In seating comfort research, it is known that the pressure should not exceed a certain threshold from viewpoint of tissue compression and be widely distributed. However, its ideal distribution defined in past research. It also comfortable always constant has individual differences. assumed this due to influence differences body shape, such as skeletal shape flesh seated person, sitting posture,...

In this study, the effects of structural parameters forming automobile seat cover fabrics on comfort properties (such as water vapor permeability, air permeability and thermal resistance fabrics) that may affect vehicle usage performance person were examined. The used in experimental study had not undergone any special finishing processes it was aimed to evaluate direct (without treatment) effe...

In development of the automobile industry, lightweight and safety performance are contradictory, yet they great significance.The optimization process auto parts is a high-dimensional problem which has variety regulations limits tests at same time. order to address this issue, hierarchical multi-objective passenger car seat frame carried out in research. Different from previous researches, paper...

The current design paradigm of car cabin components assumes seats aligned with the driving direction. All passengers are driver that, until recently, was only element in charge controlling vehicle. new self-driving cars eliminates several those requirements, releasing from control duties and creating opportunities for entertaining during trip. This creates need functionalities that must be clos...

This study provides an exposure and risk assessment of diundecyl phthalate (DUP), a high molecular weight phthalate plasticizer present in automobile interiors. Total daily intake of DUP was calculated from DUP measured in wipe samples from vehicle seats from six automobiles. Four of the vehicles exhibited atypical visible surface residue on the seats. Two vehicles with no visible surface resid...

Objective: To develop a new sitting spinal model and an optimal driver’s seat by using review of the literature of seated positions of the head, spine, pelvis, and lower extremities. Data Selection: Searches included MEDLINE for scientific journals, engineering standards, and textbooks. Key terms included sitting ergonomics, sitting posture, spine model, seat design, sitting lordosis, sitting e...
