The paper is concerned with the development of a standardized dynamic evaluation process which will be applicable to specialized power consumer vehicles on which the operator rides. The standardized process will be suitable for evaluation of vehicles with specialized functions such as boats, lawnmowers, snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, golf carts, industrial vehicles, and farm equipment. The proposed method differs from existing practices, which are usually limited to employing static human engineering standards in vehicle design and testing, and generally give inadequate consideration to dynamic operating influences. The authors believe that the vehicle should be considered not only as a dynamic man-machine system, but as a dynamic man-machine system operating within a variety of dynamic environments. Only by such complete analysis will adequate safety be assured.
