Abstract

Improper design and uncomfortable seats imposes a lot of stress upon different body parts of driver. It is the driver who gets more fatigue than the passengers. If the driver seat is not comfortable the comfort or discomfort factors can lead to various injuries related to car seat design. An Indian Alto k10 driver car seat was evaluated for its strength and moment deflection test for rear seat impact. The strength-deflection characteristics of a front automotive seat during rear impact is important to ensure the safety function of seat. The safety function is measured based on a moment test in accordance with government European standard ECE R17, FMVSS 207 and Indian standard AIS regulations. Simulation of the moment test of the Alto k10 seat is done beyond the component level by using a complete seat model formed by integrating the major structural components including the base frame and backrest.
