PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a stable seating posture by suppressing motions of legs at a pedal operation to the minimum.SOLUTION: This pedal device comprises: a physical region calculation device 300 which calculates positions of ankles and knees in a state that a driver is seated on a seat in a vehicle; a collision detection sensor 350 which detects a possibility of a collision of the vehicle; a pedal 104 to which pedal-in operations of legs of the driver are transmitted; a toe fixture for fixing the leg of the driver to the pedal 104 when the possibility of the collision occurs; an abutment position estimation part 402 which estimates that which portions inside the vehicle the leg of the driver abuts on at the collision according to the calculated positions of the ankles and the knees; and a pedal drive part 200 which moves a position of the pedal so that the leg of the driver abuts on an impact absorption part on the basis of an estimation result by the abutment position estimation part 402.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8
【課題】ペダル操作時の足の動きを最小限に抑え、安定した着座姿勢を提供する。【解決手段】本発明のペダル装置は、運転者が車両内のシートに着座した状態で、足首と膝の位置を算出する身体部位算出装置300と、車両の衝突の可能性を検出する衝突検出センサー350と、運転者の足の踏込操作が伝達されるペダル104と、衝突の可能性がある場合に、運転者の足をペダル104に対して固定するつま先固定具と、算出した足首と膝の位置に応じて、衝突時に運転者の足が車両内のどの部分に当接するかを推定する当接位置推定部402と、当接位置推定部402による推定結果に基づいて、運転者の足が衝撃吸収部に当たるように前記ペダルの位置を移動するペダル駆動部200と、を備える。【選択図】図8
