Seat pressure is known as a major factor of seat comfort in vehicles. In passenger vehicles, there is lacking research into the seat comfort of rear seat occupants. As accurate seat pressure measurement requires significant effort, simulation of seat pressure is evolving as a preferred method. However, analytic methods are based on complex finite element modeling and therefore are time consumin...

This paper describes a cinema seat booking system and its design. The idea behind the system is to allow public kiosks to be installed in local shopping areas, where members of the general public could pre-book cinema seats for the film of their choice. A discussion follows on the design of a prototype for the system. Requirements specification is discussed and a design and task analysis is car...

During centuries, humans have changed their environment into a Perspective of cultural heritage using tact and wisdom. These perspectives that show the legacy of human civilization, have established a long cultural relationship via safety international pathways. Hence, Investing for maintenance of critical infrastructures which is the safe way, seems to be necessary. The main problem is not the...

− Seat occupancy detection systems based on a capacitive or an electric field principle, developed for an automobile seat, may not work well for seats with integrated electric heating systems. A new detection method, suitable for this type of automobile seats, is presented in this paper. In the proposed scheme, the heating element is a part of the sensor system while its operation as a heating ...

A mathematical model of a vehicle dynamic system capable of predicting ride comfort can be a useful tool for vehicle design and development engineers at the concept design stage. The aim of this study was to develop a simple mathematical model of a vehicle with seat and occupant to investigate how vehicle dynamic parameters affect the vibration transmission and ride quality. A 13 degrees-offree...

A correct seat and position are the basis for a good performance in horseback riding. This study aimed to measure deviations from the correct seat, test a seat improvement program (dismounted exercises), and investigate whether horse behavior was affected by the rider's seat. Five experienced trainers defined 16 seat deviations and scored the occurrence in 20 riders in a dressage test. Half the...
