The purpose of a seat suspension system are attempt to isolate vehicle vibration excitations from being transmitted to the drivers and to improve passenger comfort. Traditional seat suspension systems are composed of 2-DOF, that is springs and viscous dampers. This paper, presents a 7-DOF vehicle's driver model with seat suspension system. A genetic algorithm is applied to search for the optimal parameters of the seat in order to minimize seat suspension deflection and driver's body acceleration to achieve the best comfort of the driver. The simulation results were compared with the ones of the passive suspensions through step and sinusoidal excitation of the seat suspension system for the currently used suspension systems. The optimum design parameters of the suspension systems obtained are k(se) =5014.1 N/m and c(se) =55.5 N.s/m in case of sinusoidal input and k(se) =42934 N/m and c(se) =50 N.s/m in case of step input, respectively.
