Abstract

In addition to the cognitive characteristics of the driver, the physical capabilities of the human being is of great importance for the design of the vehicle. This is referred to as anthropometry. It refers to the geometric properties of the entire physiological apparatus as well as to the use of body strenght. The structure of the skeletal system with the articulation of joints and the mode of action of the musculature will be described in detail. Of particular interest for the design of the vehicle are the longitudinal and circumferential dimensions, the weights, the power capability, and the agility of the vehicle occupants. It also deals with the increasingly important dependence of these measures on age.
