Example

a(2) = 1: 12.
a(3) = 2: 132, 231.
a(4) = 5: 1324, 1423, 2314, 2413, 3412.
a(5) = 9: 13245, 14235, 15234, 23145, 24135, 25134, 34125, 35124, 45123.
a(6) = 40: 132465, 132564, ..., 561342, 562341.
a(7) = 111: 1324765, 1325764, ..., 6724531, 6734521.

Maple

b:= proc(u, o, t, k) option remember; `if`(u+o=0, 1, `if`(t>0,
       add(b(u+j-1, o-j, `if`(t=k, [-1, k], [t+1, k])[]), j=1..o),
       add(b(u-j, o+j-1, `if`(t=-k, [1, k+1], [t-1, k])[]), j=1..u)))
    end:
a:= n-> `if`(n=0, 1, add(b(j-1, n-j, 1, 1), j=1..n)):
seq(a(n), n=0..35);

Mathematica

b[u_, o_, t_, k_] := b[u, o, t, k] = If[u + o == 0, 1, If[t > 0, Sum[b[u + j - 1, o - j, If[t == k, -1, t + 1], k], {j, 1, o}], Sum[b[u - j, o + j - 1, If[t == -k, 1, t - 1], If[t == -k, k + 1, k]], {j, 1, u}]]];
a[n_] := If[n == 0, 1, Sum[b[j - 1, n - j, 1, 1], {j, 1, n}]];
