Serbian and Libyan Female Drivers' Anthropometric Measurements in the Light of the Third Autonomy Level Vehicles

Abstract

At level 3 the driver still remains "in-the-loop" due to the inability of the automated system to manage a particular driving situation/environment and anthropometric data are still essential in design. In that aim anthropometric measurements of 193 Serbian and 50 Libyan female drivers have been collected using standard anthropometric instruments and compared using statistical methods - descriptive statistics with Kolmogorov test for normality, linear regression and correlation analysis and comparison of measured anthropometrics using z test. Results obtained in this study are useful to passenger car designers aimed to compete on autonomy level 3 and show that there exist significant differences between Serbian and Libyan female drivers. Future research on other rarely available anthropometric data for other nationalities is recommended, due to globalization trends and constant migrations.
