Purpose: Car seats affect customer satisfaction greatly when the seats' design is changed because car holders are in close contact with the seats. However, the improvement of the current seats' design involves risks such as investment cost, and therefore it needs strategic operating measures from the perspective of customers. Until now, operations of seats' specification have been decided by technical-push rather than market-pull, and carried out based on professionals' experience without measuring customer satisfaction correctly. The purpose of this study is to present a systematic approach to measure customers' perception on the car seats using the Kano model and pairwise comparison technique. Methods: The authors derive 17 major functions of a car seat by analyzing major components of car seats, and conduct a survey of 141 adults who hold a car(s). Results: The results show that consumers perceive the adjustable functions of front seats as must-be while the same functions for rear seats are perceived as attractive. In particular, motor operated functions for both front and rear seats increase customer satisfaction greatly if they are presented. Conclusion: This study shows that how much customer (dis)satisfaction will increase if a function of car seats (non)fulfilled, and therefore, the results of this study will provide practitioners and R&D personnel in new automobile seats development projects with useful information.

2012년중 미국 상무부 센서스국에서 X-12-ARIMA와 TRAMO-SEATS를 동시에 이용할 수 있는 계절조정 프로그램인 X-13ARIMA-SEATS을 공개하였다. 미국을 포함한 각국통계작성기관은 X-12-ARIMA에서 X-13ARIMA-SEATS로 계절조정방법을 전환하여 계절조정통계를 작성해가고 있다. 따라서 우리나라에서도 X-12-ARIMA로부터 X-13ARIMA-SEATS로 계절조정방법을 전환하는 방안을 마련할 필요가 있다. 이 논문에서는 국민소득, 국제수지, 통화통계에 대해 X-13ARIMA-SEATS 프로그램을 통해 계절조정통계를 필터를 달리하여 작성한 후 이를 X-12-ARIMA에 의한 계절조정통계와 비교하였다. 비교 결과 X11필터를 적용한 X-13ARIMA-SEATS에 의한 계절조정은 X-12-ARIMA에 의한 계절조정과 차이가 작게 나타나 X-12-ARIMA로부터 X-13ARIMA-SEATS로의 빠른 전환이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 최근에 새롭게 개발된 X-13A-S 프로그램을 이용하여 우리나라 경제시계열에 적합한 계절조정방법을 모색하였다. 특히 한국의 주요 거시경제지표에 대하여 X-12 필터와 SEATS 방법을 각각 적용하여 계절조정계열을 산출하고, 안정성 멱등성 등 계절조정의 적합성 평가기준을 토대로 두 방법의 유용성에 대한 이론적 실증적 비교분석을 시도하였다. 본 연구의 분석에 의하면 두 방법 모두 안정성이 우수한 것으로 나타나 계절조정의 신뢰성은 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 두 방법 사이의 상대적 비교에서는 대상 자료에 따라 약간 다른 결과를 보이고 있기는 하지만 전체적으로 모형에 기초하여 계절조정을 시행하는 SEATS 방법이 우월한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 구조변화를 고려하여 구간을 나누어 계절변동조정을 시행하면, 전체 기간에 대한 분석에 비해 SEATS 방법에 상대적으로 더 유리한 결과가 도출되었다. 이는 모형 분석에 기초를 둔 TRAMO-SEATS 방법이 계절조정의 이론적 정합성 및 일관성 측면에서 더 우수하다는 최근의 학문적인 연구 결과와 일치한다. 이러한 결과는 그 동안 현재 국내에서 사용되고 있는 X-12-ARIMA 방법 이외에 TRAMO-SEATS 방법을 한국 경제시계열 자료에 적용할 필요성이 있다는 것을 암시하는 것이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 향후 X-13A-S 프로그램과 같이 두 방법을 같이 병행하면서 이를 우리 자료에 맞게 조정하는 방안에 관한 지속적인 연구가 필요하다. 이를 통해 계량모형에 기초한 TRAMO-SEATS 방법의 이론적 정합성과 X-12-ARIMA 방법의 실증적 적합성을 결합시킬 수 있는 새로운 차원의 계절조정방법을 계속 모색해야 한다.

This paper presents a concept on seat assignment systems. The concept is based on the assumption that customers or passengers prefer to select seats at their own choosing and allowing them to do so would fragment remaining seats. This undesirable condition may make a group of people intending to be seated together unable to find a sufficient number of consecutive seats. The concept proposed is to set aside a number of seats when the map of available seats is shown for customer's selection. A number of functions are created to allot seats to be visible for choosing according to the number and locations of the remaining seats and the number in the group of the passengers. Passengers' preferences such as window or aisle seating, front seating are taken into accounts. A primitive example of seat assignment system of a Boeing 717 aircraft, assuming the number of passengers in a group being 1, 2 or 3, is given based on the concept.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to research the actual state of the toddler and preschooler safety seats built into the car. Method: The design was a descriptive study by questionnaire. Data were collected from August, 1, 2007 to September, 30, 2007. A total 232 toddler and preschooler parents in Seoul and Inchon. Data were analysed using SPSS WIN 12.0. Result: The study show that people who did not get a education are 86.2%. Using the child safety seats also show that 96.1% of respondents are holding in their arms, only 3.0% of respondents used them. 21.1% answered that they get on the vehicles with holding their children in their arms and 48.3% answered that they let their children alone on the seat, just 29.7% are using the child safety seats. Conclusion: To increase child safety seats configurations rate, available education is needed. For this, contents about child safety seats must be included for education leaving the hospital by nurses who work in nursery. For the consideration about child safety seats configuration rate, complement of the legal system and development of available protective equipment and economical support of the nation and the local community is needed.

Purpose: Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among children younger than 14 years old. The purposes of this study were to 1) provide a basic overview of child safety seats, 2) review car seat safety usage and misuse, 3) suggest interventions to motivate the usage of child safety seats. Method: The design was a descriptive study with literature review. Previous studies were searched of PUBMED, ProQuest and KERIS. Result: Child safety seats and automobile safety belts protect children in a crash if they are used correctly, but if a child does not fit in the restraint correctly, it can lead to injury. A child safety seat should be used until the child correctly fits into an adult seat belt. Conclusion: To improve child passenger's safety, educational, legislational and environmental enforcements are needed: educational interventions to promote use of child safety seats, strengtened legislation to mandate use of child safety seats, establishment of public acquirements.

This paper introduces experimental results of whole-body vibration exposed through the contact area between automotive seat and human body. Such vibration experiment was carried out for five automotive seats in use and four Korean individuals. Interestingly, the quantitative assessment of the ride values of the tested seats do not only enable us to judge the footnotes the Korean technology in automotive seat has left so far, but also lead to the systematic way of improving their ride quality, in addition in Korean automotive seats raised in this paper.

The ride comfort is one of the most important indices which decide the quality of automotive seats. A subjective evaluation is the general method for comfort evaluation of automotive seats. But the subjective evaluation assess the individual sensibility using questionnaire. Therefore, a need to develop methodologies to obtain objective measurements of the fatigue evaluation is evident. In an effort to monitor muscle activity during driving electromyography (EMG) was employed. In an experimental setting the subjective evaluation was conducted using questionnaire under the static conditions (8 subjects) and the fatigue was induced in muscles using EMG under the dynamic conditions (2 drivers). The resultant EMG signals were then sampled for three different muscles. In test involving 2 subjects of similar size and build, utilizing four different automotive seats, test results support the use of EMG to quantify muscular fatigue as a viable means of objective evaluation for the different automotive seats.

The safety and comfort of car seats wee studied by utilization of engineering analysis/ experiment and human engineering data. As important factors of the static seating comfort, static spring constant, body pressure distribution, driving posture were discussed. In connection with the dynamic seating comfort, vibrational characteristics of domestic car seats(natural frequencies, damping, frequency spectrum, transmission ratio)were measured and discussed. Finally, the safety of the seat was analyzed and evaluated through calculation and experiments.
