Provided is a boarding/deboarding controller that enables reduce time and effort for boarding and deboarding a vehicle of which canopy is opened or closed to allow a user boards or deboards. One aspect of the present disclosure provides a boarding/deboarding controller for a vehicle including a seat, an occupant compartment provided with the seat, and a canopy that moves to a closed position where the canopy covers the occupant compartment and to an opened position, which is situated upper than the closed position. The boarding/deboarding controller is configured to change a posture or position of the seat concurrently while the canopy is moved from the closed position to the opened position in an opened movement, or, from the opened position to the closed position in a closed movement.

Boarding/deboarding controller

A controller in a vehicle seat system is configured to execute a first pivot control to cause the second seatback to pivot at a first pivoting speed, a second pivot control to cause the second seatback to pivot at a second pivoting speed that is greater than the first pivoting speed, and a first determination process to determine, during execution of a tilt control, whether the second seatback will interfere with the first seatback. If the controller determines, during execution of the tilt control, that the second seatback will interfere with the first seatback, then the controller causes the first seatback to pivot and executes the first pivot control in at least a part of a pivoting process of the second seatback.

Vehicle seat system

A vehicle seat includes an air bag, and a controller. The air bag is for holding a posture of an occupant and configured to inflate as air flows in or deflate as air flows out of the air bag. The controller is configured to receive an input of a signal based on a steering angle of the vehicle and to control inflation or deflation of the air bag based on the signal. The controller is configured to enable an active-support mode to cause air to flow inside the air bag in response to the steering angle becoming greater than or equal to a predefined given angle.
