Preliminary Anthropometric Specification for Land Vehicles

Abstract

The Australian Defence Force (ADF) will be acquiring a number of new vehicles in the near future. When acquiring a new vehicle numerous factors must be considered when determining the most suitable option for the ADF. One very important consideration is the human machine interface. Using the anthropometric data gathered on male personnel based at Robertson Barracks, Darwin, in 2010 an anthropometric specification which describes the "hard to fit" members of the Army population has been developed. This specification can be used to inform the acquisition of new vehicles or the upgrading of existing vehicles.
