The location of the pelvis in the seated automobile operator is critical for proper packaging and seat comfort design. The pelvis is the skeletal structure which contains the hip joint (H-point) and ischial tuberosity (D-point). The orientation of the pelvis largely determines the curvature in the low back which is supported by lumbar supports in the seat back. A methodology has been developed that uses onboard video and pressure measurement systems to locate the pelvis. This system has been used in a mid-sized vehicle on seated operators driving the vehicle on the highway. This paper describes the methodology and the location of the pelvis in seated automobile operators.
