The auto industry is facing tough competition and severe economic
constraints. Their products need to be designed "right the first
time" with the right combinations of features that not only satisfy
the customers but continually please and delight them by providing
increased functionality, comfort, convenience, safety, and
craftsmanship. Based on the author's forty plus years of experience
as a human factors researcher, engineer, manager, and teacher who
has conducted numerous studies and analyses, Ergonomics in the
Automotive Design Process covers the entire range of ergonomics
issues involved in designing a car or truck and provides evaluation
techniques to avoid costly mistakes and assure high customer
satisfaction. The book begins with the definitions and goals of
ergonomics, historic background, and ergonomics approaches. It
covers human characteristics, capabilities, and limitations
considered in vehicle design in key areas such as anthropometry,
biomechanics, and human information processing. It then examines
how the driver and the occupants are positioned in the vehicle
space and how package drawings and/or computer-aided design models
are created from key vehicle dimensions used in the automobile
industry. The author describes design tools used in the industry
for occupant packaging, driver vision, and applications of other
psychophysical methods. He covers important driver information
processing concepts and models and driver error categories to
understand key considerations and principles used in designing
controls, displays, and their usages, including current issues
related to driver workload and driver distractions. The author has
included only the topics and materials that he found to be useful
in designing car and truck products and concentrated on the
ergonomic issues generally discussed in the automotive design
studios and product development teams. He distills the information
needed to be a member of an automotive product development team and
create an ergonomically superior vehicle.
