Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the train seat dimensions suitable for keeping comfortable postures. We designed a special experimental seat of which the lengths and angles are adjustable separately. Seat dimensions keeping subjects comfortable were measured for the restricted posture and the extended posture. The significant differences of dimensions fur two postures were analyzed, and the differences were found on backrest-seatpan angles, length of backrest and so on. The dimension differences fur the levels of height and weight were also found out. Some dimensions were correlated with subjects' height and weight..
