Abstract

In this study, anthropometric data of 1243 vehicle drivers were sampled and the their age was from 17 to 34 years and averaged 21.85±2.82years. 76 anthropometric static parameters and 11 functional parameters were studied. The 76 static parameters were measured with the Non-contact 3d human boy scanners of VITUS SMART XXL systems while the 11 functional parameters were measured manually with Martin measuring scale. The correlation and fitting formulas of body height, sitting height and other parameters were measured and obtained. We also contrasted measured data with data form GJB 1835-1993. The present analysis showed that the correlation between sizes of body length and sitting height was significant. Sizes of body length and enclosing size and width direction were all increased compared to those in the 1980s. The present results were consistent with other researchers' current research results. The measured data could be an important basis for the data of young male anthropometric parameters and edition of relative standard and design of specific equipment.
