Results of previous driver's eye- location studies have been used to develop a fixed seat eyeellipse and counters that describe driver's head locations. Centroid data from these and other eye-location studies are used as a means of locating the eyeellips according to seat back angle. Results of data on driver's eye locations for varied vehicle packages ranging from sports cars to heavy trucks are summarized in tables, which include statistical definitions of tangent cutoff eyeellipses.
