Research on the Blind Area in the Display Zone of the Automobile Dashboard

Abstract:

Visual field of the driver will impact directly on the active safety of the automobile. In this paper, the Chinese eye ellipse in 95th percentile was established based on the modified Chinese physical dimensions data and the equation which is used to position the ellipse with the AHP as the reference point was deduced, providing reference for the design and check work of the automobile visual field. Parameterized model which is used to calculate the blind area in the display zone of the dashboard is built, basing on the Chinese eye ellipse in 95th percentile and its position equation. When the design parameter is changed, the blind area will update synchronously according to the geometric relationship between each dimension, and this characteristic of the model is helpful to avoid redundant design, reduce designers' burden and save time.
