Abstract: Abstract The H-point is an important reference point in the general arrangement of the design of car body, which determines the convenience and comfortableness of the driver. The referred standard in the arrangement of the H-point is the agreeable position curve in SAE J1517. The curve, however, does not apply to Chinese, so the Chinese manikin was used. In order to guarantee the comfortableness and vision, H-point position of the 5th percentile woman, 10th, 50th, 90th and 95th percentile man sitting models were adjusted, and the coordinates of points were recorded. MATLAB software was applied to process these data, so that the corresponding H-point trajectory equations were fit, and curves of the equations were plotted in the same coordinate system. The suitable H-point position regions are areas enclosed by these curves. Using CATIA, American H-point regions were calculated in the same way. Finally, the obtained two areas were compared and analyzed.
