Static seating comfort, dynamic riding comfort and fatigue caused by riding for long periods of time are important properties for motorcycle seats. Static seating comfort is a particularly important factor when consumers select a motorcycle. Motorcycle seats are characterized by having multiple shapes that provide a balance between the static seating comfort and the comfort required for the various riding positions of the motor-cycle model concept. The authors focused on body pressure distribution as a quantitative property intermediate between design parameters and the senses, and developed the Posterior Characteristics Index (PCI). The PCI was then used for quantitative performance prediction of static seating comfort. When static seating comfort is evaluated using body pressure distribution data, it is necessary to minimize the effects of test subject posterior characteristics on evaluation results. The PCI index was established by performing principal component analysis of body pressure distribution and body weight occurring when subjects are seated on a standard experimental seat. It was found that the contact surface area and contact surface pressure variations of the body pressure distribution data obtained while the test subject was seated are effective indices for representing the static seating comfort of seats common to all subjects.
