dc.description.abstract | An analysis of knee contours was conducted to provide design guidelines to prevent inadvertent actuation of switches located in the lower part of the driver compartment. A programmatic analysis of 3D laser scan data from 181 men and women was conducted. The results quantified the maximum level of penetration into a circular opening that could be expected. The maximum penetration was generally observed in the lateral patella area. A statistical model of the data was used to generate plots of the distributions of penetrations that would be observed for circular holes of various size. A verification study was conducted using manual measurements on a convenience sample of 42 people. The results of the manual measurements were generally consistent with the programmatic measurements from 3D scans, with discrepancies typically less than 3 mm for holes up to 50 mm. | en_US |
