Abstract

Nowadays, due to the increasing development of automation in automotive vehicles, the demand of Human Factors & Ergonomics (HFE) application has become mandatory for human behavior understanding. In terms of quality perception, manual gearshift activity in passenger vehicles one of the main items perceived by the driver. However, few researches in the available literature support applied methodologies to predict driver shift quality subjective rating, instead of the commonly used objective variables faced by the driver to remove the human portion. This research analyzes the influence of anthropometric variances of several human bony segments on in-vehicle human subjective rating through linear regression analysis applying enhanced statistical methods.
