Italian icon or luxury limousine Made in Germany, safe Scandinavian or fresh French - in the automotive industry the country of origin still automatically creates certain expectations on the part of the buyer. The manufacturer deliberately uses country-stereotypes and clichés to sell his product to the consumer - but in spite of these image campaigns, it's the automotive industry which has indeed proven to be the shining example of a globalized market: internationally-active concerns service a wide range of target groups all over the world. Nowadays, vehicle finishing seldom takes place in the country of origin.

The demands of potential customers on vehicles increase along with internationalization. Gone are the days when defect-prone steering column gear shifts or uncomfortable back seats could be passed off as charming design features or when you would do without perfectly-fitting seat belts just to have that distinctive “Southern European attitude to life". Cars should of course be different from one another in design and image, but as far as safety and ergonomics are concerned, almost identical standards are in place the world over.

Human Solutions has developed various solutions especially for the automotive industry. These solutions create the basic requirements for successful international marketing even at the early stages of construction: RAMSIS is the standard solution for the ergonomic design of vehicle interiors. More than 70% of all car manufacturers worldwide now use RAMSIS.

RAMSIS enables the realistic rendering of international body measurement data and efficient analyses of visibility, comfort and ergonomics. Around 90 real, statistically supported physique types are saved in an anthropometric database.

RAMSIS is also available as an industrial segment solution for special vehicles (RAMSIS Industrial Vehicles) and the aircraft industry (RAMSIS Aircraft). RAMSIS Electronic Belt Fit test device enables the simulation of belt run. ANTHROSCAN is yet another Human Solutions software product that is used in the automotive industry - used in serial measurement procedures, this software acquires the body measurements of large groups of people for statistical purposes.
