SAE J941:2002 pdf download Motor Vehicle Drivers’ Eye Locations
1. Scope-This SAERecommended Practice establishes the location of drivers’ eyes inside a vehicle. Elliptical (eyellipse) models in three dimensions are used to represent tangent cutoff percentiles of driver eye locations.
Procedures are provided to construct 95 and 99% tangent cutoft eyellipses for a 50/50 gender mix,UnitedStates user population.
Neck pivot(P) points are defined in Section 6 to establish specific left and right eye points for direct andindirect viewing tasks described in SAE J1050. These P Points are defined only for the adjustable seateyellipses defined in Section 4.
This document applies to Class A Vehicles (Passenger Cars，Multipurpose Passenger Vehicles,and LightTrucks) as defined in SAE J1100. Ilt also applies to Class B vehicles (Heavy Trucks), although these eyellipseshave not been updated from previous versions of SAEJ941.
