GB/T 36607-2018Ergonomics—Motor vehicle driver head position (English PDF)

1 Scope

This Standard provides Chinese motor vehicle drivers' head position, including the principle of drivers' head position contour geometry formation; axis length of head position contour geometry whose vehicle seat stroke is more than 133 mm, and inclination angle and central location in the lateral view.

This Standard is applicable to vehicle body space design for Class M1 motor vehicles whose seat stroke is more than 133 mm.

5 Drivers' Head Position Contour Geometry

Along the side center plane (Y axis), divide the contour geometry into two halves.

Meanwhile, maintain the correspondence between the ellipsoid central position and the internal part. Along X and Z curved surface of the ellipsoid midline part, establish a 23 mm-wide external segment. Place this part in the middle of the contour geometry being segmented. The internal boundary of this 23 mm tangent plane is in the same position as Y coordinate of the ellipsoid center.

In terms of contour geometry whose seats are adjustable, from the lateral view, the front end of the front of X axis of drivers' head position contour geometry inclines downward by 11°; the remaining axes are parallel to vehicle's grid line. […]
