Introduction In order to apply computer manikins
19、with confidence and trust to equipment design, designers need to know the accuracy and reliability of these tools. The needed accuracy depends on the purpose of their use. Some designers need high degrees of accuracy (e.g. quantitative clearance analyses), while others need less (e.g. training simul
20、ations). A method of checking the basic degree of accuracy is given in ISO 15536-1:2005. It is based on the comparison between anthropometric data used in creation of the manikin and the corresponding measurements taken from the manikin itself. These data and measurements apply to the standardized m
21、easurement postures only, i.e. standing and sitting (see ISO 7250:1996). However, computer manikins are used to simulate a wider range of human postures and movements during equipment design than standardized postures, and it is essential that designers know the level of their anthropometric accurac
22、y also in these conditions. Moreover, problems arise when trying to assess the accuracy and repeatability of computer manikins and their associated applications because of the many anthropometric and biomechanical parameters used in constructing them. Many specialized tests are required to accuratel
23、y measure every possible size, shape and working posture that people can exhibit. This problem is further compounded when manikin data or algorithms are changed, requiring additional tests assessing their dimensional accuracy. Because it is not economically feasible for one organization to test ever
24、y manikin parameter under every possible test condition, developers and users need to share the responsibility for assessing computer manikin accuracy. Developers may test manikin system accuracy for the most common situations, but it is essential that the users be provided with the means to test th
25、e accuracy and repeatability of manikin systems for their specific applications, too. Therefore, users need to measure manikin accuracy for their specific applications and developers need to provide computer manikins and simple processes for measuring and assessing manikin accuracy. 4 EN ISO 15536-2
26、:2007 (E)1 Scope This part of ISO 15536 establishes the requirements for the verification of the functions and validation of dimensions of computer manikins. These requirements concern the documentation of the data employed to construct computer manikins and the methods employed to verify and valida
27、te their functions with regards to their dimensional accuracy. This part of ISO 15536 extends to anthropometric and biomechanical data and to software functions as they are applied to create computer manikins. Although this document primarily refers to anthropometric data and methods, some biomechan
28、ical parameters are required to build and apply computer manikins and are therefore included. This part of ISO 15536 provides a framework for reporting computer manikin accuracy and human-source data. The standard is intended to enable even non-specialist users of the manikin systems to independentl
29、y perform measurements of each function under field testing conditions using automated software tools provided by developers. It is not intended to require developers to perform specific verification and validation of their manikin systems. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents a
