Ergonomics Evaluation of Different Car Seat Design

Abstract
Automobile seat design is always a big challenge for the designers. There are numbers of seats available in the market and each seat has different comfort level which is generally defined by the driver. This study is concentrated over three different car seat design (sedan) with the help of anthropometric parameters for the ergonomic evaluation. The aim of this research is to provide the choice to end users to access the car seat design suitable for them. The study has been carried out on three more used sedan cars in India with their different year models. It incorporates both short and tall person with their anthropometric data associated with driver cabin. In evaluation the seat back angle are 95, 105 and 125 for short and tall person. The response parameters used in evaluation are steering wheel clearance (q), boot space (r), head clearance(s), sitting height (t), knee angle (α), elbow angle (φ) and foot angle (γ). The one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) has been used to see the significant difference in several parameters separately. There is no significant difference was found for five responses i.e steering wheel clearance (q), boot space (r), knee angle (α), foot angle (γ) and elbow angle (φ). However significant difference was observed for sitting height (t) and head clearance (s) for some modal of cars. Honda city which has high head clearance (s) gives more comfort for tall individuals, however, Toyota corolla gives comfort sitting height (t) for tall individuals.
