Abstract
The objective of this project is to achieve better ergonomic and improvement in design particularly for the driver seat of Suzuki Mehran. The seat design which lacks modesty and comfort imposes a lot of stress and fatigue to the occupants. Comfort is defined as the interaction between a human and environment which is characterized as a feeling of pleasure and not pain. If the seat of the driver is not comfortable then the chances of diseases like musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) increases and hence could even lead to an accident. The purpose is to develop a seat design that will provide maximum comfort and satisfaction to the occupants. The design is made considering the geometric parameters such as seat back angle, seat height and the angles of natural curve of the spine (of the existing seats).
