Motor Vehicle Driver and Passenger Head Position
J1052_201009
This SAE Standard describes head position contours and procedures for locating the contours in a vehicle. Head position contours are useful in establishing accommodation requirements for head space and are required for several measures defined in SAE J1100. Separate contours are defined depending on occupant seat location and the desired percentage (95 and 99) of occupant accommodation.
This document is primarily focused on application to Class A vehicles (see SAE J1100), which include most personal-use vehicles (passenger cars, sport utility vehicles, pick-up trucks). A procedure for use in Class B vehicles can be found in Appendix B.
Rationale:
The side view angle of the adjustable seat head contour shown in Figure 3 was corrected to 12 degrees, the value it was in the 2005 version of SAE J1052.
