Abstract

This research suggested a method of analyzing how the driver's anthropometric data would best be accommodated by a specific driver-vehicle interface. Three-dimensional manikins with 18 links were developed using US 95th percentile male and 5th percentile female's anthropometric data. In addition, an adjustable seating buck was constructed to control seven package variables. The levels of each package variables were determined according to the interior dimensions of mid-size passenger vehicles. After the manikins were situated on each derivable driving environment of the seating buck's package variable levels, 3-D cartesian coordinate values were collected from the manikin's articular points by using a coordinate measuring machine. The data were then converted into joint angles of manikins for suggesting suitable driving environments by considering appropriate driving postures.
