怀孕的乘员对安全工程师提出了特别的挑战，因为他们的人体测量不同，而且乘员中还有额外的乘员。对22名怀孕司机在怀孕期间的人体测量和坐姿进行了详细的研究。受试者在一个可调节的座椅降压中进行测试，该座椅降压可以配置为具有不同的皮带固定位置的不同车辆组件几何形状。每个受试者在怀孕期间都接受了四次测试，以检查座椅位置、坐姿人体测量以及腰带和肩带位置随孕龄的变化。收集的数据包括怀孕司机的首选座位位置、怀孕乘客与方向盘和安全气囊模块的接近程度、受试者躯干和腹部相对于安全带中心线的轮廓，以及受试者对其坐姿和接近车辆部件的感知。观察怀孕的腹部大小，形状，接近方向盘边缘和约束作为孕龄和母亲的身高和体重的函数。
Pregnant occupants pose a particular challenge to safety engineers because of their different anthropometry and the additional occupant within the occupant. A detailed study of the anthropometry and seated posture of twenty-two pregnant drivers over the course of their pregnancies was conducted. Subjects were tested in an adjustable seating buck that could be configured to different vehicle package geometries with varying belt anchorage locations. Each subject was tested four times over the course of her pregnancy to examine changes in seat positioning, seated anthropometry, and positioning of the lap and shoulder belts with gestational age. Data collected include preferred seating positions of pregnant drivers, proximity of the pregnant occupant to the steering wheel and airbag module, contours of the subjects' torsos and abdomens relative to seat-belt centerline contours, and subject perceptions of their seated posture and proximity to vehicle components. Observations regarding the pregnant abdomen size, shape, and proximity to the steering-wheel rim and restraints as functions of gestational age and maternal stature and weight are presented.
