Course description: Development of ergonomics. The use of statistics in ergonomics. Physiological Anthropology. Anthropometry. Physiological-anthropological analysis of driving comfort. Determination of segmental masses of humans. Determining the position of the body center of gravity. Sensory system of humans. Energy required for working. Driver workload. Impact of traffic noise to the performance and workload of the drivers. Psychological components of transport ergonomics. Analysis of disturbance factors from the traffic and working environment. Ergonomic design of passenger space in vehicles. Ergo-assessment of transport sub-processes: handling with passengers and/or baggage. Ergo-assessment of workplace at the counter and workplace with computer. Ergo-assessment of traffic and working environment of drivers of different vehicles. The driver from the perspective of psychology. Human factors in driving. Visual factors in driving. Perception of road in driving. Human error in behaviour in traffic. Dynamic interface 'task requirement - driver´s capability'. Total human reaction time in cognitive-motoric tasks (PRT).
