Abstract
The invention relates to an adjustable damping system for a vehicle seat for damping a movement of the seat part-side upper part relative to the body-side lower part in at least one spatial direction, wherein, for damping, at least one damping element is provided, which is adjustable by an adjustment device and is arranged between the seat part-side upper part and the body-side lower part. The damping system is further distinguished in that a first damping force of the damping element is settable by the adjustment device, wherein this first damping force can be determined by the adjustment device, with the aid of a total damping travel of the damping element, a basic damping force presettable by a damping setting device, a position of the seat part-side upper part, measurable by a sensor device, relative to the body-side lower part and a movement direction of the seat part-side upper part relative to the body-side lower part, wherein the movement direction can be determined from at least two temporally consecutive positions of the seat part-side upper part, measurable by the sensor device, relative to the body-side lower part.
