Enhancing Ergonomics and Aesthetics in Hybrid Sports Vehicle Design: A Comprehensive Methodology Integrating IDeS & Human-Centered Approach

This paper presents an integrated approach that combines Industrial Design Structure (IDeS) methodology with Human-Centered techniques to optimize the safety and comfort of hybrid sports vehicles. The study begins with an in-depth analysis of styling trends and then moves on to custom 2D and 3D modeling. A unique method employing calibrated dummies allows customization of the dimensions of the passenger compartment, prioritizing ergonomic features. It has been observed that this approach improves vehicle aesthetics and ensures optimal ergonomic design while prioritizing occupant safety and comfort. In conclusion, this integration not only reduces design time, but also effectively combines attractive styling with passenger comfort and safety, representing a holistic solution for design optimization of hybrid sports vehicles.
