for ingress/egress
- Facilitating a comfortable
seated posture
- Operating controls
- Visibility of interior/exterios space
- Accessing storage space
- Servicing the vehicle
- Providing space
for ingress/egress
- Locating of systems and
components in a vehicle
- Visibility analysis
- Driver, vehicle, targets, environment
- Field of view
- Indirect - mirrors, cameras
- Direct - eyes
- Fundamental design aim: To
enable a driver to always have
360 degree visibility around
vehicle
- Indirect - mirrors, cameras
- Driver, vehicle, targets, environment
- Comfort and convenience
in ingress/egress
- Seat comfort
- Loading/Unloading
cargo
- Servicing of vehicle
- Crashworthiness
- Human-Machine interface design
- Thermal comfort

- Many problems with drivers
entering/exiting vehicles
- Eldery
- People with shorter/longer legs
- People with tall torsos
- Eldery
- Seat comfort
- Packing
- 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
- 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
- 95t or 99th percentle eyellipses
- Used in vehicle design:
- Drivers view through windscreen
- Over bonnet
- Through windscreen
- Over bonnet
- Drivers view through mirrors
- Rear and side
- 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
- Need to increase the pillar size due
to roof-crush requirements,
reducing head impact injuries
- Wiper sweep areas
- Sunvisor location/size
- Drivers view through windscreen
- The statistical representation of the
left/right eye positons within a
vehicleused for visibility analysis
- 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
- Can it be seen through the 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
- Max reach zone - 95% of drivers can reach - extended finger tip and full grasp
- Ingress and egress
- Door opening (accomodating around A/B pillars and roof rail)
- Door opening angle
- Door opening angle
- Position of seat
- Position of steering wheel
- Door grap/ handle size and location
- Door opening (accomodating around A/B pillars and roof rail)
