Abstract
A method for dynamic adaptation of the support, in particular the lateral support, of a person seated on a vehicle seat includes using an adaptation system, which is integrated in the vehicle seat, to determine the adaptation taking into account the current vehicle velocity. In order to compensate for the inherent inertia of the adaptation system, prediction of the adaptation is performed from stored data over the current road course, onto which data the current vehicle data are projected. The adaptation system is actuated taking into account the adaptation time inherent in the system in such a way that, when the event requiring the adaptation occurs, preferably when a bend is traveled through, at least one adaptation presetting is achieved.
