Abstract

Ergonomic design of heavy truck cabs has a significant impact on road safety and driver health. In the design phase of the cab, a full understanding of the driver’s driving posture and operating habits is the necessary foundation for the human-machine interface design and the requisite guarantee of a good driving experience. However, at present, in the design of heavy truck cabs in China, insufficient consideration is given to the driving habits of drivers, resulting in poor ergonomics and user experience complaint. Through interviews and questionnaire surveys with heavy truck drivers with the static method of significance testing, this article investigated and analyzed the characteristics of professional truck drivers’ driving postures and the frequency of operating actions which provides improvements suggestion to the ergonomic design and the driving experience of the truck.
