Abstract

This paper discusses the interior customisation of two Police Fast Response Cars (FRCs), namely Volvo V70 Station Wagon and Mitsubishi Space Wagon, from an ergonomic design perspective. Customisation of the front areas addressed the interaction among the electronic communication devices, front-passenger and driver, whereas the retrieval and storage of equipment and tools were explored in the rear interiors. Concerning the rear interior space, the Mitsubishi performed better than the Volvo. A three-layered design improved accessibility of equipment. The installation of on-board computer facilities, secure placement under extreme driving conditions was suggested near the centre console at the front passenger seat.
