Interface pressure data and the prediction of driver discomfort in road trials
journal contribution
posted on 2014-09-02, 11:11 authored by J. Mark Porter, Diane GyiDiane Gyi, Hilary A. TaitAn objective measure that will predict discomfort reliably, and which can be used at an early stage in the development of a vehicle
and its seating, would have the potential to reduce the prevalence of musculoskeletal problems associated with driving.This paper
reports on an extended road trial study to further investigate the potential value of pressure distribution data in the prediction of
reported discomfort.Road trial data were collected from three cars and then interface pressure data were recorded for each of the
three seats.Clear differences were identified between the cars with respect to reports of discomfort.However, no clear relationship
was found between interface pressure data and reported discomfort.
