title: Experimental study on fist-ellipse for Chinese auto drivers.
abstract: Sub-workspaces and the fist-ellipse of auto drivers are new concepts in the fields of ergonomics and automotive engineering. The paper introduces measurement, generation, application and location of the 95th percentile fist-ellipse (i.e., 95th sub-workspace for gearshift) for Chinese car drivers. It is a rigorous scientific approach to locate gearshift handles in conventional motor vehicles or locate a central control handle sidestick in a recent non-steering wheel conceptual car, expanding the concepts of the design tool contours of SAE.
