Application & Function
The Automotive H-Point Measuring Dummy is a professional-grade testing device used to accurately determine the driver’s seating reference point (H-point) — a critical parameter for seat design, occupant positioning, and crash test alignment.
Engineered for precision and repeatability, this dummy ensures compliance with global automotive standards, making it an indispensable tool for OEMs, testing laboratories, and research institutions.
The H-Point Measuring Dummy is designed to replicate the seated posture of a human occupant, providing accurate three-dimensional spatial data inside the vehicle cabin.
It is widely applied in:
Vehicle seat design and ergonomic evaluation
Interior layout verification and comfort assessment
Crash test positioning and occupant safety calibration
Automotive benchmarking and seat adjustment research
Standards Compliant
GB/T 11563-1995 — H-Point Measuring Device and Seating Reference Point Determination
SAE J826 — Devices for Defining and Measuring Vehicle Seating Accommodation
ISO 6549 — Road Vehicles — Procedure for H-Point Determination
FMVSS (49 CFR Part 572) — U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard for occupant positioning
