Description / Abstract:
This Recommended Practice provides procedures for defining the
Accelerator Heel Point and the Accommodation Tool Reference Point,
a point on the seat H-point travel path which is used for locating
various driver workspace accommodation tools in Class B vehicles
(heavy trucks and buses). Three accommodation tool reference points
are available depending on the percentages of males and females in
the expected driver population (50:50, 75:25, and 90:10 to
95:5).
These procedures are applicable to both the SAE J826 HPM and the
SAE J4002 HPM-II.
