Scope
Provides equations/tools predicting where drivers of varying body size place a horizontally adjustable seat (H-point as a function of seat-package geometry — H30 height, steering-wheel diameter W9), by driver-population percentile and male/female ratio, to design and validate seat-track travel for driver accommodation. The 202412 edition addresses Class B vehicles (heavy trucks/some buses); Class A is covered in companion material.
