STUDY ON ARM MANIPULABILITY EVALUATION TECHNIQUE FOR IMPROVEMENT OF OPERATION PERFORMANCE

The forecast technique of operation performance in the design early phase is desired to improve the adaptability of the vehicle operation equipment (door and the steering wheel etc.) and human more efficiently though the evaluation by the subjectivity evaluation and the human measurement (electromyogram, motion capture) has been used up to now as an evaluation technique of operation performance. Recently, the computer manikin has been used by the design phase for the interior comfort assessments, but one to be predictable enough of mechanical characteristics of human musculoskeletal system is not found.
