摘要

由于人类的人体测量差异，选择单一的设计来取悦客户可能并不总是可能的，其中混合设计可以受益。利用可调节性，我们展示了我们开发新型叉车靠背的方法，以适应各种车身尺寸的驾驶员。进行了实地和实验室评估，以评估和改进设计。我们的研究结果表明，新的设计可以在更长的时间内提供更好的舒适度。这项研究揭示了人为因素专业人员考虑类似工业车辆驾驶室内部可调节性的可能性，尤其是靠背和座椅。

Designing a New Forklift Backrest: Role of Adjustability in Improving Operator Comfort

Selection of a single design to delight customers may not be always possible due to the anthropometric differences in humans, wherein a hybrid design can benefit. Using adjustability, we demonstrate our approach for developing a novel forklift backrest to accommodate drivers with a wide range of body sizes. Field and laboratory evaluations were conducted to assess and improve the design. Our results indicated that the new design could provide improved comfort for longer durations. This study reveals the possibilities for human factors professionals to consider adjustability in vehicle operator compartment interiors, especially backrests and seating, of similar industrial vehicles.

期刊介绍： Ergonomics in Design: The Quarterly of Human Factors Applications is intended to serve the needs of practicing human factors/ergonomics professionals who are concerned with the usability of products, systems, tools, and environments. It provides up-to-date demonstrations of the importance of HF/E principles in design and implementation. Articles, case studies, anecdotes, debates, and interviews focus on the way in which HF/E research and methods are applied in the design, development, prototyping, test and evaluation, training, and manufacturing processes of a product or system.
