- Abstract
The article discusses the evaluation of vehicular riding comfort using mathematical human model on a seat with a backrest. Two multibody models representative of the automotive postures found in the literature were investigated, one with and the other without a backrest support in describing the motions of a seated body. Based on analytical study and the experimental validation, the fourteen-degrees-of-freedom model was found to be best fitted to the test results.
