“…There is a very high positive correlation between the elbow angle and shoulder angle (correlation coefficient 0.867, p<0.01). Interestingly, this correlation results is in line with the study by Park et al (2000) which shows the same relationship between this two parameters. In addition, a positive moderate correlation was found between the stature and elbow angle (coefficient correlation 0.451, p<0.01).…”

“…But, the differences cannot be proven statistically due to limited of information and resource. However, this observed difference is in line with the result from past research by Park et al (2000). The differences between other populations showed that it is necessary for the Malaysia population to propose its own recommended driving posture in order to ensure driver's safety and comfort.…”

“…There have been many past research and experiments conducted in driver's car posture (Na et al, 2005;Hirao et al, 2006;Hermanns et al, 2008;Falou et al, 2003;Park et al, 2000;Andreoni et al, 2002;Kyung and Nussbaum, 2008;Reed et al, 2000;Sun et al, 2006) but none was conducted for the Malaysian population. So, this study is aiming to publish comfortable and safe driving postures as preferred by Malaysian car drivers.…”

“…Studies on comfortable postural angle have been carried out by several researches such as Park et al (2000); Porter and Gyi (1998);Grandjean (1980) and Rebiffe (1969), however the studies did not include all angles of the human driving posture. Meanwhile, in this study all possible related angles with respect to comfort for drivers' postures will be determined.…”

Problem statement:The purposes of this study are twofold: First, to recommend a range of angles for driving posture comfort from measurement of participants and second, to investigate the relationships between drivers' anthropometric characteristics, comfortable postural angles and seat adjustment. Approach: Forty five participants were involved in the study. Both anthropometric data and postural angles were measured and recorded by using the photographic technique and analyzed further using software. During the study, each participant was required to sit on the driver's seat in his or her preferred comfortable driving postures. Images of the participant's driving posture were taken after 5 min he or she has been in the driving position to allow him/her to adapt with the seat environment and fabrics. The seat adjustment data were measured manually after the seat is adjusted for comfort by the participant. Prior to that, 10 anthropometric data of each participant was measured and recorded. Data on comfortable driving postural angles, anthropometry and seat adjustment were analyzed statistically with Pearson correlation using the SPSS software. Results: From the study, a range of angles are proposed based on the participant's perception on comfort. The ranges of comfortable angles for Malaysian citizen proposed shows significant different between Caucasian and Korean populations. The relationships between the comfortable postural angles, anthropometric data and seat adjustment were analyzed and discussed with several outcome shows that taller participants preferred a driving posture with their arms outstretched in order to achieve comfort, participants with bigger body dimension have a tendency to sit farther back from the steering wheels and smaller participants prefer to sit closer to the steering wheels with a slightly greater trunk thigh angle. Conclusion: The result obtained and discussed in this study can be applied in the driver's car seat design and construction to ensure comfort and safety.

In this paper, we determined the adjustment levels of the human–machine layout under the preferred driving posture for individuals with different body sizes. We also comparatively analyzed the maximum activation levels of various muscles under straight‐line driving and steering conditions. To increase the accuracy of the results, AnyBody biomechanics software was used to establish a human skeletal muscle mechanics model, which we analyzed for consistency with rig test results. The results showed that people with larger body sizes preferred a driving position with the seat reclined back. Steered driving was associated with a significant (p < .05) increase in the maximum activation of the wrist extensors, serratus anterior, deltoid, and triceps brachii, which are the main force‐generating muscle groups for steered driving, compared with straight driving. Moreover, the measured and simulated results of maximum muscle activation were relatively consistent, with the error between them within a 15% margin. In summary, this study explored the relationship between different driving conditions and preferred driving postures from a biomechanical perspective. A combined experimental and simulation approach was adopted to ensure the reliability of the findings. The insights from this study can inform ergonomic considerations for the comfort and health of Chinese drivers with varying physical characteristics.
