This document outlines 3 steps for designing comfortable and safe car seats at the vehicle concept stage. Step 1 is to use driver models and the SAE J826 ("Oscar") guidelines to evaluate ergonomics and comfort. Step 2 is to use the same to ensure safety and comfort compliance with Federal regulations. Step 3 is to optimize the seat design for different driver postures while meeting Oscar guidelines to achieve the best comfort scores. The document emphasizes that ERL's driver models are uniquely validated to design seats accommodating all drivers at the initial concept phase.

Car seat design for driver satisfaction
J. D. Power survey reports seats in car are next to last in satisfaction despite historical high in quality. Add-on content to basic seat design does not change satisfaction rank. Since seats are for sitting, drivers must not be able to sit as they prefer. Car seat design guidelines must improve accommodation for variation in sitting postures.
Auto seat design and sitting comfort
- 40 drivers participated in a study that tested the comfort of two different auto seat designs (Drive A and Drive B) over 2-hour highway drives.
- The seat tested in Drive B was modified from the production seat used in Drive A based on discomfort findings.
- Measurements of drivers in both drives found that the modified seat in Drive B resulted in drivers adopting a more neutral spinal posture compared to the slumped posture with the original seat.

Design review of a car seat for ergonomics
This document discusses parameters for designing car seats, including fit, feel, and support parameters. Fit parameters include cushion width, length, and backrest width and height. Feel parameters involve pressure, shear stress, temperature and humidity. Support parameters focus on lumbar support and body segment angles during seating. A case study evaluated three different car seat designs - one with steep wings for sports cars, one less contoured for luxury cars, and a new BMW design based on human body contour. The study objectively measured seat dimensions and subjectively assessed participant emotions toward the seats using an Emocard method. Results found the BMW design elicited the most positive emotions overall.
Automotive seat design
The document discusses various factors that must be considered when designing vehicle seats, including:
1) Extended periods of sitting can cause back problems, numbness, and discomfort due to pressure points, so seat design aims to reduce these issues.
2) Both vehicle suspension and seat cushion design are important for reducing discomfort from whole-body vibration experienced during long rides.
3) Proper ergonomic design of seats is needed to position the driver for clear vision and control access while providing support, ventilation, and safety features. Anthropometric data on body sizes is used to ensure seats fit a wide range of users.
Objective seating comfort scores for auto seat design
Objective seating comfort scores for seat design in automobiles are available to replace subjective seating comfort scores. The score is calculated from the optimized math data that defines a seat design and the position of digital human bodies sitting in the seat.
Seat design
Research into automobile seat design has identified key parameters that improve comfort. Seat design must consider fit, feel, and support parameters. Fit parameters ensure the seat accommodates a range of body sizes using anthropometric data. Feel parameters minimize pressure points and maintain a suitable temperature. Support parameters influence posture through lumbar support that adjusts in height and firmness, adjustable armrests and a forward-tilting seatback. The goal is a seat with no discomfort that supports the natural curves of the spine.

Airbags in automobile void new.pptx
Airbags were developed to provide protection for automobile drivers and passengers during accidents. They work by rapidly inflating with gas upon collision to cushion occupants from impact. Modern airbags are located in the steering wheel, dashboard, doors, and seats. They supplement seatbelts and help distribute crash forces across the body. While airbags save thousands of lives each year, they can also potentially cause injuries if deployed improperly. Automakers are working to develop more advanced airbag systems tailored to occupants.

This describes seat-belt function and modelling its components like retractor, pretensioner, seatbelt webbing, sliprings, their material and contact.
Car crash testing
Crash tests are conducted to evaluate vehicle safety and reduce injuries. Standard tests include frontal impacts at 35 mph into a barrier, side impacts from a moving barrier at 31 mph, and offset frontal crashes where only one side hits a barrier at 40 mph. Advanced crash test facilities use dummies equipped with sensors, barriers, and high speed cameras to analyze crash forces and the likelihood of injury. Vehicle structures are designed to manage crash energy through elements like crumple zones that absorb the force of impacts. Star ratings indicate a vehicle's expected level of occupant protection based on test results.

Interior design to comfortably fit all drivers in the car
This document summarizes research from Michigan State University's Ergonomics Research Laboratory (ERL) on improving vehicle interior design to better accommodate drivers of various sizes. The ERL found that vehicle interiors are typically designed around a hypothetical "Oscar" occupant without consideration for how drivers sit in seats. Through studies using modified production seats, the ERL demonstrated that accounting for seated postures can significantly change interior dimensions to better fit short and tall drivers. The ERL then developed seated driver models that can accurately predict fit and comfort issues. With these models, the ERL designs optimized seating packages and interior layouts to comfortably fit drivers ranging from 4'11" to 6'3" in height.
aerodynamics in sport car
This document is a seminar presentation on the aerodynamics of sports cars. It discusses the history of automotive aerodynamics from 1900-1950 when vehicle design did not consider aerodynamics. It then introduces concepts like drag, lift, downforce and how they affect sports cars. It explains how wings, spoilers, diffusers and other components can generate downforce to improve cornering. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis is used to optimize aerodynamic design. The conclusion emphasizes that aerodynamics is now the most important factor teams can improve for increased vehicle performance within regulations.
Car seats, where comfort doesn't meet owner expectations
Car seats have struggled for many years to live up to promise. This struggle is explained by a design process that leaves the seat out of interior design until all positions and geometry of the interior have been established. The result is unpredictable comfort, unexpected problems with vision of the dash and reach to controls and a general inability to sit in your preferred posture. A new tool is available to provide the manufacturers with seated driver models that represent the seated needs of the driver at the start of design. This presentation is the story of the current process and the tool that can fix it.

ERL is a virtual tool that explains subjective discomfort to the engineer/designer and designs seats to maximize comfort for all driver body sizes. It calculates a comfort score that outperforms J D Power and Consumer Reports in its correlation to subjective driver scores. The result is a tool that reduces time to market, development costs, and provides seats in vehicles that maximize comfort for the driver.
