Abstract

The driving posture and seating pressure are relatively important to enhance a comfortable driving experience. Several techniques have been promoted to improve the car seat design and adjustment to reduce the risk of driving fatigue especially for driver who always conduct long distance driving. In this study, two types of national cars, Proton Saga and Perodua Myvi were selected to compare the seating pressure of each individual during the driving session. Twelve respondents conducted driving session with Tekscan CONFORMat (model 5330) setup in both national cars. The object pressure along the journey was recorded using CONFORMat Research 7.60 software. Furthermore, object pressure was compared among six different weight categories, pressure distribution for both car seat has also been discussed in this study to show the importance of evenly distributed of driver body pressure towards the car seat. Lastly, the analysed results were discussed at the end of this report, limitations faced in this study were recorded and suggestions have been given for future improvement.
