Using Digital Human Models to Study the Ergonomics of the Seated Posture in the Automotive Sector

This report examines Instituto de Biomecánica's (IBV) approach to the generation of three-dimensional digital human models in the driving posture and the anthropometric measurements obtained using traditional methods. 

The research, part of a project led by the Japanese Automotive Research Institute (JARI), aims to improve impact simulations and safety measures in vehicles by using more accurate, customised digital models. The report outlines the methodology, including data collection, 3D scanning, and the analysis of body morphology to create more representative models for vehicle design and safety testing.
