Study on the control device layout of truck cockpit based on user experience

Abstract

The space layout design of control actuators is very important for the ergonomic design of automobile cockpit. This study take truck cockpit as the research object, and designed a truck cockpit model as the test platform. Then, recruited 75 seasoned truck drivers as subjects, and evaluated the space layout of control actuators according to the subjective feelings of subjects. Finally, the most comfortable angles and position of control units were obtained. Based on the experimental results, the recommended range of cockpit control device layout is given. The results of this study can provide a reference for the design of truck cockpit.
