Methods, systems, and devices for an automated ingress and egress system. The system may include a rear back door of a vehicle. The system may further include a seat and a frame coupled to the seat and a floor of the vehicle. The frame may move the seat from inside a cabin of the vehicle to outside the cabin through the rear back door. The system may further include an electronic control unit (ECU) electrically connected to the rear back door and the frame. The ECU may control the rear back door to open the rear back door, control the frame to move the seat from inside the cabin to outside the cabin through the rear back door, control the frame to move the seat from outside the cabin to inside the cabin through the rear back door, and control the rear back door to close the rear back door.

An electric seatback-folding device for emergency escape enables a controller to accurately recognize whether a seatback (or a seatback frame) is in a locked state or an unlocked state using a microswitch. Folding of the seatback for emergency escape is smoothly performed without malfunction or a control error by operation of a motor in response to a current control signal of the controller.

A seat control apparatus includes a first driving part, a second driving part and a controller. The apparatus is configured to receive a user input on a walk-in mode through an input part, and based on the received user input, the apparatus controls a slide location of a seat to a walk-in location area corresponding to the walk-in mode by using the first driving part, and controls a reclining angle of the seat to a walk-in angle area corresponding to the walk-in mode by using the second driving part. In particular, when the user input is received again through the input part, the apparatus restores the reclining angle of the seat from the walk-in angle area to an un-walk-in angle area by using the second driving part.

The disclosure relates to a method for adjusting at least one interior element of a vehicle. In this process, an occupant state signal is detected which signals that a specified pathological state of an occupant of the vehicle at least restricts their ability to drive the vehicle to a specified extent. An emergency assistance system is then activated to perform at least one support measure for the occupant. An adjustment measure is then performed in order to adjust at least one interior element of the vehicle to a specified target position. The target position is chosen here such that a movement space delimited by the at least one interior element is increased for access to and/or exit for the occupant.

A configurable seat system with a collapsible seat cushion frame is described. The seat system can incorporate a kinematic structure at the seat cushion frame, such that the kinematic structure can be adjusted to cause the seat cushion to have a variable thickness/height. The adjustable seat enables convenient egress/ingress of a region of a passenger compartment and also convenient extension of a cargo bay area. One or more motors can be utilized to adjust respective position of respective components included in the seat system. Operation of the motors can be enabled in response to selection of a button, e.g., flat fold configuration, entry/exit configuration, and such. Hence, an occupant of the vehicle only has to press a button to adjust the seat position with the one or more motors in conjunction with respective linkages/seat structure regardless of the mass of the seat system.

A seat unit for a passenger of an aircraft, including a seat and a shell, the seat including a sitting portion and a backrest movable on a base, respectively actuated by a motor-driven mechanism, the unit including a means for detecting the presence of the passenger on the seat, the seat being configured to adopt a takeoff/taxiing/landing position when a presence of the passenger is detected, in which the sitting portion is away from the shell and in which the backrest is reclined in the direction of the shell, and a docking position when a presence of the passenger is not detected, in which the sitting portion is close to the shell, and in which the backrest is substantially parallel to the shell, so as to widen the egress between two seat units.

An entry/egress system for a vehicle includes a housing mountable to a structural member in the vehicle. An actuator is arranged at the housing. The actuator is connectable to a source of electrical power in the vehicle. A lift mechanism is operatively connected to the actuator. A support member is operatively connected to the lift mechanism. The support member is selectively shiftable between a user entry position and a user egress position. A control system is operatively connected to the actuator. The control system is operable to shift the support member to one of the user entry position and the user egress position.

Systems, methods, tangible non-transitory computer-readable media, and devices associated with the operation of a vehicle are provided. For example a vehicle computing system can receive occupancy data that includes information associated with occupancy of a vehicle that includes seats. One or more states of the vehicle can be determined. The states of the vehicle can include a disposition of any object that is within the vehicle. Further, a configuration of the seats in the vehicle can be determined based on the occupancy data and the states of the vehicle. The configuration can include a disposition of the seats inside the vehicle. Furthermore, at least one of the seats can be adjusted based on the configuration that was determined.

Methods, systems, and devices for an automated ingress and egress system. The system may include a rear back door of a vehicle. The system may further include a seat and a frame coupled to the seat and a floor of the vehicle. The frame may move the seat from inside a cabin of the vehicle to outside the cabin through the rear back door. The system may further include an electronic control unit (ECU) electrically connected to the rear back door and the frame. The ECU may control the rear back door to open the rear back door, control the frame to move the seat from inside the cabin to outside the cabin through the rear back door, control the frame to move the seat from outside the cabin to inside the cabin through the rear back door, and control the rear back door to close the rear back door.

The present disclosure provides a seat adjustment apparatus of a vehicle and a vehicle including the same. The vehicle includes a first row of seats and a second row of seats positioned behind the first row of seats, the first row of seats includes a first seat and a second seat, and a passage for passenger traffic is provided between the first seat and the second seat, and the seat adjustment apparatus of the vehicle includes: a vehicle interior passenger sensor that detects a passenger on the first row of seats; and a vehicle exterior passenger sensor that detects a passenger outside the vehicle attempting to board the vehicle, in which, when it is determined that there is a passenger attempting to go to the second seat through a front of the first seat according to the detection results of the vehicle interior passenger sensor and the vehicle exterior passenger sensor, the first seat is configured to move backward.
