Human Factors in Seating Comfort
(Session Code: B303)

Room D3-20  1:00 p.m.

Designing vehicles with good ergonomics is one of the many factors needed to achieve high customer satisfaction. A basic source for comfort (or discomfort) lies in the vehicle’s seats. To design for seat comfort requires knowledge of the size of the driver, the structure of the seat, the position of the seat in the vehicle and the trip duration. Papers in this session will include topics such as seat back angle, vehicle packaging and trip duration.

Organizers - Jennifer M. Badgley, Lear Corp.; Currell L. Pattie; Marilyn Vala, Chrysler Corp.
