Objective: The present study was intended to identify (1) the intra- and inter-rater reliabilities of a visual sensibility evaluation protocol and (2) the effects of NaCOC color and scouring method on the visual sensibility of NaCOC. Thirty female participants(20s & 30s) were participated in the visual sensibility evaluation of NaCOC. Background: Interests in naturally colored organic cotton(NaCOC) increase rapidly in parallel with the social trend of eco-friendly living and wellbeing. Method: Three color sets (ivory, green, and coyote-brown) of NaCOC specimens including one untreated and four treated specimens(Na₂CO₃; NaOH; enzyme; boiling water) were examined in the study. The visual sensibility evaluation was conducted by the test-retest method using nine pairs of bipolar visual sensibility adjectives(bright-dark; clear-murky; heavy-light; vivid-subdued; warm-cool; fresh-stale; strong-weak; showy-plain; and luxurious-cheap). Results: As a result of reliability of a visual sensibility evaluation protocol, inter-rater variability(average SD=1.06) of visual sensibility evaluation was more than 1.4 times the intra-rater variability(average SD=0.74). However, both the sensibility evaluation reliabilities did not show any systematic pattern of changes. Lastly, ANOVA and post-hoc analysis showed that preferred scouring methods for a visual sensibility adjective pair significantly vary depending on NaCOC color. Application: Both the reliability of visual sensibility evaluation protocol and the analysis of proper scoring method of NaCOC in the study would be useful information to design the affective textile.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J1517 and J941 models of a driver-selected seat position and a driver's eye location mainly rely on their statistical linear relationships with seat configuration and package variables. Although the SAE models are useful for vehicle interior design, their prediction performance was not provided. The present study was intended to develop accurate prediction models of a driver's hip location (HL) and eye location (EL) based on their statistical geometric relationships with anthropometric dimensions and driving postures. A driving simulation experiment was conducted with 40 Korean drivers (20 males and 20 females) in a seating buck reconfigurable to various package conditions. The anthropometric measurements, HLs, ELs, and joint angles of the participants were collected using an anthropometer, a motion capture system, and a digital human model simulation program. Two types (full model and simplified model) of statistical geometric models (SGMs) for HL and EL prediction were developed by multiple regression analysis of the anthropometric measurements and driving postures on the HLs and ELs. The average adjusted <I>R</I> <SUP>2</SUP> and RMSE of the SGMs were .82 (± .06) and 25.7 (±3.3) mm, respectively. The SGMs showed accurate and stable prediction performance because the SGMs additionally incorporated the geometric relationships of HL and EL with anthropometric dimensions and joint angles. The SGMs would be useful to predict the HLs and ELs of drivers with various body sizes and joint angles in occupant packaging.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> The present study developed models for predicting a driver's hip and eye locations. </LI> <LI> The relationships between joint locations, body sizes, and angles were quantified. </LI> <LI> The average adj. <I>R</I> <SUP>2</SUP> and RMSE of the models were .82 (± .06) and 25.7 (±3.3) mm. </LI> <LI> The developed models are of use to predict the hip and eye locations of population. </LI> </UL> </P>

Jangwoon Park,Younggeun Choi,Baekhee Lee,Kihyo Jung,Sungjin Sah,Heecheon You 대한인간공학회 2012 대한인간공학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2012 No.11

Objective: The present study is intended to develop statistical geometric models (SGMs) which predict a driver’s hip & eye location (HL & EL) and to identify sitting strategies which statistically represent various characteristics of preferred driving postures. Background: Although the previous researches have developed HL & EL prediction models and identified sitting strategies, the existing HL & EL prediction models have a limitation in terms of prediction accuracy and the analysis method of sitting strategies was not objective and the effect of driver’s gender/occupant package layout (OPL) to the sitting strategy has not been clearly analyzed. Method: 40 drivers’ preferred driving postures in 3 different OPL conditions (coupe, sedan, SUV) were measured by a motion capture system and the measured data were synchronized with RAMSIS humanoid which can extract the driving postures, HL & EL information of the participants. SGMs were developed by multiple regression analysis of geometric equations for driver’s posture variables, anthropometric variables and HL & EL. Siting strategies were identified by cluster analysis of participants’ preferred driving postures. Results: An adj. R² of the developed SGMs was increased by 1.6 times in average and RMSE was decreased by 15% in average comparing with the existing Reed et al. (2002)’s models. Sitting strategies were identified as erect (33% of drivers were preferred), slouched (41%), and reclined postures (26%) and the number of participants who preferred erect posture, female drivers was significantly more than twice that of male drivers. Conclusion: SGMs which can accurately predict a driver’s HL & EL were developed and sitting strategies which can statistically represent drivers’ preferred postures were identified. Application: Both the developed SMGs and identified sitting strategies would be of use as considerable information in ergonomic design/evaluation of automobile interior layout.

Jangwoon Park,Younggeun Choi,Baekhee Lee,Kihyo Jung,Sungjin Sah,Heecheon You 대한인간공학회 2014 大韓人間工學會誌 Vol.33 No.2

Objective: The present study is intended to objectively classify upper- & lower-body sitting strategies and identify the effects of gender and OPL type on the sitting strategies. Background: A sitting strategy which statistically represents comfortable driving posture can be used as a reference posture of a humanoid in virtual design and evaluation of a driver"s seat. Although previous research has classified sitting strategies for driving postures in various occupant package layout (OPL) types, the existing classification methods are not objective and the factors affecting sitting strategies have not been identified. Method: Forty drivers" preferred driving postures in three different OPL types (coupe, sedan, and SUV) were measured by a motion capture system. Next, the measured driving postures were classified by K-means cluster method. Results: Sitting strategies of upper-body were classified as erect (33%), slouched (41%), and reclined (26%) postures, and those of lower-body were classified as knee bent (42%), knee extended (32%), and upper-leg lifted (26%) postures. Significant differences at α = 0.05 in the upper-body sitting strategy by gender and lowerbody sitting strategy by OPL type were found. Application: Both the classified sitting strategies and the identified factors would be of use in ergonomic seat design and evaluation.

Background: Ordinary shoes have an inconvenience that the laces should be retied when they are untied, otherwise the wearer could fall down or have a safety accident. Tying shoe laces is especially uncomfortable for seniors and disabled people with difficulty using hands. Objective: Present study validates the ergonomic effects of the one-touch system developed for refining the inconvenience of tying laces and improving prevention of being untied of laces. Method: Validation of the one-touch system has been conducted with eleven seniors, ten disabled people, and ten ordinary adults. They evaluated the one-touch system and the ordinary shoe laces in terms of subjective criteria (overall satisfaction, convenience of use, wearing comfort, securing stability, and motion efficiency) and objective criteria (tying time). Results: The level of overall satisfaction of the one-touch system was 1.6 times higher than ordinary lace shoes where the one-touch system got 6.3 points each from seniors and disabled people, and 5.1 points from ordinary adults while ordinary lace shoes got 3.9 points from seniors, 3.7 points from disabled people, and 3.2 points from ordinary adults. Especially in the group of disabled people and seniors with difficulty using hands, the result of the one-touch system was 1.5 to 4.6 times higher than those of the ordinary lace shoes in terms of convenience of use, securing stability, and motion efficiency. In terms of tying time, buckling the one-touch system shoes took 2.3 to 3.8 times quicker than tying ordinary shoe laces where it took 8.6 seconds for seniors, 11.8 seconds for disabled people, and 6.9 seconds for ordinary adults to tie ordinary shoe laces, while it took 3.2 seconds for seniors, 5.2 seconds for disabled people, 1.8 seconds for ordinary adults to buckle the one-touch system shoes. Conclusion: It was validated that the way of buckling the one-touch system shoes is more satisfactory and efficient than the way of tying the ordinary shoe laces. Application: The one-touch system is highly expected to be applicable to shoes with laces. Moreover, it could be used in product design for seniors and disabled people with difficulty using hands, and children group.
