In order to improve the human engineering properties for the racing wheelchair, using the CATIA Human Engineering Analysis module, this paper established the human body 3-D model, analyzed the eligibility of the hold and the extend for the racing wheelchair, analyzed and evaluated the comfort of three typical sports postures of human body. The general evaluation results accorded with the human body kinematic theory, and the upper limb comfort gradually became better, in a movement cycle of the upper limbs driving the wheelchair.

The U.S. Navy is currently developing a Battle Group Tactical Trainer (BGTT) which provides experiential war gaming exercises to Naval Officers engaged in tactical decision making and planning courses. A major design goal for the program is to simplify the man-computer interface such that players and controllers with little or no computer training can interact extensively with the BGTT data base. One step in the design process was to conduct a human engineering analysis of the BGTT's objectives, system functions, information flow, information processing requirements and user requirements and to make hardware and software recommendations that would assist in the achievement of this goal. This paper discusses the recommended software features required to simplify operator interface with the training system.

A human factors evaluation of the P-3C aircraft was conducted to determine the workload implications resulting from design modifications at the sensor and tactical operator stations. The primary objectives of the evaluation were: (a) to determine if equipment and software design changes had significantly influenced the workload of the operators and (b) to determine if the design changes resulted in improved system performance. To aid in conducting this analysis a method known as the Function Description Inventory (FDI) was used. This method requires a series of investigations analyzing the selected operational functions of specific P-3C crew members, with an essential part involving the determination of roles, duties, and tasks performed by the crew members. Next, crew members' judgments were compiled on how important these roles, duties, and tasks were for mission success, how frequently they were performed on a typical mission, how difficult were the activities for the typical operator, and finally, how effective were the systems in accomplishing these operational functions. After combining the FDI results with the results of traditional human engineering analysis, it was concluded that there were substantial workload and system effectiveness changes at all three stations.

Human Factors Analysis

Human Factors practicioners can influence and support the development process of trainers only if their recommendations are accepted and implemented. This acceptance can be enhanced by using a systematic analysis process which leads to the human factors recommendations. An initial human factors analysis is described herein which supported other front-end analyses, leading to a functonal description for the Naval Battle Group Tactical Trainer.
