Motor vehicle main dimensions measurement method
1 Scope
This Standard specifies motor vehicle main dimensions measurement method.
The external dimensions and luggage/ cargo dimensions measurement
methods that are specified in this Standard are applicable to M and N vehicles;
other vehicles can implement by reference.
The internal dimensions measurement methods that are specified in this
Standard are applicable to M1 vehicles; other vehicles can implement by
reference.

3 Terms and definitions
Terms and definitions determined by GB 1589, GB/T 3730.2, GB/T 3730.3-1992,
GB/T 29120-2012, and the following ones are applicable to this document. For
ease of use, some of the terms and definitions in GB/T 29120-2012 are
repeated below.
3.1 Vehicle coordinate system
In HPM, the seat is located at the ride base point that is specified by the
manufacturer. When HPM uses the appropriate leg length, measure the H-point
at the hinge center of its torso line and thigh bar centerline. In HPM-II, the seat
is located at the ride base point that is specified by the manufacturer. When
HPM-II adopts a proper posture, measure the H-point at the hinge center point
of its seat plate assembly and back plate assembly.
[GB/T 29120-2012, Definition 3.3.2]
3.2.3 R-point
The designed H-point position that is set by the manufacturer, which is
specifically designated as the R-point or SgRP and meets all the following
requirements:
a) the basic base point that is used to establish passenger adjustment tools
and dimensions;
b) simulate the hinge center position of the human torso and thigh;
c) have a coordinate that is established relative to the structure of the
designed vehicle;
d) establish the rear end of each designated seating position or the H-point
of the normal driving and seating positions that are designated by the
manufacturer, which takes into account all the adjustment states of the
seat, including horizontal, vertical and tilt, but does not include seat
movement that is used for abnormal driving or seating purposes.
3.2.4 H-point travel path
All possible positions of H-point under all adjustment states (including horizontal,
vertical and tilt) of the specified seating position.
[GB/T 29120-2012, Definition 3.9]
3.2.5 Three-dimensional H-point machine; HPM
The device that is used to measure the actual H-point and the actual torso angle
on a vehicle.
[GB/T 29120-2012, Definition 3.1]
3.2.6 Three-dimensional H-point machine-II; HPM-II
The new SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) H-point machine that is used
to more accurately determine the actual H-point, actual torso angle and other
parameter values on a vehicle. The main change of HPM-II is the improved
3.3.3 Thigh line
In the Y-plane, the line that connects the K-point to the H-point on the H-point
measurement machine, as shown in Figure 2.
3.3.4 Torso line
In HPM, the centerline of the probe stick when the head-space probe sticks
back to the HPM back plane.
In HPM-II, the straight line that passes through the H-point and the chest sliding
hinge axis, as shown in Figure 2.
Note: In HPM, the torso line crosses the H-point and is parallel to the flat part
of the back plate that determines the torso angle.
[GB/T 29120-2012, Definition 3.4]
3.3.5 Ankle point
The hinge point of the footwear and the leg on the H-point measurement
machine, as shown in Figure 2.
3.3.6 Heel of shoe; HOS
When the passenger's seat is located at the R-point, the intersection OF the
right side of the H-point measurement machine AND the pressed floor covering
or other support surface of the heel, as shown in Figure 2.
3.3.7 Ball of foot; BOF
On the bottom of shoe, the point on the lateral centerline of the shoe that is 203
mm away from HOS, as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 4 -- Short-coupled seating interference and FRP positions
3.3.15 Steering wheel center
When the front wheels are straight forward, the intersection of the upper surface
of the steering wheel rim and the centerline of the steering column.
3.3.16 Center line of occupant
Y-coordinate plane for each designated seating position R-point.
Note: For single-seat, it generally refers to the center plane of the seat. For
bench seat, the center line of occupant is specified by the manufacturer.
3.4 Seat layout types
3.4.1 Long-coupled seating
When the front row of seats is in the designed position and the H-point
measurement machine is located on the left outer seat in the rear row, the two
consecutive two rows of seats (from the first row to second row, or from the
second row to third row, etc.) whose continuous distance in the X-axis direction
from the front row of seats is sufficient to place the H-point measurement
machine whose ankle angle is greater than 130°.
3.4.2 Standard-coupled seating
When the front row of seats is in the designed position and the H-point
measurement machine is located on the left outer seat in the rear row, the two
consecutive two rows of seats (from the first row to second row, or from the
second row to third row, etc.) whose continuous distance in the X-axis direction
from the front row of seats is sufficient to place the H-point measurement
machine whose ankle angle is not greater than 130°.
3.4.3 Short-coupled seating
When the front row of seats is in the designed position and the H-point
measurement machine is located on the left outer seat in the rear row, the
consecutive two rows of seats that interfere with the front-seat trim or seat
structure when the shoe or leg model of the H-point measurement m...
