Vehicle seat support, seat assembly comprising such a support, and method for mounting in a vehicle
A vehicle seat support comprising two rails extending in a longitudinal direction, a central module slidably mounted on the rails and suitable for supporting the vehicle seat, a footrest slidably mounted on the rails in front of the central module and suitable for receiving the feet of an occupant seated on the seat, a first actuation system able to cause the central module to slide along the rails, and a second actuation system able to cause the footrest to slide along the rails independently of the central module.
SEAT CONTROL DEVICE, SEAT CONTROL METHOD, NON-TRANSITORY RECORDING MEDIUM
A seat control device includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to, based on a selection by an occupant of a vehicle, select a video display area for displaying a video from among a plurality of video display areas provided at the vehicle, determine an adjustment amount corresponding to the determined video display area for a vehicle seat provided in the vehicle, and, via a modulation section, modulate a position and posture of the vehicle seat based on the determined adjustment amount of the vehicle seat.
Motor vehicle and method of controlling a suspension system
A display unit in a motor vehicle presents information to a first user located in a personnel site. A frame carries the personnel site and a suspension system between the frame and the personnel site has at least one adjustable suspension characteristic. While the motor vehicle is being operated, a control system repeatedly determines a first gaze point of the first user on the display unit. Variations in a position for the first gaze point over time are analyzed; and in response thereto, the control system generates a first control signal to the suspension system so as to reduce a fluctuation of the position for the first gaze point, if a repositioning of the first gaze point is out of synchronization with a displacement of the display unit.
Roof airbag system and vehicle
A roof airbag system includes a roof airbag, a lifting mechanism, a collision sensor, memory, and a processor coupled to the memory. The roof airbag is provided at a roof portion of a vehicle, receives a supply of gas from an inflator and deploys toward an upper body side of a vehicle occupant sitting on a vehicle seat. The lifting mechanism is provided at a seat cushion side of the vehicle seat and lifts a thigh area of the vehicle occupant. A collision sensor detects a collision of the vehicle. The processor is configured to, when a seat back of the vehicle seat is tilted more than a predetermined angle to the seat rear side and the collision sensor detects a collision of the vehicle, control the lifting mechanism to lift the thigh area of the vehicle occupant and control operation of the inflator to deploy the roof airbag.
Vehicle seat management system
A vehicle seat management system configured to adjust one or more seats based on occupant and/or vehicular data. In one aspect, the occupant and/or vehicular data may be sent to a remote device for calculation of a seat adjustment algorithm. In another aspect, the seat adjustment algorithm may be sent via wireless transmission. In one example, the wireless transmission may be 5G.
