Simulation of Human-Vehicle Interaction in Vehicle Design at Saab Automobile: Present and Future
(2003) The 6th SAE Digital human modeling conference 112(7). p.644-650- Abstract
- Developers, reviewers and users of human simulation
tools claim that the use of these tools may reduce
development time and development cost. However,
before these benefits will be fully visible, there are some
barriers to overcome. The aims of this case study are to
identify which departments at Saab Automobile use
some sort of human simulation tool today, and to identify
the information flow and procedure when the tool is
used. Four departments crash safety, packaging,
production planning and vehicle ergonomics were
identified as direct users of human simulation tools. The
tools used were finite element with crash dummy

before these benefits will be fully visible, there are some

identify which departments at Saab Automobile use

the information flow and procedure when the tool is
used. Four departments crash safety, packaging,
production planning and vehicle ergonomics were
identified as direct users of human simulation tools. The
tools used were finite element with crash dummy
representation, SAE human model, Safework and
Ramsis. Communications between human simulation
tool users are limited. Communications are done through
the project management. The crash safety and
packaging departments have formal descriptions of the
human simulation process, whereas production planning
and vehicle ergonomics have no formal process
descriptions. To gain from the benefits of human
simulation tools, Saab Automobile needs to adapt them
to the organization and the organization to the tools.
Integration of a working methodology is essential for
effective and efficient use in the other human simulation
departments where this is currently lacking. (Less)
