Abstract

This study used the Vicon motion capture system to record the spatial positions of the points and to obtain the range of five joint angles in comfortable driving positions for Chinese men and women. The data could provide basic reference data for the establishment of the human body template to do the ergonomic verification of Chinese automobile cab.
