Apparatus and method for adjusting pedals in a vehicle

摘要

Method and apparatus for adjusting one or more pedals in a vehicle including a motor for moving the pedal(s). The motor is controlled either manually or automatically based on one or more measured morphological characteristics of the driver and/or the determined location of the driver. Another apparatus and method include a measuring arrangement for measuring the height of the driver from the driver seat in the vehicle, a motor coupled to the pedal(s), and a processor or control circuit coupled to the measuring arrangement for receiving the measured height of the driver, determining a suitable position of the pedal(s) based on the measured height of the driver, which is likely satisfactory for the particular driver, and controlling the motor to move the pedal(s) to the determined position thereof. The processor may include an algorithm including a table representing measured heights and a position of the pedal(s) corresponding to each measured height.
