The design and location of rear-viewing mirrors or systems, and the presentation of the rear view to the driver can best be achieved if the designer and the engineer have adequate references available on the physiological functions of head and eye movements and on the perceptual capabilities of the human visual system. The following information and charts are provided for this purpose. For more complete information of the relationship of vision to forward vision, see SAE SP-279.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes the location of drivers’ eyes inside a vehicle. Elliptical (eyellipse) models in three dimensions are used to represent tangent cutoff percentiles of driver eye locations. Procedures are provided to construct 95th and 99th percentile tangent cutoff eyellipses for a 50/50 gender mix, adult user population. Neck pivot (P) points are defined in Section 6 to establish specific left and right eye points for direct and indirect viewing tasks described in SAE J1050. These P points are defined only for the adjustable seat eyellipses defined in Section 4. This document applies to Class A Vehicles (Passenger Cars, Multipurpose Passenger Vehicles, and Light Trucks) as defined in SAE J1100. It also applies to Class B vehicles (Heavy Trucks), although these eyellipses have not been updated from previous versions of SAE J941. The appendices are provided for information only and are not a requirement of this document.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes two-dimensional Eyellipses representative of 90th, 95th, and 99th percentile increments of driver eye locations for use in passenger cars, trucks, buses and multipurpose passenger vehicles. A uniform method for describing and measuring the driver’s direct and indirect fields of view using the Eyellipse is established in the Recommended Practice, Describing and Measuring the Driver’s Field of View-SAE J1050a.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes two-dimensional eyellipses representative of 90th, 95th, and 99th percentile increments of driver eye locations and describes procedures for their use.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes the location of drivers' eyes inside a vehicle for the purpose of measuring the drivers' field of view. Elliptical (eyellipse) models in both two and three dimensions are used to represent 95th and 99th percentiles of driver eye locations. The procedure used to locate eyellipses in passenger cars differs from the procedure used for heavy trucks. Selected eye (E) points, useful in certain viewing tasks, are derived from the 95th eyellipse. For application of this document, refer to SAE J1050.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes methods for describing and measuring the driver’s field of view. The document describes three methods for measuring the direct and indirect fields of view and the extent of obstructions within those fields. The first method uses any single pair of eye points to determine the fields or obstructions that would be seen by an individual driver. The second method uses the SAE Eyellipses defined in SAE J941 to determine the largest fields or obstructions that would be seen for a given percentage of the driving population. The third method uses specific eye points defined in SAE J941 to measure the extent of a specific field of view or obstruction for which those points were developed.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes boundaries for shade bands on glazed surfaces in class “A” vehicles. These boundaries are located so that the shade band will provide driver vision protection from glare, and occupant comfort with respect to solar radiation. Since shade bands transmit less visible light than surrounding glazed surfaces, the boundaries establish limits for the driver's field of view.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes boundaries for shade bands on glazed surfaces in class "A" vehicles. These boundaries are located so that the shade band can provide occupant comfort and driver vision protection from glare, with respect to solar radiation, under some lighting and driving conditions. Since shade bands transmit less visible light than adjacent glazed surfaces, the shade band boundaries establish boundaries for the driver's field of view.
