Abstract
The systematic research on driver’s behavior process can be more helpful to find implicit questions in the preliminary stage and save the cost of development and testing in the later stage of the design research. Firstly, the methods of hierarchical task analysis (HTA) and Therblig analysis are selected to analysis the drivers’ behavior, which is to obtain the mapping model between driver’s behavior and forklift cab components, find the explicit/implicit problems in cab, and obtain data of behavior. Then, some suggestions for the behavior and shape optimization are proposed according to the ECRS principle. The innovative design of the cab is carried out. Finally, the usability of innovative design is verified by the comparison of behavior data and gesture analysis. Three steps of engineering vehicle cab’s shape design method based on behavior analysis are proposed: behavior analysis, innovative design and usability verification, which can systematically guide to current engineering vehicle cab shape design as a supplementary research method compare with the traditional ergonomic analysis.
