Backrest Motorcycle Design for Passenger with Method of Quality Function Deployment, Product Design Specification, and Anthropometry Approach

Abstract

The motorcycle is one of the favorite vehicles for the community, especially in Indonesia. Even the
motorcycle has become a means of mass transportation to support the needs of its people. Its ability to
pick up and reach locations to the corners of the city that cannot be done by other public transportation,
the price is relatively cheap and faster to the destination, and passengers also do not need to jostle with
other passengers. But the road conditions are jammed and activities all day long make them tired and feel
they need a backrest on the motorcycle. Based on the results of the questionnaire given, they need a
backrest tool on the motor. This backrest tool designed by researchers using the Quality Function
Deployment method, Product Design Specification, and the anthropometric approach. The QFD method is
to meet the needs and desires of consumers, the PDS method for tool design, and the anthropometry
approach for tool convenience when used.
