Th Percentile Male Template Dimensions

A two dimensional template used to represent the 95th percentile male is made to the following

dimensions:

· A circle of diameter 200 mm (7.87 inch) will represent the hips and buttocks.

· A circle of diameter 200 mm (7.87 inch) will represent the shoulder/cervical region.

· A circle of diameter 300 mm (11.81 inch) will represent the head (with helmet).

· A straight line measuring 490 mm (19.29 inch) will connect the centers of the two

200 mm circles.

· A straight line measuring 280 mm (11.02 inch) will connect the centers of the upper 200 mm circle and the 300 mm head circle.

T3.10.4 The 95th percentile male template will be positioned as follows: (See Figure 2.)

· The seat will be adjusted to the rearmost position,

· The pedals will be placed in the most forward position.

· The bottom 200 mm circle will be placed on the seat bottom such that the distance between the center of this circle and the rearmost face of the pedals is no less than 915 mm (36 inches).

· The middle 200 mm circle, representing the shoulders, will be positioned on the seat back.

· The upper 300 mm circle will be positioned no more than 25.4 mm (1 inch) away from the head restraint (i.e. where the driver’s helmet would normally be located while driving).
