DYNAMIC HUMAN ENGINEERING EVALUATION OF THE ARMORED PERSONNEL CARRIERS T113 AND T117

Abstract

This evaluation was conducted to uncover human engineering design deficiencies and to note areas in which the vehicles proved adequate from a human engineering standpoint. Findings indicated necessity for more intensive investigation. Primary investigation was done in: (1) sound measurement and analysis within vehicles with full complement of personnel; (2) effects of noise on audition, communication, and performance; (3) effects of vehicle configuration and design on crew performance, safety, and comfort; (4) crew's opinion on 1, 2, and 3 above.
