To this aim, an ergonomic analysis of egress/ingress postures has been performed on a physical mock-up, which is considered as a reliable tool when investigating driving space. Six workers with different anthropometries participated to the experiment. The influence of three seat heights, two headlining heights and three headlining widths were tested while participants performed a simulated mail delivery task. Based on goniometers and video observations, a Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) was conducted. Perceived discomfort was estimated with a Category Partitioning Scale (CP-50). Results showed that REBA scores were mainly at medium risk (5.18 ± 1.75). Discomfort scores were significantly influenced by seat height (χ2 (2) = 7.79, p = 0.02), especially for short participants when seat height was equal to 760 mm (Z = -2.21, p = 0.03).

  • Handling Subjective Product Properties in Engineering, Food and Fashion
    INTERNATIONAL DESIGN CONFERENCE - DESIGN 2014 Dubrovnik - Croatia, May 19 - 22, 2014. HANDLING SUBJECTIVE PRODUCT PROPERTIES IN ENGINEERING, FOOD AND FASHION C. Eckert, G. Bertoluci and B. Yannou Keywords: product evaluation, subjective properties, comparison between domains 1. Introduction Design processes are driven by the requirements that they need to meet and the constraints that the products, design processes and organisations are subject to. Many of the resulting product properties can be assessed objectively, but many products across a range of domains have very important characteristics that are not objectively assessable through direct measurements or simulation models. In engineering design these include properties like handling ability or engine noise in car or trucks. These properties affect the consumer perception of the product and are some important factors buying decisions and brand perception. Engineering companies find these properties often harder to handle than objectively measureable properties, such as emission or fuel consumption. While in engineering these subjective properties are important factors that influence design processes and create a certain degree of process iteration, subjective factors play a much more important part in other design domains such as food and fashion. This paper contrasts engineering practise with our observations in the food industry, which relies very heavily on user and expert panels, and the fashion industry, which trusts the assessments of professional designers and rarely interacts with customers; and reflects over lessons that could be learned for engineering design. After discussing design methods dealing with subjective properties of products in section 2, the methodlogy of our research is explained in section 3. The domains of automotive design, food innovation and fashion design are discussed in terms of their contexts, players in the design process, constraints and the way subjective properties are handled.

  • LED Technology: More Meaning to Automotive Design
    How LED technology is bringing more meaning to automotive design Diving into the light cluster to understand LED lighting implementations While today’s vehicle owners are unlikely to have lights in their car that can be repaired without the support of a garage, cars at the beginning of the 20th century were lucky to have lights at all. Vehicle lighting was considered an optional extra back then, while the lights available were more focused on making the vehicle visible at night rather than lighting the way. Beautiful brass lamps, adapted from horse-drawn carriages and powered by oil, were the norm. Featuring four glass sides, the glass protected the flame from the wind while in motion. Acetylene gas, generated by water dripping on carbide crystals, or under pressure in a cylinder-based system known as Prest- O-Lite, provided alternative approaches. Over time, the electrically-powered incandescent light bulb was introduced, with their mirror-backed reflective housings providing an improved view of the road ahead during night-time jaunts. Even back then features such as adaptive headlights were developed. With the lamps directly linked to the steering system, they allowed drivers to peer around dark corners1. ADAPTING TO NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND TRENDS In recent years, the incandescent bulb has slowly moved into retirement around the entire vehicle’s lighting system. Halogen headlights have been giving way to HID Xenon solutions, while some manufacturers have also integrated LEDs and even lasers in their implementations. These changes have reduced power consumption while also improving driver visibility, making them feel safer on the road.

  • Automotive Styling
    21ST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING DESIGN, ICED17 21-25 AUGUST 2017, THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, VANCOUVER, CANADA AUTOMOTIVE STYLING: SUPPORTING ENGINEERING- STYLING CONVERGENCE THROUGH SURFACE-CENTRIC KNOWLEDGE BASED ENGINEERING Feldinger, Ulrich Ernst (1); Kleemann, Sebastian (2); Vietor, Thomas (2) 1: Volkswagen AG, Germany; 2: Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany Abstract The emotional impression a car imprints on a potential buyer is as equally important for its commercial success as fulfilling functional requirements. Hence, to create a positive emotional impression of a vehicle, great effort is put into a car's styling process. One of the key aspects during the early stages of the automotive design process is the convergence of styling and engineering design. While requirements stemming from engineering design are usually characterised by quantitative values, styling requirements are rather qualitative in nature. Converging these two requirement types is laborious. The present publication focuses on supporting this process through Knowledge Based Engineering. This is achieved by introducing a method which enables the designer to intuitively regard functional requirements during the styling phase. Moreover, the method improves the process of technical requirement checks regarding the shape and orientation of styling surfaces which exceed conventional package verifications.

To help beginner AED students learn smoothly, we developed modular courses and proposed to teach basic form generation. Six modular assignments were developed for the courses on Form Theory and Transportation Design, and 22 and 20 students, respectively, completed all the assignments of each course. All students were guided to become familiar with the five form factors: proportion, contour, volume, surface, and detail. According to the student self-assessments and responses for the Form Theory course, students gained a statistically equivalent learning experience of form factors from the four assignments; however, they gained significantly different levels of understanding and confidence. There was also a significant difference in understanding form factors during AED clay modeling. Further, students considered that the last two assignments in the Form Theory course had a significantly stronger relationship with learning AED than the first two assignments did.

  • School of Industrial Design Automotive Restoration Program
    FOUNDED IN SAN FRANCISCO 1929 BY ARTISTS FOR ARTISTS School of Industrial Design Featured Program: Automotive Restoration 1 Academy of Art University has helped to open students’ eyes and has given them the vision necessary to see and create art, and make a life of art. What we do here is enable students to create, and that’s what we’ve been doing since 1929. There is an industry demand for entry level Automotive Restorers, and most programs lack the historical restoration and preservation elements necessary to restore vintage vehicles. Our program will not only focus on technology, but it will also provide instruction for building the unique skillsets, historical knowledge, and research skills required for replicating historically authentic classic cars. Vintage vehicle restoration is unique in that it requires parts to be repaired or reproduced because many cannot be purchased or refurbished from a factory. For this reason, our new Automotive Restoration program will train for hands-on skills and machining technology, while also covering the critical component of history and research processes for repairing parts or creating historically accurate components for authenticity. Car collectors place a high value on historical preservation because original parts have more historical significance and also increase the value of a car. Our students will receive training on how to evaluate a component and determine if it must be fabricated or if it can be repaired. The School of Industrial Design has the facilities and a long tradition of excellence in production, analysis, and research, which will be leveraged to support this new program.

Johan Ölvander ABSTRACT Even though Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools have changed the way designers work in most parts of the design process, designers still mostly use pen-and-paper sketching when generating design ideas. Previous studies exploring the use of CAD tools for design ideation have concluded that the tools available at the time did not support reflective conversation, serendipitous interpretation and creativity, making them unsuited for design ideation.
