While much research exists on occupant packaging both proprietary and in the literature, more detailed research regarding user preferences for subjective ratings of steering wheel designs is sparse in published literature. This study aimed to explore the driver interactions with production steering wheels in four vehicles by using anthropometric data, driver hand placement, and driver grip design preferences for Generation-Y and Baby Boomers. In this study, participants selected their preferred grip diameter, responded to a series of questions about the steering wheel grip as they sat in four vehicles, and rank ordered their preferred grip design. Thirty-two male participants (16 Baby Boomers between ages 47 and 65 and 16 Generation-Y between ages 18 and 29) participated in the study. Drivers demonstrated different gripping behavior between vehicles and between groups. Recommendations for future work in steering wheel grip design and naturalistic driver hand positioning are discussed.
虽然有很多关于乘员包装的研究，无论是专有研究还是文献研究，但在已发表的文献中，关于用户对方向盘设计的主观评价偏好的更详细研究却很少。本研究旨在通过使用人体测量数据、驾驶员手的位置和驾驶员握把设计偏好，探索驾驶员与四辆汽车中的生产方向盘之间的交互作用。在这项研究中，参与者选择了他们喜欢的握把直径，在坐在四辆汽车中时回答了一系列关于方向盘握把的问题，并对他们喜欢的握把设计进行了排序。32 名男性参与者（16 名年龄在 47 岁至 65 岁之间的婴儿潮一代和 16 名年龄在 18 岁至 29 岁之间的 Y 一代）参加了这项研究。驾驶员在不同车辆和不同群体之间表现出不同的握持行为。讨论了未来在方向盘握把设计和自然驾驶手位置方面的工作建议。
