Abstract

Design, Vehicles' Ergonomics, Comfort The present paper analyses the relationship between design and comfort among pilots of Baja SAE competitionvehicles. The results indicate that differences between the two models under evaluation, affected the room available to use the control-panel, the driver's posture, and consequently;  the comfort in the cockpit. The paper ends by recommending changes in the design to improve its ergonomic aspects.
