Abstract
For automobile comfort engineering, lateral support is one of the most important factors. To analyze lateral support of a vehicle seat, it is essential to understand a driver’s upper body motion when various contexts. The purpose of this study is that developing the measurement method of driver’s lateral motion when in-vehicle condition. A verification study which the accuracy of an evaluating lateral support motion by using the IMU sensor system was conducted through compare with optical motion system. Lateral motion evaluation conducted with each one of BIC and WIC on luxury sedan segment. As results, occupant’s upper body lateral bending motion on WIC vehicle was larger than BIC vehicle’s. This paper describes an measurement method for evaluating the lateral support when cornering from the perspective of actual vehicle driving test.
