FOREWORD

This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Automotive Vehicles, Testing and Performance Evaluation Sectional Committee had been approved by the Transport Engineering Division Council.

This standard is in entire agreement with IS0 7397-l : 1993 ‘Passenger cars - Verification of driver’s direct field of view : Part 1 Vehicle positioning for static measurement. Reference has also been made to EEC directive 77/649 Field of vision of motor vehicle drivers.

The Committee responsible for the preparation of fhis standard is given in Annex A.

DIRECT FIELD OF VIEW

PART 1 VEHICLE POSITIONING FOR STATIC MEASUREMENT

1 SCOPE

This standard (Part 1) prescribes the initial pro- cedure for positioning of a passenger car relative to a three-dimensional reference system for the purposes of static measurements on the vehicle.

It enables verification of the driver’s forward 180” field of view which is dealt with in IS 14346 (Part 2) : 1996. However, the procedure shown may also be followed for checking other aspects of vehicle design.

2 Fiducial marks are sometimes referred to as ‘primary reference marks’.

3.2 -Direct Field of View

View capable of being seen by the driver without the aid of mirrors.
