16、publication. prEN 4730:2017 (E) 5 0 Introduction Flight passengers in commercial aviation spend the predominant part of their journey which may take 12 hours or more on their seats. Therefore, aircraft passenger seats are designed to minimize passengers discomfort. This includes the consideration of

17、 body size and its variation within the target population. This document gives guidance on the use of anthropometric data for the dimensioning of aircraft seats to accommodate specific populations as well as mixed populations including the world population. This document also gives advice on how to

18、quantify seat comfort in terms of anthropometric accommodation rates. prEN 4730:2017 (E) 6 1 Scope This document describes the application of anthropometric data for the dimensioning of aircraft passenger seats. The focus is on the use of statistical parameters of anthropometrical measurements as gi

19、ven in CEN ISO/TR 7250-2 and similar sources. Even if methods described in this document might be applicable to feasibility and safety issues the scope of this document is design for comfort. The aim of this document is to give advice to designers to include methods of human-centred design into the

20、design of aircraft seats. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

38、, or protective clothing to the size of the human body. There are various approaches to consider the variety of dimensions and proportions in populations: Sizing systems (e.g. garment), adjustable elements (e.g. seat position in cars) or designing to critical cases (e.g. seats in public transport ve

39、ssels). Aircraft passenger seats belong to the latter category. 4.2 “Fit” and “Reach” problems Design to critical cases means to dimension an item so as to fully accommodate all users with the exception of few, which are beyond the critical case. Regarding the critical case “fit” and “reach” problem

40、s might be distinguished. For instance, if the width of a seat is dimensioned according to the hip width of a corpulent reference person; all individuals with smaller hips will also fit into the seat (“Fit” problem). In contrast, the height of the seat pan should be dimensioned to allow a reference

41、person with short legs to reach the floor with the feet (“Reach problem”). Accommodation to people with longer legs is given when they increase their knee angle. Generally, in case of “fit problems” dimensioning is adjusted for a large reference person, in case of “reach problems” for a small refere

42、nce person. NOTE Accommodation to an average person (mean or median of population data) is in most cases not a reasonable option, since half of the population will likely not fit or reach. 4.3 Percentiles and design limit Small and large reference persons are defined by statistical parameters of the

43、 distribution of the respective sizes (e.g. leg length) in the population. Typically, this is done by fixing a low and a high percentile level (design limit). The nthpercentile of a distribution is the value where n percent of all cases in the distribution fall below. For instance, the 95thpercentil

44、e of the stature of a population is the body height where 95 percent of the respective population is shorter (or 5 percent are taller). Usually, a value between the 1stand the 5thpercentile (i.e. for 1 resp. 5 percent of the population the respective dimension is smaller) is used as small reference

45、and a value between 95thand 99thpercentiles as large reference. NOTE 1 Percentile values (1st, 5th, 50th, 95th, and 99th) for various body measurements and populations can be found in CEN ISO/TR 7250-2. NOTE 2 Additional information regarding statistical properties of anthropometrical data is given

46、in Annex A. prEN 4730:2017 (E) 10 For comfort and efficiency related studies typically a range from 5thto 95thpercentile is applied. Generally, a decision for a design limit should be accompanied by considerations regarding the portion of the population not accommodated within the defined range. Con

47、sequences of non-accommodation may be impossibility of use, reduction of comfort, lack of safety, or another restriction. A design limit defined by the 5thand 95thpercentile may exclude 5 percent of the population, and in case several measurements are critical at the same time even more. For safety

48、relevant dimensions the use of 1stand 99thpercentile is recommended according to EN 547-1 and to EN 614-1. NOTE 3 Aviation regulations may define individual percentiles or constants for certain tests (e.g. CS 25.562). 4.4 Means and procedure In various phases of the product life-cycle anthropometric

49、 studies might be performed with different means. The use of 2D Templates, 3D CAD manikins, anthropomorphic test devices (dummies) or tests with a sample of real humans (EN ISO 15537 gives advice for the selection of test persons) are just some examples. All methods should be based on appropriate anthropometrical data. Some techniques have specific prerequisites, e.g. a digital 3D model or a physical prototype. The direct use of percentilized measurement data as described in this document has minimal requirements and can be performed in very early design st
