Method for the automatic adjustment of a cockpit inside a road vehicle and relative road vehicle

A method for the automatic adjustment of a cockpit (5) inside a road vehicle (1) driven by a driver (DR);

• the method comprises:
• determining anthropometric data specific to the driver (DR) via at least one sensor device comprising a camera, wherein the camera is configured on the road vehicle to capture an entire image of the driver;
• processing, based on the anthropometric data, an ergonomic position (EP) of a model (M) of the driver (DR) sitting on board the road vehicle (1);
• processing, based on the ergonomic position (EP) of the model (M), an optimal configuration of the cockpit (5) so that, in use, the driver (DR) is in the ergonomic position (EP) determined by model (M);
• operating a plurality of actuator systems (6, 7, 9-11, 13-15) to adjust a plurality of movable elements of the cockpit (5) and cause the cockpit (5) to reach the optimal configuration (OC);
• wherein the anthropometric data includes at least one three-dimensional skeletal model of the driver (DR) generated by the camera, the skeletal model comprising joint positions and limb lengths of the driver,
• wherein the ergonomic position (EP) is determined by calculating a plurality of comfort angles associated with the driver's joint positions, including at least an ankle angle, a hip angle, and an elbow angle, and comparing the calculated comfort angles to predefined ergonomic thresholds,
• wherein the optimal configuration (OC) of the cockpit (5) is determined by associating the ergonomic position (EP) with predefined visibility parameters including
• a minimum ground visibility (VS′);
• a minimum visibility (VS″) of a control panel (18) fitted on board a dashboard of the road vehicle (1);
• and
• wherein the plurality of actuator systems are configured to adjust at least a seat height, seat tilt, steering wheel position, and rear-view mirror orientation based on the optimal configuration (OC).
