Some As The Women It The As As Psycho The Leg These The Car In The These The The Virtual Virtual This The Researchers The Some Some Other Some studies focus on the impact of certain parts of the car, including the door sill, seat height, and roof height. The data collected by an optical motion capture system was used in recent studies. However, the differences that were observed between the movement strategies are only clues to future research [ 32 and 39]. The use of observational methods has been very helpful in this study area, which is related to the bodily processes of getting into and out of a car. The observation procedures are not accurate because they lack the numerical reference marks that are necessary to measure and quantify what is observed. Research methods that rely on observation are, therefore, difficult to use, as they require a great deal of experience and knowledge in order to effectively implement measures that mitigate the observed outcomes [ 29, 32].
Visual motion analysis can be classified by dividing them into two-dimensional planes based on their similarities [ 35 and 40]. This research, using graphical analysis, has the advantage that it allows the user to observe a car they have never This will enable us to analyze the movements of many subjects who may not be able to get into and out of the car the best way possible for their height, physical condition and the geometry of the vehicle. If they have difficulty, they will try to alter their technique and may even look for ways to support the torso and hands in order to improve balance and reduce discomfort.
Materials and Methods
The qualitative method used in the research was visual analysis. Local observation was used to observe seniors stepping into and out of new models of cars. The data collected was analyzed and treated using video and photographic recordings. The study was based on the assumption that the subjects were unaware that they were being watched. This was a way to guarantee that movements were processed naturally and spontaneously and that informed consent was obtained for participation in the study. The study was conducted in pavilions 1, 2, 4, and 5 over five consecutive days, lasting nine hours each day. The majority of the subjects were males (the largest group among the visitors) with an average age of over 50. The study included only 49 subjects despite the large number of records. This was due to the strict selection criteria for the sample and the requirement of informed consent.
For the study, the selection criteria were samples of subjects of variable anthropomorphology in three groups with vehicle typologies – each group with three types of vehicles of varying dimensions and geometry, with steering wheels on the left – but homogeneous characteristics. This study does not focus on vehicle brands but rather on vehicle typologies. The vehicle brands and manufacturers will not be revealed for ethical and confidentiality reasons. The methodology adopted can be described as follows: Step 1 – Identification of places where there is the most affluence and subjects who are older will be more likely to experiment with cars. Step 2 – Observation and evaluation of somatic movements adopted by users when they enter. The research was limited to certain car models that were classified as “top of range,” “very luxurious,” and super sports cars because they were located in sectors 1, 5, and 6 of the pavilion with restricted access. We had difficulty collecting valid images and collecting informed consent on the last two days of the weekend due to the increased influx of visitors. The good sample was reduced to 33 subjects by this procedure. The analysis of the subsequent recordings collected by the filming method allowed us to increase the number to 49. We included those subjects whose video recordings were disrupted by other visitors in the filming area, but this did not affect the analysis or understanding of bodily movements to enter/exit the vehicle. All visual records which met the following criteria were deemed valid.
(i). Subjects that are captured using the filming technique with complete records of entry or exit movement in any class of motor vehicle, allowing for small interferences, such as the hands, feet, and arms of other subjects, if they do not interfere with the interpretation of somatic movements strategies;
(ii). The front of the vehicle, i.e., the area that can be accessed from the driver’s seat, is the most convenient area for subjects to enter and exit the car.
