RAMSIS Automotive

RAMSIS, a leading ergonomics tool, is continuously improved through collaboration with the German automotive industry. It ensures optimal vehicle ergonomics and enhances development efficiency, helping vehicles perform at their best.

Benefits include: 

• Definition of representative test groups
• The world’s largest anthropometric database. 
• Realistic automatic posture calculations.  
• Various ergonomic analyses. 

Seat adjustment area

Ramsis products help define the optimal seat adjustment ranges in automotive design to accommodate international driver populations. By simulating various body types and postures, the adjustment ranges ensure that drivers of all sizes can achieve a comfortable and ergonomic seating position, improving both safety and driving comfort.

Direct and Indirect Vision

The design of direct and indirect vision in automotive vehicles ensures an optimal field of view both on displays and outside the vehicle. This includes strategically positioning mirrors, cameras, and instrument panels to minimize blind spots and enhance visibility, improving driver awareness, safety, and overall driving experience.

A Space Miracle

Creating a “space miracle” in automotive design involves optimizing ergonomic specifications for instrument positioning. This ensures that controls, displays, and instruments are within easy reach and line of sight, minimizing strain and promoting a comfortable driving posture. The thoughtful arrangement enhances driver efficiency and safety while maximizing the available cabin space.

Safety

Analyzing the belt routing over the driver and passengers ensures optimal safety in automotive design. Proper positioning of seat belts and their routing helps secure occupants in the event of a collision, minimizing injury risks. This analysis considers comfort, accessibility, and compliance with safety standards to enhance both protection and ease of use for all passengers.

Vehicle Ingress and Egress

Analyzing ingress and egress dimensions in vehicle design ensures easy and safe entry and exit for drivers and passengers. This includes evaluating door sizes, step heights, and clearance space to accommodate a wide range of users, improving accessibility and reducing the risk of injury when entering or exiting the vehicle.

Sitting Comfortably in the Black

The space requirements for rear seat passengers are carefully analyzed to ensure sitting comfort, particularly in terms of legroom, headroom, and overall seating posture. Adequate space allows passengers to sit comfortably for long periods, improving the overall travel experience and reducing discomfort, especially in vehicles with limited cabin space.

Everything Under Control

Optimizing display and storage concepts in automotive design ensures that all controls, information displays, and storage compartments are easily accessible and organized. This enhances the driver’s ability to operate the vehicle efficiently while keeping the cabin uncluttered, improving overall comfort, usability, and safety during the drive.

Sufficient Forces

Analyzing the maximum actuating force, such as when closing the trunk, ensures that the design is both user-friendly and functional. The required force is optimized to make the action easy for users while maintaining secure closure. This reduces strain and enhances the overall ergonomics of the vehicle, ensuring that tasks like trunk closing are performed with minimal effort.
