Master Thesis The Effect of Car Mass on (internal and External) Safety With a Case Study on Concept Family Car(Izmir Institute of Technology, 1999) Mızıkacı, Sinan; Seçkin, YavuzTransportation means are always of importance to people due to their functions. Originally, a vehicle in terms of a means of transportation has been thought as only a device what takes people from one place to another point. But with considering both occupant being transported and vehicle means of transportation since their inextricable relations, vehicle has become significantly considerable within its design.Prodded by industrial revolution, especially after introducing the first mechanized mode of vehicle in 1769, the technological advantages have highly intensely been used in automotive, and also now. Primarily, within that advantages, even all efforts providing for retention of vehicle during a crash to protect occupants from the injury risk have been zeroed in on for only the one objective: to design vehicles with a high capability of safety. In this thesis, We consider that people in scale unit as family for vehicle design of the need. Environment for the family vehicle is thought a place encircling metropolis wherein the people as grouped lives out and wishing that it was so pleasant place, just a few miles away from the city, taking advantages of working at home. Moreover, we are in making a think of vehicle design for family that ought to contain the conventional signs more within global perceptiveness as small, but not compressed down since the generation becomes huger in size by years, and finally has enough space of interior regarding ergonomical and anatomical requirements. Under the definitions for creating the concept family vehicle within limits, the project aims to present most apropos model, and assumes to allow the person to drive and to move on it in safest position. In this paper, in the light of above, we will set out to clarify the safety features of vehicle structure for Family Vehicle, and with respect to that each connective parameter in the boundary of freedom will be clarified.Master Thesis User-Centered Design Criteria in Automobile Design With a Case Study of Automobile Dashboard Design(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2006) Arslan, Fatih; Seçkin, YavuzOur era provides us enormous changes and unforeseen advancements in technology, which lead to specific changes in economic and socio-cultural values. As a result of this shift, consumer.s need and expectations have changed into a search for new experiences. Companies, in search of satisfying the new expectations of this era.sconsumer, aspire to be innovative. To achieve this, they are concentrate on the user as the main source of innovation and design their products taking into consideration ergonomic, user needs and functionality. Automotive Industries is the one of the most developed and changed industries. Nowadays, especially interior of the automobile has changed with significant development. This paper describes and discusses the approach development aspects, and evoluation phases of a new generation interior design of automobile. The primary interest in the driver.s environment is the relationship between the driver.s seat, steering wheel and dashboard location. These are the workstation components that the driver required to stay in constand contact with, and the location of these control dictates the driver.s posture. Consequently, this study mainly aims to explore the role of user-centered design criterias for design phase and the role of ergonomic and human factors for automobile dashboard design.
