Abstract

A survey of drivers showed that the level of satisfaction in relation to driving positions varied significantly with body size. Eye height was determined as the most important factor to be considered in adjusting driving positions. In order to provide proper driving positions for a wider range of body sizes, a proposal was made to have a design based on a suitable eye height and distance to control handles. Evaluation of example layouts showed an improvement on existing layouts.
