A total of 25 anthropological measures important for the engine driver's cab design were taken from a sample of 51 male engine drivers from all parts of Croatia, out of which 5 and 95 percentiles along with central 90 % were determined. According to scientific findings that body height decreases with age, subjects were divided by age into four groups. Calculated arithmetic mean and harmonic mean of ratios hi/h for individual anthropological measures hi in relation to the standing height h are the same for all age groups, with minor deviations. The research has been taken whenever it was possible to use body ratios hi/h for the design of driver's cab in new vehicles adapted to the target population of drivers, only by knowing standing height and mass span in the central 90%. For final conclusions the research should be repeated with a larger sample, taking into account amounts of BMI within each age group because of insufficient and unequal number of respondents in age groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
