Abstract:

In order to study the change rule of driver's sitting posture under the condition of the automatic driving level improvement, this paper calculates the internal target marker points of the human body based on the directly measured human body marker points and constructs a human body model, to determine the joint angles of seven parts of the driver during driving and quantitatively describe the differences between the sitting posture characteristics of automatic driving levels L0 and L3. The results show that after the automatic driving level increasing from L0 to L3, the driver's elbow flexion, chest and abdomen flexion, and knee flexion are increased to varying degrees, leading to the expansion of the activity space and the improvement of the sitting comfort, while the tendency of the back leaning back is deepened, the upper trunk tending to be twisted or compressed, and the back is tired due to insufficient support, reducing the riding comfort. The improvement of automatic driving level changes the driving task, so the driver's sitting posture characteristics also change significantly. This paper can provide an important reference for the research of cab layout and automatic driving function of highly autonomous vehicles.
