OTOMOTİV KULLANICILARINDA GÖRÜNTÜLEME YÖNTEMİ KULLANILARAK KONFOR AÇILARININ ARAŞTIRILMASI

Abstract

driving causes difficulties in the musculoskeletal system. Extensive literature conducted by automotive companies and academicians, aimed to improve product ergonomics, and increase the quality of life. These studies assessed comfort angles in automotive use and addressed driver comfort in high traffic. In our study, different body angles were examined by creating a skeleton model. This model represents automotive users who drive on a daily basis. Angles were calculated by BTS Bio-Engineering software. Four participants were chosen from a group of 30 drivers to represent diverse daily drivers. The study was conducted at the Mix Reality Lab of Oklahoma State University. Research findings indicate that there are strains in the lumbar spine (L4-L5), cervical spine (C6-C7), and that the comfort angles of female drivers are narrower than their male counterparts.
