Abstract
An occupant posture control method is provided that can suppress motion sickness. The occupant posture control method predicts a vehicle motion based on information relating to the vehicle motion, and imparts a stimulus that generates a muscle tension such that the occupant assumes a posture corresponding to the vehicle motion, when a predicted vehicle motion occurs.
Claims8
An occupant posture control method comprising:
- controlling a posture of an occupant of a vehicle based on information relating to a vehicle motion using a controller;
