Abstract
Determining the anthropometric measures and biological characteristics of the human body using the conventional method is complex and time-consuming. The introduction of new computer methods (SABALab) allows fast and precise determining of all the important body values in order to adapt the dimensions and forms of elements in the operating ambient system of the road motor vehicle to the driver. The process of motor vehicle driving is performed with the necessary control of sight. While driving a motor vehicle, the necessary visual capabilities are expressed by recognizing the complex structures of actions, identification of diverse forms, colours, and the speed and precision of reactions based on the visual observation. The motor vehicle control is carried out in space and requires extremely good driver’s sight capabilities, decisive for the coordination of movements, speed of reaction, and precision of performance. The driver’s workplace is of a confined type with small layout area and a sitting position of the body which is suitable for ergonomic and biomechanical design. Static and dynamic anthropometric values refer to the kinematic capabilities of the driver and important arrangement of operating elements of the cockpit allowing the necessary degree of vision control and operating activities during the participation in the traffic environment.
