RAMSIS application model „Passenger“



Initial situation

Deviation of the real passenger posture from the posture of RAMSIS on passenger seats.

Target: Checking the RAMSIS "Passenger" posture model and measuring the deviation

from the real posture of passengers on passenger seats

Example: 95. Percentile♂, Seat: BL3520

Living Space Investigations 2D

With RAMSIS: 5th percentile♀, 50th

percentile and 95th percentile♂

Consideration of the sitting contour

Simulation of a sitting position that is

as realistic as possible.

Target:

• Check dimensions to describe the

impression of space, as well as the knee and

foot space at a certain seat pitch

• Define comparability between different seat

types.
