Vehicle Comfort-Motion Analysis Tool

Measure the comfort of any vehicle's passenger seats during motion per mile/kilometer.

The Vehicle Comfort-Motion Analysis Tool is a state-of-the-art device designed to evaluate the comfort levels experienced by passengers in a moving vehicle. This tool is specifically engineered to measure how motion impacts the comfort of individual passenger seats over a mile or kilometer of travel. By analyzing parameters such as vibrations, seat stability, and overall ride quality, the tool provides an objective assessment that aids in improving passenger experience. This is particularly useful for vehicle manufacturers, fleet operators, and individuals who prioritize comfort during transportation.

Compact and user-friendly, the tool comes in an easy-to-use electronic toolbox format. Its design allows it to be securely strapped into any empty passenger seat, making it convenient to set up without requiring any specialized skills or additional equipment. The portability and straightforward installation process make it ideal for quick deployment in different vehicles or seats. This flexibility ensures that users can perform comfort assessments in a wide range of scenarios, from personal vehicles to public transit systems.

Each measurement session with the Vehicle Comfort-Motion Analysis Tool is focused on one passenger seat at a time, ensuring precise and targeted results. This limitation to individual seat readings enables the tool to capture highly accurate data without interference from adjacent seating dynamics. The gathered data reflects the specific motion-related comfort characteristics of the seat being analyzed, providing actionable insights for design improvements or maintenance decisions.

To assess all passenger seats within a vehicle, users can perform multiple readings by relocating the tool to each seat and repeating the measurement process. This sequential method allows a comprehensive evaluation of the entire vehicle's seating comfort. The systematic approach ensures no seat is overlooked, providing a detailed understanding of motion comfort levels throughout the vehicle. The toolโ€™s practical design and precision make it an invaluable asset for improving passenger experience and ensuring quality standards in the automotive industry.

Professional Tools

Automotive manufacturers employ a variety of tools to assess passenger seat comfort during vehicle motion. One prevalent method is pressure mapping systems, such as the Body Pressure Measurement Systemโ„ข (BPMSโ„ข) by Tekscan. These systems utilize sensor mats placed on the seat surface to capture real-time pressure distribution data as occupants sit and move. This data helps identify high-pressure zones and evaluate the effectiveness of seat designs in distributing body weight evenly, thereby enhancing comfort.

Another essential tool is the use of virtual human models and simulation software. For instance, CASIMIR/Automotive is a software tool developed specifically for the virtual evaluation and optimization of seating comfort. It combines detailed finite element models of both the seat and a customizable virtual human occupant to simulate interactions under various conditions. This approach allows engineers to predict comfort levels and make design adjustments early in the development process, reducing the need for physical prototypes and enabling a more efficient design cycle.
