Ergonomic modeling and evaluation of automobile seat comfort
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
This research work is geared toward proving that automobile seat comfort, which is a subjective construct, can be predicted from objective measures. This type of forecasting ability would effectively improve the efficiency with which seats are designed. Presently, seats are developed in an iterative manner because subjective feedback drives the design. Iteration requires time and costly prototypes. This could be justified if the process guaranteed a comfortable seat. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Even with numerous technologies available, the automotive seating industry has had limited success quantifying comfort. The problem stems from the lack of a scientific method. This deficiency was addressed through the creation of a repeatable data collection protocol for seat interface pressure measurement. Seat comfort cannot be quantified without an understanding of the consumers' likes and dislikes. The best way to obtain this information is to gauge perceptions of comfort through a survey. This research is significant in that it (1) provides a survey with acceptable levels of reliability and validity and (2) defines an overall comfort index. The overall comfort index was used as the dependent variable in a prediction model. This would not be a viable undertaking without a reliable and valid survey. Using a stepwise regression procedure, the link between objective measures and subjective perceptions was established and validated. From the model, human criteria for seat interface pressure parameters were established. The model also demonstrated that appearance was related to comfort. Due to the lack of emphasis on the educational side of automobile seat usage, drivers are not fully realizing the comfort-enhancing benefits of seat adjusters. This study, in addition to providing direction on how to adjust the seat for maximum comfort, presents and validates a model to predict driver selected track position as a function of occupant demographics and anthropometry. If this research is to affect design practices, direction on how to impact the objective measures of comfort is required. To this end, seat geometry and contour design guidelines were derived. These guidelines represent an important advancement in the body of knowledge dealing with automobile seat comfort.Dept. of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering.
