【 摘 要 】

Recently, environmental consideration, energy-saving performance and low fuel consumption become important, therefore personal mobility is actively developed. When vehicle become small, it is expected that human body behavior has a big influence on running performance. The influence is related to stability of vehicle and safety of its driver. Simulation is used as a method to investigate the interaction between vehicle and its driver, and the body behavior can be reproduced in advance. However, since it is necessary to consider the validity for the use of simulation, experiments to capture body behavior are indispensable. This research is aimed to obtain knowledge about dynamics of driver riding inside the vehicle. Therefore, subjects are placed on a simple truck simulating a vehicle. The truck is applied lateral acceleration and acceleration in the direction of travel, and the motion of subjects was recorded with the motion capture camera. From the measured data, human characteristics are examined by comparing the body behavior of subjects for each condition.
