Design for comfort and social interaction in future vehicles: A study on the leg space between facing-seats configuration

With the advent of future vehicles, passengers expect to travel in comfort, and the free leg space between facing-seats could be an issue due to the unsuitability for all people, according to their anthropometric variability. A previous investigation survey showed the need to increase the leg-space between facing seats and, if installed, to improve the surface of the table placed in between. So, four different distances between seat-pans front edges of facing seats have been set-up and tested (44 cm, 51 cm, 58 cm, 65 cm) with a table in between. 13 couples of participants with different heights took part to experiments. The aim was to investigate the relationship between facing-seat distances and passenger wellbeing in terms of postural comfort and social interaction. Postural comfort has been analysed through optical tracking (for postural angles overtime) and questionnaires (perceived comfort). Social interaction feelings have been investigated with questionnaires. Experiment results showed the suitable distance could be 51 cm keeping the same table surface; otherwise, the 65 cm one could be ideal changing the table surface.Relevance to industryWith the advent of autonomous driving, vehicle manufacturers and designers are working hard to define new paradigms of public transportation in terms of seat layout, passenger wellbeing and interiors’ design. This paper contributes to increasing the general knowledge on the effects of distance between facing seats on postural comfort and social interaction.     

机械锁定式地层测试技术研究与应用

机械锁定式测试技术操作简单，测试一次成功率高，资料录取准确全面，且测试结束后可直接进行封堵作业；解封时，机械锁紧产生一个向上的震击力，有利于解封，没有换位机构的测试阀在关井期间使管柱处于自由拉伸状态，有利于保护油管。在N阀上部管柱中加1-2根伸缩接头，便可用于海洋井测试。

汽车振动噪声测试的阶次跟踪方法

汽车振动和噪声是影响舒适性的主要因素，如何采用有效的技术手段测量分析汽车的振动、噪声，日益受到人们重视。本文应用PULSE多分析系统中的阶次跟踪分析方法，测试分析了车内司机座位处振动、噪声随发动机转速变化的关系，结果发现，对于试验车在测试工况下1．5倍发动机转速时，车内振动和噪声都有一个峰值。文中通过阶次分析，对发动机运转稳定性进行了测试。为降低车内噪声和振动响应提供了分析依据和参考。

Police officer in-vehicle discomfort: Appointments carriage method and vehicle seat features

Musculoskeletal pain is commonly reported by police officers. A potential cause of officer discomfort is a mismatch between vehicle seats and the method used for carrying appointments. Twenty-five police officers rated their discomfort while seated in: (1) a standard police vehicle seat, and (2) a vehicle seat custom-designed for police use. Discomfort was recorded in both seats while wearing police appointments on: (1) a traditional appointments belt, and (2) a load-bearing vest/belt combination (LBV). Sitting in the standard vehicle seat and carrying appointments on a traditional appointments belt were both associated with significantly elevated discomfort. Four vehicle seat features were most implicated as contributing to discomfort: back rest bolster prominence; lumbar region support; seat cushion width; and seat cushion bolster depth. Authorising the carriage of appointments using a LBV is a lower cost solution with potential to reduce officer discomfort. Furthermore, the introduction of custom-designed vehicle seats should be considered.
