Improved Seat, Console, and Workplace Design: Annotated Bibliography, Integration of the Literature, Accommodation Model, and Seated Operator Reach Profiles

Abstract

This report was prepared with the objective of integrating pertinent information regarding seat, console, and workplace design. The four sections include: 1 An annotated bibliography about seating, console, and workplace designs. Each relevant publication is summarized to reflect a category, author, title, methodology, rationale, significant results, conclusions, and recommendations; 2 Integration of the seat, console, and workplace design. The detailed aspects of these components and their relationship to each other in making up the workplace are discussed; 3 A workplace-accommodated percentage evaluation model. A model and preliminary results are presented to show the percentage excluded from a seat/console design, given the percentage excluded based on individual dimensions; and 4 Reach profiles for restrained and unrestrained males and females. Reach envelope data and new methodologies for collecting data are presented, and are compared with existing reach data.
