Abstract
This paper introduces a method for assessing the design of operating systems as part of cognitive ergonomics, as well as a method for assessing operator movements and gripping areas as part of physical ergonomics. Both methods can be used in the development of a cab or for comparative analysis of cabs. The innovative character of the methods is to establish a non-subject based evaluation process that provides more objective and comparable results across different examinations. The method of evaluating operating systems builds on the ergonomic principles of expectation conformity and movement compatibility. The motion capturing method for analyzing and evaluating gripping areas and movements uses the comfort angle specifications of the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV).
