Comfort and convenience in ingress/egress
Seat comfort
Loading/Unloading cargo
Servicing of vehicle
Crashworthiness
Human-Machine interface design
Thermal comfort
Auditory/Vibratory comfort
Many problems with drivers entering/exiting vehicles
Eldery
People with shorter/longer legs
People with tall torsos
Eyellipses
The statistical representation of the left/right eye positons within a vehicleused for visibility analysis
95th percentile eyellipse for the right eye of the driver would show where 95% of right eyes would be located in the car for the design population
Rugby Ball shaped
95t or 99th percentle eyellipses
Used in vehicle design:
Drivers view through windscreen
Over bonnet
Through windscreen
Drivers view through mirrors
Rear and side
Obscurances due to pillars
Need to increase the pillar size due to roof-crush requirements, reducing head impact injuries
Max 6 degree binocular (overlapping) obstruction
Wiper sweep areas
Sunvisor location/size
Where to put the instrument cluster
Can it be seen through the steering wheel?
Use sightlines from 95 th percentile eyellipse down to rims of steering wheel
Where to put the controls in the vehicle
Max reach zone - 95% of drivers can reach - extended finger tip and full grasp
Min reach zone - shortest distance ‘most’ drivers can reach control without inconvenience
Primary/Secondary controls should be placed between the two
Ingress and egress
Door opening (accomodating around A/B pillars and roof rail)
Door opening angle
Position of seat
Position of steering wheel
Door grap/ handle size and location
