Systems and methods for reconfiguring seats of an autonomous vehicle is provided. The method includes obtaining service request data that includes a service selection and request characteristics. The method includes obtaining data describing an initial seat configuration for each of a plurality of seats of an autonomous vehicle assigned to the service request. The initial seat configuration can include a seat position and a seat orientation for each of the plurality of seats. The method includes generating, based on the initial cabin configuration and the service request data, seat adjustment instructions configured to adjust the initial seat configuration of at least one of the seats. The method includes providing the seat adjustment instructions to the autonomous vehicle assigned to the service request.

Systems and methods for dictating motion for bi-directional vehicles is provided. The method includes obtaining passenger and map data. The passenger data identifies an orientation of a passenger and the map data identifies route attributes for one or more route segments. The method includes determining one or more motion constraints for a bi-directional vehicle and map constraints for a routing the bi-directional vehicle based on the passenger data and the map data. The motion constraints can identify a vehicle orientation with which the bi-directional vehicle can travel. The map constraints can identify one or more route segments restricted from travel by the bi-directional vehicle. The method includes generating a constrained route based on the motion and map constraint(s). The constrained route can include permitted route segments and movements for the bi-directional vehicle. The method can include initiating the motion of the bi-directional vehicle based on the constrained route.

The present disclosure provides a vehicle seat having a legrest with a seat cushion function, which may mount a legrest on a back portion of a front seatback to be deployable such that a passenger seated on a rear seat may place and support a calf and a foot on the deployed legrest, and recline a front seatback forward to use the deployed legrest as a seat cushion on which the passenger may be seated while facing a passenger seated on the rear seat.

A seating assembly for a vehicle includes a backrest extending between a first surface and a second surface. The second surface opposes the first surface. A first seat base operably couples with the backrest to form a first seat of the seating assembly. The backrest is pivotable between a first use position and a second use position. A second seat base is operably coupled via a connection interface with the backrest. The second seat base and the backrest form a second seat of the seating assembly in the second use position. The second seat faces away from the first seat in the second use position. A cross-sectional plane intersecting each of the first surface and the second surface defines a cross-sectional area of the backrest that remains constant between the first use position and the second use position of the backrest.

A release handle operable to modify a configurable furniture system of a boat is provided. The release handle includes a grip portion configured to be grasped by a user to rotate the release handle and a pivot portion coupled to the grip portion and including a first pivot point and a second pivot point. Both rotation about the first pivot point in a first direction and rotation about the second pivot point in a second direction operate to disengage a locking device and permit a modification of the configurable furniture system.

A vehicle seat device includes a seat cushion having a cushion front side and cushion rear side both running in the transverse direction of the seat device. The device also includes a seat back having two backrest edge sides opposite each other and each running in the transverse direction of the seat device. The seat back is arrangeable on the cushion front and rear sides of the seat cushion in order to change a seat direction. The seat back is mounted so as to be rotatable by at least 180° around a transverse axis in order to change the seat direction. At least one headrest unit is arranged on the seat back in a displaceable manner in such a way that it can be displaced beyond the backrest edge side facing away from the seat cushion in each case and can be displaced back under this backrest edge side.

The invention relates to a seat arrangement for a means of transport, in particular for a means of passenger transport, wherein the seat arrangement can be arranged on the means of transport by means of a fastening device, wherein the seat arrangement is intended and suitable for providing a sitting position at standing height, wherein the seat arrangement comprises at least one frame element, which is arranged on the fastening device by means of at least one mounting shaft, wherein the at least one mounting shaft is received in at least one receiving device of the fastening device, wherein the at least one receiving device is arranged on a fastening element which is configured as an arm element extending along a height axis.

A vehicle seat arrangement includes a vehicle seat arranged to be adjusted between a forward facing setup and a rearward facing setup and a seat support structure. The vehicle seat has three seat parts, where a second seat part is pivotably connected to both a first seat part and a third seat part. The second seat part is pivotably connected to the seat support structure. In the forward facing setup, the first and second seat parts make up a seat back and the third seat part make up a seat cushion. In the rearward facing setup, the first seat part make up the seat cushion and the second and third seat parts make up the seat back of the vehicle seat.

Systems and methods for dictating motion for bi-directional vehicles is provided. The method includes obtaining passenger and map data. The passenger data identifies an orientation of a passenger and the map data identifies route attributes for one or more route segments. The method includes determining one or more motion constraints for a bi-directional vehicle and map constraints for a routing the bi-directional vehicle based on the passenger data and the map data. The motion constraints can identify a vehicle orientation with which the bi-directional vehicle can travel. The map constraints can identify one or more route segments restricted from travel by the bi-directional vehicle. The method includes generating a constrained route based on the motion and map constraint(s). The constrained route can include permitted route segments and movements for the bi-directional vehicle. The method can include initiating the motion of the bi-directional vehicle based on the constrained route.
