The biodynamic response characteristics of various analytical models reported for the seated human body are computed on the basis of the driving-point mechanical impedance and seat-to-head transmissibility magnitude and phases responses. The applicability of the models to represent seated vehicle drivers is assessed on the basis of a weighted normalized magnitude and phase error function defining the relative deviation between the computed biodynamic response characteristics and those established as target values for the case considered. For comparison purposes, the analysis is further repeated by considering the ISO CD 5982 (1993) proposed standardized biodynamic response characteristics as target values. On the basis of the results, the major differences between the different models are established and the most appropriate models for representing seated vehicle drivers are identified.
