Human factors and ergonomics design handbook / Barry Tillman [and four others]

Rev. ed. of: Human factors design handbook / Wesley E. Woodson, Barry Tillman, Peggy Tillman. 2nd ed. c1992.

Includes index.

As a human factors engineer, Barry Tillman has worked directly with designers, engineering drawings, and software developers to achieve safer and more cost-effective human-system interfaces. Barry has been involved with a broad range of systems including coal mining equipment, military vehicles, ships, manufacturing equipment, and space habitats. He has developed human factors analytical tools and written design standards for the military, NASA, and shipping industry. He has also developed and taught numerous human factors engineering and ergonomic courses.

Master the art of user-centric planning and design This thoroughly revised guide offers complete coverage of the latest trends and advances in ergonomics and psychology and lays out practical applications for today's designers. Written by a team of experts,Human Factors and Ergonomics Design Handbook, Third Edition, shows how to maximize functionality while reducing injuries and minimizing the impact on physical and psychological health. The ubiquitous use of smartphones, tablets, and other high-tech equipment is discussed in full detail. New chapters explain medical systems, robotics, handheld devices, cognitive workload, and the motion environment. Inside, you'll find human-friendly design techniques for: Architecture, transportation, and industrial systems Military, space, communications, agriculture, and consumer product systems Doors, windows, hatches, and equipment closures Parking, walkways, hallways, catwalks, and sidewalks Ramps, stairs, elevators, escalators, and moving walkways Bathrooms, restrooms, locker rooms, bedrooms, and berthing subsystems Kitchens, galleys, dining rooms, and food service facilities Offices, auditoriums, theaters, sports facilities, and special workplaces Lighting and sound systems, furniture, and appliances Visual and auditory displays, computer controls, fasteners, and tools
The third edition of this definitive handbook offers every aspect of updated information on ergonomics and human psychology for product designers. Written by an expert in the field, Human Factors and Ergonomics Design Handbook , Third Edition incorporates latest findings and trends of ergonomics in designing human-friendly products, such as handheld computers, robotics, medical devices, and military/space products to maximize the device functionalities and minimize the negative influence to the human body/mind. Since the 1992 publication of the second edition, there have been major technological developments which tremendously influence our daily use of electronics devices, and industrial and medical usage of high-tech equipment. There also have been continuous discovery of human factors (i.e. how humans interface with equipment and devices) and cognitive workload. This in-depth guide covers these latest developments. 500 illustrations Newly added chapters cover medical systems, robotics, small hand-held electronic devices, cognitive workload, and motion environment Systematic approaches separating human factors into macro, mezzo, and micro environments High-tech, high-demand product design examples are included
