A driver's field of view is an essential requirement for decreasing traffic crashes and increasing safety. This article improves driver safety by analyzing factors that affect the invisibility angles formed by a vehicle's A and B pillars. An experiment was conducted with 117 participants. Two models were developed, each associated with one invisibility angle. In the A-pillar invisibility model, the age, weight, waist circumference, torso angle and distance between eyes and windshield were significant. For the B-pillar model, the age, gender, stature, waist depth, waist breadth, torso angle and distance between steering wheel and abdomen were significant. Some of these factors increase the invisibility angle(s), including age, stature, torso angle, distance between windshield and eyes, and distance between steering wheel and abdomen. Other factors decrease the invisibility angle(s), including weight, waist circumference, waist depth and waist breadth. In addition, gender significantly affects the invisibility angle.
驾驶员的视野是减少交通事故和提高安全性的一项基本要求。本文通过分析影响车辆A柱和B柱形成的盲区角度的因素来提高驾驶员安全性。对117名参与者进行了一项实验。开发了两个模型,每个模型与一个盲区角度相关。在A柱盲区模型中,年龄、体重、腰围、躯干角度以及眼睛与挡风玻璃之间的距离具有显著影响。对于B柱模型,年龄、性别、身高、腰深、腰宽、躯干角度以及方向盘与腹部之间的距离具有显著影响。其中一些因素会增大盲区角度,包括年龄、身高、躯干角度、挡风玻璃与眼睛之间的距离以及方向盘与腹部之间的距离。其他因素会减小盲区角度,包括体重、腰围、腰深和腰宽。此外,性别对盲区角度有显著影响。
