Design of the Adjustable Vehicle Seating Buck for Ergonomics Verification

In ordering to avoid the risk of big change cause by unreasonable ergonomics parameter and save development time, vehicle research institute usually build a seating buck. The Seating buck is a physical cabin model of passenger car for ergonomics verification. It is widely used to assess the amenity, ingress and egress, visual field, habitability, etc. This paper aims to introduce the design of an adjustable seating buck, which can be significantly reduce the development risk, time and cost. The interior dimensions can be adjusted as needed. It is able to emulate cabins from class-A to class-C. By the help of the highly adjustable seating buck, most of the ergonomic verification can be performed on this Seating Buck quick and easily.
