5、 this Practice relates to revisions in SAE J4004 (2008) that change the way foot and pedal reference points are established. The PRP is replaced with the BOFRP which is now a point on the shoe when the shoe is in contact with the accelerator pedal. The AHP to BOF distance was changed from 200 mm to

6、203 mm for better agreement with the previous SAE J826 and SAE J1100:2008. NOTE: Some key differences from the previous version of SAE J4003 are: Use of the SAE 95th SgRP equation with an 87 degree driver ankle angle is recommended. When H30-1 is known, it potentially reduces the number of iterative

7、 calculations that may be required to complete the Benchmarking procedure. Even though manufacturers are encouraged to report the driver seat height (H30), a procedure for determining H30 is now provided. When applied to seats with vertical adjustment (H21) of 40 mm or greater, H30 (and the SgRP) is

8、 established at 20 mm directly above the full down H-point travel path in order to make consistent comparisons of seating packages across vehicles. For vertical adjustment less than 40 mm, the SgRP should be established on the SgRP curve at mid-vertical H-point travel height. This document should yi

9、eld similar results to those from the SAE J826 (2008) design tool, provided that the flat shoe defined in SAE J826 is used. FOREWORDThe tools and procedures for H-point determination given in this standard are based on the SAE H-Point Machine (HPM-II), which is described in SAE J4002. Compared to th

10、e H-point machine described in SAE J826, the changes made to HPM-II have resulted in improved repeatability, greater ease of use, and additional features and measurement capabilities. All efforts were made to achieve these improvements while minimizing their impact on the location of reference point

11、s and measurements. H-point devices are used for the design, audit, and benchmarking of seats. SAE J4002 describes the use of the HPM-II in auditing vehicle seats and other interior compartment dimensions. SAE J4003 describes the use of the HPM-II in benchmarking. Audits are conducted by regulatory

12、agencies and OEMs to assess how closely the vehicle is manufactured to its design intent. Although serving different purposes, auditing and benchmarking procedures are very similar. The most significant difference between them is that audits use actual design intent values to set up the vehicle and

13、position the seat, whereas benchmarking is used to discover the design intent values for competitor vehicles.SAE J4004 describes the use of the H-Point Design tool (HPD) for establishing key vehicle interior reference points used in designing vehicle interior compartments. The HPD is a simplified CA

14、D representation of the HPM. It replaces the 2-D H-point template. The HPD is often used in CAD in conjunction with the physical installation of the HPM during the auditing and benchmarking process.

25、points and dimensions for occupant packaging, (2) to validate (audit) the location of these key reference points and dimensions on physical properties, and (3) to measure competitive vehicles for benchmarking. The procedures employed for each usage vary somewhat. This document describes the use of t

26、he HPM-II for benchmarking.H-point devices are also used for designing, auditing, and benchmarking seats independent of the vehicle. However, in these instances, the reference points and dimensions are defined relative to the seat structure and/or surface, rather than the vehicles interior. The proc

27、edures for positioning the H-point devices in seats do not require the use of the shoe tool or leg segments.For convenience and simplicity, many terms associated with H-point devices use human body parts in their name. However, they should not be construed as measures that indicate occupant accommod

28、ation, human capabilities, or comfort. H-point devices do not represent the size or posture of any category of occupant. 1. SCOPE Benchmarking is used to discover the design intent measurements for seating compartments in vehicles when these measurements are either unknown or are specified using dif

29、fering measurement procedures.SAE J4003 Revised OCT2008 - 4 -This document provides the specifications and procedures to establish consistent measurements for benchmarking vehicle seating positions using the H-Point Machine (HPM-II1) described in SAE J4002 and the H-Point Design tool (HPD) described

30、 in SAE J4004. The HPM-II is a physical tool used to establish key reference points and measurements in a vehicle (Figure 1). The HPD is a CAD tool that aids in the benchmarking process (see Appendix A and SAE J4004). FIGURE 1 - SIDE VIEW OF THE HPM 2. REFERENCES This document contains provisions wh

35、ating reference point), LSP (lumbar support prominence), AHP (accelerator heel point), BOFRP (ball of foot reference point), SPA (shoe plane angle) and FRP (floor reference point). See SAE J4002 for a complete description and specifications for the HPM, as well as dimensional verification procedures

36、 for the HPM elements.4. HPM BENCHMARKINGOVERVIEW AND PREPARATIONS These procedures can be used to measure and assess vehicle interiors of physical properties whenever design intent information is not available. Most often, benchmarking is used to reliably quantify competitive vehicles.4.1 Use of th

37、e Physical Tool (HPM) and the CAD Tool (HPD) Benchmarking usually involves a mix of CAD and physical assessment; different users rely more on one type of assessment or the other. The extent that CAD is used will depend on the individual company, organization, and/or particular goals of the benchmark

38、ing activity.The HPM is a physical tool used in physical properties. By using the HPM in conjunction with CMM equipment and the HPD, key reference points in the vehicles interior can be established (e.g. SgRP, AHP, BOFRP, FRP). With this information, other design devices can then be used in the CAD

39、environment (e.g. eyellipses, head contours, reach curves). These measurements are described in more detail in Appendix C.4.1.1 Use of HPM At minimum, the HPM shall be installed to determine the following seat measurements: H-point location Torso angle Cushion angle Lumbar support prominence - The b

40、ack pan of the HPM is articulated to fit various seat back contours. LSP is measured with a scale attached to the HPM back pan linkage (Figure 2).FIGURE 2 - LUMBAR SUPPORT PROMINENCE (LSP) These four seat measurements can be determined without installing the HPM shoe, lower leg and thigh assemblies.

41、 SAE J4003 Revised OCT2008 - 6 -Additional measurements that are taken using the HPM or the HPD in CAD are as follows: SgRP location Shoe Plane and Floor Plane Angles BOFRP, FRP, and AHP coordinates Hip, Knee, Thigh, and Ankle Angles Head room Leg room Knee clearance Leg clearance Often users will f

42、ind it helpful to physically install the HPM shoe tool in order to directly obtain pedal and floor measurements. Setting the seat (with the HPM or HPD in it) to the driver SgRP position, and installation of the leg assemblies, will often be done in CAD. When using the H-Point Machine (HPM), interact

43、ions can occur between adjacent seating positions (i.e. having two HPMs installed in adjacent seating positions can change the results obtained for both seating positions). Therefore, only one machine should be installed in a particular row of seats during each test. 4.1.2 Use of HPD in CAD Except f

44、or the four seat measurements cited in 4.1.1, it is possible to take all other measurements in CAD using the HPD. Following is a list of data that will need to be digitized in order to benchmark in CAD with the HPD: geometry of the accelerator pedal pad at pedal centerline floor surface (depressed f

45、loor covering) around the approximate location of the heel of shoe tunnel surface near accelerator pedal, if it could interfere with the HPM shoe seat travel window, for positions with adjustable seats an H-point location, obtained by installing the HPM divot points on the cushion and back pans to a

46、id in posturing the HPD floor and seatback profile of preceding seat, for 2nd and 3rd row passenger positions headliner surface in the area where head room will be measured 4.2 Prepare the Property for HPM Installation When the HPM is used for benchmarking of vehicles, bucks (vehicle mock-ups), seat

47、s or seat assemblies, the following considerations apply. 4.2.1 Temperature and Relative Humidity Seat coverings and foam may respond differently to the weight of the HPM depending on their temperature and humidity. Sufficient time (at least 4 h) shall be allowed to ensure that the seat material rea

48、ches room temperature. Room temperature shall be 19 to 26 C (66 to 79 F). Room relative humidity should be within a range of 50% 5%. If this relative humidity is not met, record both relative humidity and room temperature. 4.2.2 Leveling The property (e.g., vehicle) shall be leveled prior to any HPM

49、 installation or measurement. Once the property is leveled, care should be taken to not lean on it, rock it, or in some other way knock it off level. Usually the top or bottom of the vehicle rocker structure is level with grid. SAE J4003 Revised OCT2008 - 7 -4.2.3 Grid Reference Unlike auditing, benchmarking will not have fiducial points available to establish vehicle grid references. Arbitr
