- Abstract
- This report culminates a feasibility study effort aimed at assessing the needs of industry, government and the research community for standard ergomonics (human factors) data, proposing a system concept and preliminary plan for the development and operation of a standard ergonomics reference data system (SERDS) and assessing the scientific and technical challenges to be met in system implementation. The data base proposed here would provide, for the first time, a single point of access to reliable, current anthropometric, behavioral and physiological data for application to technology design. Critically evaluated numeric data, standardization and the conduct of a National Ergonomics Survey are the major focal points of the system concept.
