Abstract
AbstractThis article presents a method of analyzing how drivers' anthropometric data are best accommodated by a specific driver‐vehicle interface. Three‐dimensional (3‐D) manikins with 18 links were developed using anthropometric data for the U.S. 95th percentile male and 5th percentile female. In addition, an adjustable seating buck was constructed to control 7 package variables. After the manikins were positioned in each driving environment, 3‐D Cartesian coordinates for the manikins' articulations were determined using a coordinate measuring machine. The data were then converted into joint angles to suggest suitable driving environments that consider appropriate driving postures. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Hum Factors Man 14: 269–284, 2004.
