Occupant Packaging
Workspace Anthropometry : Conventional Static Measurements anthropologist (are taken on the human body in rigid , standarized position) Functional Task Oriented Measurements Engineer Designer (are taken with the human body at work , in motion or in workspace attitude and typically are expressed as 3 dimensions.)

Driver workspace design and evaluation models


Task Oriented Percentile Models - Use anthropometric data to Define a user population startified across stature , weight and - Conduct test for specific task(reach, eye location) to develop statistical models defining spatial requirements - Assume that sample populations defined user requirements - assumes user needs are expressed by a central tendency with exclusion at both ends , for example 95 percent accommodation with 2.5 percent excluded at each end. - many level of accommodation are described , but only for the task studied - Results in well defined statistical model that defines accommodation levels for specific task Manikin Oriented Models - Uses anthropometric data to define percent male and 5 percent female 95

- uses manikins or selected large (95%) male and small (5%) female to define spatial requirements - Assume that Specified large males and small female comprehend all user requirements - Assume that 2-D (or 3-D) manikins can predict or model human requirements - Assume that a given percentile person is definable from the some of parts - Many task are measured and evaluated , but only for a defined small and large user - Result in questionably defined geometric manikin models that predict accommodation for only two extreme percentile people

Computer Aided Ergonomic Design of automobile


Engineers will simulate driver behavior and measure key criteria such as reach, visibility, comfort, posture, biomechanics, strength and anthropometrics. This analysis will enable the team to make driver-oriented decisions about cockpit design, while respecting the overall aerodynamics of the racecar body.

The SAMMIE System


The SAMMIE system is a computer based Human Modeling tool. Its capabilities make it an invaluable tool to designers and design teams working on products that are used by people. The system offers the following advantages: 3D analysis of fit, reach, vision and posture. reduced timescale. early input of ergonomics expertise. rapid interactive design. improved communication. cost effective ergonomics

Automotive Seat Design For Sitting Comfort


Criteria for a driver s seat : 1: the set should position the driver with unobstructed vision and within reach of all vehicle control 2: the seat must accommodate the driver s size and shape 3: the seat should be comfortable for extended period 4: the seat should provide a safe zone for the driver in a crash

Safety Tips In Crash

Safety in a race car is the art of protecting the human occupant, at whatever cost to the car. Designing the car to be damaged minimally while hindering driver safety is definitely the wrong approach. The diagram shows that pretty much any part of the body exposed to the chassis of the race car is at risk. Injuries occur because the body sustains impacts beyond the G (gravities) level that it can sustain.

Use energy absorbing materials in the collapsable crash structure For light weight, use a stressed skin over a lightweight core material Triangulate the driver "safety cell" to prevent collapse Use a clear windscreen or bodywork to increase vision Keep the fuel cell and battery away from the driver and danger. Don't scrimp on safety.

Design Of Symbols For Automobile Control and Displays


1) Digital meters Discreet digital meters maximize forward visibility and help create a sense of uncluttered spaciousness. 2) Triangle-motif steering wheel The triangle-motif steering wheel helps harmonize exterior and interior design, for a feeling of unity throughout. 3) Centrally positioned audio panel A 2DIN opening for audio components is centrally positioned at the top of the instrument panel for easy access and visibility. 4) Textured dashboard and console The dashboard centre, floor console, and front pillars are trimmed with a new textured material with a refined look and feel. 5) Sporty two-tone fascia The sporty two-tone fascia adds a touch of pizzazz to the Liana's interior.
