RAMSIS Excellence Award presentation

At this year’s RAMSIS User Conference (RUC), Human Solutions once again presented the RAMSIS Excellence Award to young scientists for their outstanding scientific work in ergonomics and vehicle interior design.

This year, two RAMSIS Excellence Awards were presented for master’s theses, each endowed with prize money of €500. Steffen Schynoll received the award for his thesis entitled, the “Evaluation of a Variable Ergonomics Test Bench for Trucks”, which he compiled in the Ergonomics Department at the Technical University of Munich. Luka Thaler from the Koblenz University of Applied Sciences (Rhein-Ahr Campus Remagen) received the award for his work entitled, “Spinal column and pelvis position in the driving position of passenger cars – a development of anthropometric and cross-vehicle posture schemes for computer-aided occupant simulation.” This thesis completed his studies in sports medicine technology.

The focus at the RUC is on the exchange of information about working with RAMSIS. Ergonomics experts from companies report on their projects and Human Solutions employees present their latest developments, all of which adapt the digital manikin to master an increasing number of new requirements. The RAMSIS Excellence Award combines research and practice in the field of ergonomics and shows the tasks with which university students are confronted.
