“…Indeed, tall participants entering a medium-sized car flex the head on the trunk while short participants perform an extension [15]. This flexion movement is also noticed when tall participants exit the vehicle [34]. This motor strategy was confirmed by the biomechanical analysis of joint angles in the current study (Figure 4).…”

“…This increased amplitude of the neck joint angle has subsequently influenced the REBA score of G95 participants. This motor behavior might be due to the fact that tall participants have a larger space available between the seat and the steering wheel [17,34].…”

“…Most research was conducted in France (7 of 9), with others taking place in Germany and the United States. Several studies assessed kinematics using the Vicon system in conjunction with force plates [1,[7][8][9]16,19,22] and an H-point machine [1,[7][8][9]16]. Other studies imported postures into RAMSIS to develop aspects of a digital mockup [7,16].…”

Identifying ingress and egress strategies is an important area of research in the automotive sector. Determining ingress and egress strategies can lead to safer vehicle design that reduce fall risk and improve comfort. In this systematic review, we examined studies related to ingress and egress in passenger vehicles after searching for various databases. We found 9 primary articles (of 608), all published in English. The results of the present research synthesis show that participants reported challenges with doorway height, sill height during ingress and egress, as well as will width during egress. There are also various ingress and egress strategies employed by drivers. However, ingress and egress strategies did not differ significantly by sample characteristics (i.e., age, height) or vehicle type. Roof height was not a factor of ingress and egress strategies although a large sill width may increase the risk of adverse events during egress. Future studies need to incorporate larger and more heterogeneous samples (i.e., healthy versus non-healthy, younger versus older adults) and relate participant characteristics (i.e., age, gender, height, weight) and the use of hands (along with force measurements) with ingress and egress strategies. Additionally, changes in vehicle design should be modelled with comfort ratings using metrics and loss functions to determine the optimal point between comfort and safety. This is the first review of the ingress and egress literature to summarize important findings and provide directions for future research.

The automotive industry is so competitive that new vehicles must quickly be proposed. Toward this ends, conception processes enhancing an early involvement of several professions were developed. Ergonomics is one of these professions and its early considerations, when designing a vehicle, can mostly be based on numerical intermediaries' objects of the vehicle and the future user. Even though the use of numerical tools is widespread, physical prototypes are still required in the automotive industry in order to validate ergonomics aspects of the vehicle. However, these prototypes are expansive, complex to implement and only take part in a late stage of conception. In this context, the current article presents the potential contribution of a multi-scale mockup that could be used in order to early take into account ergonomics aspects when designing a technical vehicle. The originality of this mock-up lies in the fact that it is scalable and easy to implement. Doing so, it can thus, contrary to traditional physical mock-ups, be used early during the conception process.
