Design and Development of Motorcycle Seat from Ergonomics Point of View with Vibration and Discomfort Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Today, a rebellious race is taking place among the automobile industry so as to produce highly developed models and the automobile industry has seen a market shift towards sport-utility vehicles. In order to maintain the level of comfort that customers expect from vehicles and still maintain the high safety standards of automobiles, attempts are made to develop an ideal vehicle (motorcycle) which is aesthetically pleasing, ergonomically running and most important is safety. This work solves the problems of human discomfort procured from riding the motorcycle. Also comprises the task of ergonomic considerations in motorcycle seat design using anthropometric data of riders.

Combined Effects of Long-Term Sitting and Whole-Body Vibration on Discomfort Onset for Vehicle Occupants
Occupants of automobiles experience discomfort after long drives, irrespective of how well designed a seat might be. Previous studies of discomfort during driving have focused either on the seat shape andmaterials (“static” properties), long-term discomfort (“fatigue” properties), or dynamics (“vibration” properties).These factors have previously not been considered together.This paper reports ...

متن کاملThe effect of seat design on vibration comfort.
A field study was done to evaluate different seat designs in the aspect of minimizing vibration transmission and reducing the level of discomfort experienced by drivers subjected to transient vibration. Two seat designs (sliding or fixed in the horizontal direction) were compared in an experiment based on variation of sitting posture, speed, and type of obstacle. The comparison was done by asse...
متن کاملEquivalent comfort contours for vertical seat vibration: effect of vibration magnitude and backrest inclination.
UNLABELLED This study determined how backrest inclination and the frequency and magnitude of vertical seat vibration influence vibration discomfort. Subjects experienced vertical seat vibration at frequencies in the range 2.5-25 Hz at vibration magnitudes in the range 0.016-2.0 ms(-2) r.m.s. Equivalent comfort contours were determined with five backrest conditions: no backrest, and with a stati...
