PREDICTING PRESSURE LEVEL FELT UNDER THE SEAT PAN DUE TO CHANGES IN DRIVING POSITION

Abstract

In
ergonomics perspective, car seat is defined as one of the main workstation when
the driver is performing driving task. The car seat itself provides support and
space for the driver over the head, at the upper and lower back, at the buttock
and also at the thigh. There has been abundant research regarding car seat in
the past decades. However, in spite of vast studies on this issue, limited
studies were found on sitting effect to the pressure when adopting different
driving position. Hence, this study integrates objective and subjective
evaluation to predict pressure felt level. Mapping of the pressures
distribution was taken to the seat pan. This study is a static field experiment
where data acquired are in the quantitative form. Findings show that the
pressure of the heavier subject is more scattered at the buttock area, while the
lighter subject has mild stress concentrated under ischium tuberosity.
