Effects of Seat and Sitter Dimensions on Pressure Distribution in Automotive Seats

Park, Jangwoon / Kim, K. Han / Reed, Matthew P. / Jones, Monica Lynn Haumann / Ebert-Hamilton, Sheila

Seat fit is characterized by the spatial relationship between the seat and the vehicle occupant’s body. Seat surface pressure distribution is one of the best available quantitative measures of this relationship. However, the relationships between sitter attributes, pressure, and seat fit have not been well established. The objective of this study is to model seat pressure distribution as a function of the dimensions of the seat and the occupant’s body. A laboratory study was conducted using 12 production driver seats from passenger vehicles and light trucks. Thirty-eight men and women sat in each seat in a driving mockup. Seat surface pressure distribution was measured on the seatback and cushion. Relevant anthropometric dimensions were recorded for each participant and standardized dimensions based on SAE J2732 (2008) were acquired for each test seat. Regression models were effective in predicting characteristics of pressure distribution from the anthropometric variables and SAE J2732 dimensions. The resulting models may be useful to evaluate virtual fit simulations of the interaction between the seat and sitter.
