner housing, and
a first sensor configured to sense a position of the at least one target member, the first sensor is an inductive sensing sensor having a transmitting coil and at least one receiving coil, and
a second sensor, wherein the second sensor is a Hall Effect sensor,

wherein, during a translation of the inner housing along the movement axis, the at least one target member moves with the inner housing from a first position to a second position indicative of the movement of the inner housing within the cavity.
