Anthropometric criteria for the design of tractor cabs and protection frames / H. Hsiao... [et al.]

Improved human - tractor interface designs, such as well-accommodated operator enclouses (i.e. cabs and protection frames) can enhance operator productivity, comfort and safety. This study investigated farm-worker anthropometry and determined the critical anthropometric measures and 3-D feature envelopes of body landmarks for the design of tractor operator enclosures. One hundred agriculture workers participated in the study
