Abstract
Data from fourteen driver workspace studies have been used to develop a two dimensional model which defines driver selected horizontal seat position as a function of chair height for various percentile accomodation levels. The tool is referenced to a manikin ball of foot point and can be used for design and/or checking purposes.
