Ergonomic evaluation system for vehicle package

Abstract

In the early days of automotive products design stage, validation of the package program primarily through the 3D virtual environment, and the 3D virtual environment is not virtualization specific enough and overall image; At the same time in the mid-term product development stage, rapid prototype production is completed, additional pay for rapid sample fixture to complete the production, transportation and installation, re-use is very low; Based on this, in order to validating the package program environment during the early days of automotive products design stage, in order to providing a platform for rapid sample during the mid-term product development stage, we need Ergonomic evaluation system. We have an introduction about the Ergonomic valuation system's research content, the Ergonomic valuation system should simulate the driver environment and other situation; including comfort machine, visibility, reach, entertainment establishment, including seat, paddles, steering wheel, console and so on. The Ergonomic valuation system's characteristics include multi-joint, high precision, enough interfaces for fast sample installation and safe for using. The Ergonomic valuation system can simulate the feasibility of ergonomic solutions in the early stages of project development; a multi-frame Ergonomic valuation system can reduce the cost of product development, because we don't need to make the base of the fast sample as before. © Springer-Verlag Heidelberg 2013.
