U.S. Truck Driver Anthropometric Study and Multivariate Anthropometric Models for Cab Designs
OBJECTIVE This study presents data from a large-scale anthropometric study of U.S. truck drivers and the multivariate anthropometric models developed for the design of next-generation truck cabs. BACKGROUND Up-to-date anthropometric information of the U.S. truck driver population is needed for the design of safe and ergonomically efficient truck cabs. METHOD We collected 35 anthropometric d...
متن کاملOptimizing Truck Cab Layout for Driver Accommodation
One important source of variability in the performance and success of products designed for use by people is the people themselves. In many cases, the acceptability of the design is affected more by the variability in the human users than by the variability attributable to the hardware from which the product is constructed. Designing for human variability as an inherent part of the product opti...
متن کاملStatic Anthropometric Characteristics of Bangladeshi Vehicle Driver: A Case Study
Background. Inappropriate design of sitting furniture and working equipment causes the serious musculoskeletal injuries and various pains as well as reducing working efficiency. Uncomfortable sitting posture in prolonged driving in Bangladesh is an issue to be solved immediately. Therefore, anthropometric databank of user population is significantly essential for the suitable dimensional design...
متن کاملAnthropometric models of children
The objective of the work presented in this paper is to create a complete database of Anthropometric Models of Children, which can not only describe the anthropometric attributes of the individuals, but the functional abilities and growth behaviors as well. This work also includes a prototype system, which is being used during an assessment session to automatically gather the anthropometric and...
متن کاملVirtual Anthropometric Human Models for Safety
The basic ROBBY family models [3] developed on the PAM computational platform are used as a reference set (see Fig. 1). The models consist of rigid bodies separated into segments connected by biomechanical joints and active muscles [6]. A large set of statistical data based on around 13.000 specimens previously measured [1] has been used. The data concerns major anthropometric dimensions for ma...
