Three steps to design car seats at vehicle concept using digital human body models with Oscar and H-point to remain consistent with Federal laws and SAE recommended practicies.
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.

Design parameters of driver seat in an automobileeSAT Journals
Abstract Driver seat is an important system of any automobile, it is also complicated system consists of so many parts, adjustments as well as safety systems. A seat adjustment includes height adjustment, fore and aft adjustment, back recline adjustments. Safety systems include seat belts, air bags and advanced head restraints. Generally professional driver works more than eight hours per day of a week, therefore driver seat must be designed by considering all the parameters. Also uneven road condition induces the vibration in a vehicle transmitted to driver body. Poorly designed driver seat affects the driver health and psychological conditions of mind. Three main objectives of any driver seats are safety, health and comfort of driver. This paper presents all the parameters of driver seat such as anthropometry of human, ergonomics related parameters, seat materials, safety related parameters, comfort related parameters as well as weight and aesthetics with classifications and basics of driver seat. Keywords: Driver Seat, Comfort, Safety, Health, Adjustments.

Study and Analysis of Automotive Seating System Riser Design & Development fo...ijsrd.com
Seat is a sub system of automobile or vehicle. It is the main aggregate in a vehicle, which impacts the visibility, comfort, safety for the occupant. H-point plays vital role in seat system design & occupant safety. As a part of vehicle development, requirement raised is to have elevated H-point to have better visibility & control for occupant. Use of carryover seat with minimum part alterations is a challenge. After studying all relative factors, it has been decided to integrate carry over seat with BIW by addition of seat riser member. This paper speaks about design and development of seat riser member for automotive seat.

Human factors and ergonomics (HF&E), also known as comfort design, functional design, and systems, is the practice of designing products, systems, or processes to take proper account of the interaction between them and the people who use them.
The field has seen contributions from numerous disciplines, such as psychology, engineering, bio-mechanics, industrial design, physiology, and anthropometry. In essence, it is the study of designing equipment and devices that fit the human body and its cognitive abilities. The two terms "human factors" and "ergonomics" are essentially synonymous
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.
The Wall Street Journal on October 10, 2013 reported an old problem in the automotive industry. Some cars are suitable for tall drivers while others are not. The same is true for short drivers. The industry follows a design process developed in the 1950s that uses a tool defined by a tall man’s legs and average man’s torso to create a position in the car interior about which all structures are placed. This “design position” has been incorporated into Federal regulations and has created an approach to design that is based entirely upon position. Mary Barra, GM’s product chief, spoke of this position problem in a 2012 interview at the North American International Auto Show, when she talked about poorly placed dashboard buttons that lowered a car’s reputation for quality. Then, in 2012, J D Power’s APEAL survey found that seat design is as unsatisfactory to owners as the infotainment systems in cars yet seat quality, i.e. manufacturing, is at historical highs. The combination of poorly placed dashboard buttons with seat dissatisfaction leads to the conclusion that the absence of seated driver models in interior design is a problem for the auto industry. Research at Michigan State University in the 1990s uncovered that this approach does not include seat design nor use any seated drivers to develop the interior layout. As part of this research program, it was also learned that the seat constrains driver sitting postures and directly affects the driver’s section of seat position, steering wheel position, and eye location. Thus, to establish interior design without a seat directly contributes to the difficulty drivers experience in finding a car that fits.

Bazza Design Case Study - Ergo Impact Foot Rest designBazza Design
Bazza Design provided design support for the development of ideas and concepts for a foot rest that would work in concert with Ergo Impact's new sit-stand-lean chair – LeanRite™.
The foot rest concepts are based on the existing multi-level “proof of concept” model that Ergo Impact originally created before getting Bazza Design involved.
With Bazza Design - Ergo Impact considered designs that look like they belong with Lean Right providing high function and keeping in mind part count, assembly method and cost associated with the concepts created.
