Design & Analysis of Ergonomics for Multi-Level Coach Cab Console
For the issue of ergonomics arrangement of multi-level coach cab console, the 60 display and control apparatus on the control desk, which took important degree and usage frequency as calculated variables, were classified by using the between-groups average linkage of hierarchical cluster analysis and revealed cluster process & results by output agglomeration schedule and dendrogram; the priority classification of cluster analysis results for all devices on console were carried out with quantitative analysis by defining significance chain value; the parts selection of console was proceeded according to selection process, function, steering type and task demand of devices; on the basis of above mentioned, the 3D modeling of display and control devices layout on console was accomplished combine with human factors design principles, device layout rules, working space and visual fields partitions, then, the construing and checking of work space and visual fields were processed in accordance with the 5th percentile female and the 95th percentile male human model in Manikin library under the condition of sitting upright in front of console, the results showed that the cab console and apparatus layout completely meet human vision and work space requirements.
