  • a plurality of seat actuating members operatively associated with the vehicle seat, the actuating members being adapted to control two or more different aspects of movement of the seat with respect to a vehicle and to support a load applied to the seat;

    sensors for monitoring movement of the vehicle and the seat actuating members, the sensors generating signals indicative of vehicle movement; and

    a control system to generate a counter movement of the seat actuating members in response to the sensor signals, producing seat movement relative to the vehicle and thereby limiting seat movement relative to the ground.
