School Bus System Redesign Based on Ergonomics Principles - The example of Huazhong University of Science and Technology

The optimization design of the school bus system of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, based on ergonomics, is proposed to adapt to the wave of intelligent development in the information era and enhance safety, efficiency, and comfort. In this design, questionnaire interview, literature search and competition product analysis are used to deeply understand the pain points of the current situation, the development status of public transport system and references of school bus user groups and so on, which determined the school bus system’s function design, the CMF design, the product technology and the modelling key point. This design used Global Positioning System, smart touch screen and other technologies, as well as combined the knowledge of ergonomics and perceptual engineering. After the usability test of the product, the school bus user groups thought that the design had a certain effect.
