Automotive design continues to evolve at a pace. As electric cars become ever more commonplace on the roads to the advent of driverless vehicles, understanding the ergonomics behind automotive engineering becomes ever more paramount. Vehicle attributes must be considered early during the new vehicle development program by coordinated work of multi-disciplinary teams to begin creating vehicle specifications.
In this two-volume set of Ergonomics in the Automotive Design Process, Vivek D. Bhise covers the need-to-know fundamentals and advanced-level discussions and arguments as to what makes an ergonomically sound vehicle. The books cover the entire range of ergonomics issues involved in designing a car or truck and offer evaluation techniques to avoid costly mistakes and assure high customer satisfaction. Through 26 interesting chapters, vehicle design and the attributes of vehicle handling, appearance, safety and security, infotainment, noise and vibrations, emissions, costs and benefits, process compatibility, driver performance, electric vehicles (EVs), interfaces and new technology are considered in the context of ergonomics. Evaluation and measurement are covered in essential detail and the title has been brought right up to date with new chapters on engineering design during automotive product development, vehicle evaluation, verification and validation and product liability litigations and ergonomic considerations. This book will allow the reader to develop a more comprehensive knowledge of issues facing the developers of automotive products and delivers methods to manage communication, coordination and integration processes. The reader will develop a knowledge of future in-vehicle devices that are easy to program and use, safe, cheap to manufacture and assemble and are eco-friendly.
Written by an expert author with over forty years of experience in automotive design, these volumes are designed for students and practitioners of ergonomics, human factors, automotive design, civil engineering, product design, work design and mechanical engineering.
