Vehicle Anthropometric Specification

Abstract

The Australian Defence Force (ADF) will be acquiring a number of vehicles in the near future. When acquiring a new vehicle, numerous factors must be considered when determining the most suitable option for the ADF. One very important consideration concerns the anthropometric accommodation aspect of the workstation. Ideally, the vehicle should safely accommodate a wide range of male and female body sizes, maximising the pool of potential users. This report provides an athropometric specification that can be used to support vehicle acquisitions and upgrades when no suitable data on the relevant ADF population is available.
