An Ergonomic Design of Brake and Accelerator Pedal Placement for Korean Driver

자동차 브레이크 페달 배치의 인간공학적 설계

Optimum relocation of the brake relative to the accelerator can reduce stopping diatance and may mean the difference between an accident and a near-accident. A driving simulator was used to examine effiency of brake time. Brake time was measured for 30 participants in six conditions. Brake times were shown to improve as a result of moving the brake pedal from its typical heights above the accelerator to positions below the accelerator.
