Abstract

For the purposes of relief of drivers’ working strength and spiritual stress and increase of working efficiency, this paper studies design of the metro train’s driving interface and comes up with an optimization proposal aiming. Firstly, investigation survey is conducted on drivers’ driving satisfaction; secondly, importance and use frequency of equipment are surveyed; thirdly, drivers’ driving operation processes are recorded with videos, the tracks of drivers’ operation processes are analyzed; fourthly, based on the above survey analysis, an optimization design proposal for driving interface layout is proposed, while man-machine verification of the proposal is conducted with the JACK virtual simulation technology; and finally, drivers’ overall satisfaction with the optimization proposal is investigated. As shown in the results, the optimized proposal is advantageous in rational layout, convenient operations and clear tracks of operation processes, which can help relieve drivers’ driving strength effectively and increase their satisfaction significantly.
