Objectives
The objective of the IEA technical committee on anthropometry is to improve the understanding of anthropometry and its applications. We try to achieve this goal through stimulation of high-quality anthropometric surveys, development of anthropometric tools and dissemination of knowledge and data.
Structure
The IEA technical committee consists of two co-chairs (Daisy Veitch and Bruce Bradtmiller) and a list of the above mentioned current members. The committee will meet each 3years during each IEA conference.
This TC was created by WEAR (World Engineering Anthropometry Resource) in 2007. See www.wearanthro.com for further information.
You can join the TC Anthropometry too if you are interested in anthropometry and a member of a National Ergonomics Society. Please send an email to daisy@sharpdummies.com.au to be added to the email list IEA-TC-Anthro@nic.surfnet.nl
In addition the IEA Technical Committee Anthropometry has its own LinkedIn group. Please send a connection request to daisy@sharpdummies.com.au to join our online discussions.
To implement the above objectives, this TC could create Working Groups depending on the meeting in Australia in 2015.
Idea’s for Working Groups
Standards and Anthropometry
This group is concerned with coordinating and synchronizing with the work of the ISO and the national standard committees
Digital Human Models and Anthropometry
This group coordinates and stimulates the work that is presented at the SAE Digital Human Modelling Conferences and the IEA Conferences
