Abstract
Support properties in the lumbar area have been identified as a major factor for the comfort impression on automotive seats. However, the relationship of human body characteristics to specific properties of seats is not clear. Ongoing research at L&P Automotive Group analyzes seat dimensions and human body characteristics in order to evaluate the man-machine interface of the seated human. Computer tools employed are 3D measuring systems, pressure mapping and subjective comfort assessment. Specific measurement routines have been developed to allow for correlation of human dimensions and seat characteristics. Using computer supported methods for measuring, data collection and data processing in combination with engineering knowledge and knowledge about other soft facts, comfort assessment processes can be developed and effectively used in order to obtain better, meaning more comfortable products. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
