This SAE Recommended Practice describes two dimensional side and rear view 95th and 99th percentile driver and passenger seated head position contours for fixed and horizontally adjustable seats. New information obtained from the SAE Truck Driver Anthropometric and Workspace Study has resulted in development of new head location procedures for trucks and other vehicles with high H-point heights and large steering wheel diameters. Therefore, this practice has been separated into two parts. Part I describes the head location procedure for vehicles with H-point heights (H30) and steering wheel diameters (W9) less than 405 mm and 450 mm, respectively (Class A Vehicles). This class of vehicles includes passenger cars, vans and light trucks. Part II describes a separate head locating procedure for vehicles with H-point heights (H30) between 405 and 530 mm and steering wheel diameters (W9) between 450 and 560 mm (Class B Vehicles). This class of vehicles includes heavy trucks and some buses and multipurpose passenger vehicles (See Fig. 2).
The Human Accommodation and Design Devices Standards Committee is responsible for developing and maintaining SAE Standards, Recommended Practices, and Information Reports related to tools, models and procedures to create and improve the occupant package ergonomic layout of the vehicle's interior tools and procedures for consistent measurement of vehicle dimensions and seat dimensions taken during design, benchmarking, and auditing. The committee actively leads and works to have its standards adopted internationally. Participants in the SAE Human Accommodation and Design Devices Standards Committee include OEMs, suppliers, academicians, consulting firms, government, and other interested parties.
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
