Serbian and Libyan Anthropometric Measurements Data in Contemporary Systems’ Design

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to compare Serbian and Libyan anthropometric measurements, such as foot length, standing height, sitting height, lower leg length, upper leg length, shoulder width, hip breadth, arm length and body weight, on the basis of samples of 1197 Serbians and 400 Libyans which have been collected. Further statistical analysis have been conducted to explore the effect of large mixed data on the anthropometric measurements, and their patterns, which facilitates the interior space design of vehicles and cabins used by both males and females, in order to establish a model that could be fit to multi-users. The measurements of the sample for the Serbian population have more statistically significant correlations than the Libyan sample has. Serbian sample has significant differences only in three measurements while there were reverse results for the Libyan sample. Absolute, significant differences were found between all compared anthropometric measurements at a significance level of p<0.001. The mean and median values and z test results show that the Serbian sample has higher values than the Libyan sample, excluding for shoulder width which has very close values.
