Abstract:
The biggest shift in the automotive industry lies ahead. Autonomous vehicles create both curiosity and skepticism among drivers and people around. Autonomous vehicles, more specifically trucks, will not be utterly self-driving overnight. The whole transformation will take place in different phases. When a vehicle does not need a driver behind the wheel, new needs will arise. This is where this project comes into play. On behalf of Scania, a new driver’s seat shall be developed for new needs from the drivers for autonomous trucks of type 4. The project was carried out at Scania’s design departm

Little information is available in the literature concerning an ergonomic systems view of industrial seats. This study has been aimed at expanding knowledge of industrial seat design. For this purpose, a model for evaluating industrial seats has been proposed, listing demands and restrictions from the task and the workplace. It also includes responses and effects on the sitter, and methods of measurement for evaluating industrial work seats. The appropriateness of work seat design has been assessed in laboratory and field studies, using methods to measure body loads, their effects and response

Abstract:
Children with disabilities in school settings often display problem behavior. These challenging behaviors can be inattention, disruptions in class, difficulties with transitions between tasks, and low task motivation. These types of behaviors can lead to problems for the students with their peers, teachers, and school staff. One way to decrease problem behavior is to implement antecedent manipulations to prevent problem behavior from ever occurring. One type of antecedent manipulation is using alternative seating in the classroom, such as stability balls or stabili-t stools. However, litt

Abstract:
The two main attributes of seating in auditoria have been investigated. Tle first is random incidence absorption. The second is the low-frequency selective attenuation which seating can impart to sound travelling over it at grazing incidence: the so-called "seat dip" effect. It was found that there was a need for a more accurate laboratory measurement method to predict auditorium seat absorption. The traditional method tended to overpredict the absorption of the exposed front and sides of seating blocks. A new method was studied which involves the use of barriers to obtain realistic measuremen

Abstract:
A study has been conducted into the development of Impact Management Seating Systems (IMSS's) for improved occupant protection during rear impacts. The seating systems incorporate methodologies that enable the supporting surfaces to pivot in a controlled manner during the onset of the impact event. This enables the seated occupant to penetrate an outer perimeter frame, whilst simultaneously having the effective ride height lowered. This response is typically referred to as the 'Catchers- Mitt' principal, and provides the occupant with localised 'ride-down', and optimum positioning with respect

Abstract:
Seating is an integral part of work environment. When people are at work, they often sit in chairs for long periods of time without changing postures. This results in reduced blood circulation in the body, especially in the buttock-thigh area causing muscle fatigue, pain and discomfort. Ergonomically designed task chairs adopt a passive approach to guiding people into better postures by providing adjustability inside the chair. However most people do not adjust their chairs because they fail to sense the need for changing posture. They are left to sensing the need to change posture through gue

The principal objective of this study was to develop a systematic methodology using finite element methods to model the dynamic interaction between a seat and the human body so as to predict the seat transmissibility.

High-tone extensor thrust is common to those with cerebral palsy and those suffering spinal cord injuries. It is a muscle-control phenomenon that causes the body to straighten spastically.

One unique challenge is that the seat needs to remain rigid during normal functional activities and only become dynamic when an involuntary thrust is detected.
