Additional adjustment of the driver seat in accordance with the latest anthropometric measurements of drivers in Belgrade

Abstract

This paper presents a sequel to research by two of the present authors published in 1998. In conditions of increasingly tough competition in the market, there is an increasing need to adjust automobiles to anthropomeasures. For the Yugoslav population the construction dimension of automobiles from floor to roof should be at least 1250 mm. Additional adjustment to meet the latest anthropomeasures of drivers should make it possible for the seat to slide backwards by up to 300 mm and to be linearly lowered by 131 mm (with an angle of 23.6 for the seat's complete shifting without backrest or the seat's seating part inclination change).
