Previous research has shown that today's crane cabins fail to meet the needs of a large proportion of operators. Performance and financial losses and effects on safety should not be overlooked as well.
The first aim of this survey is to model the crane cabin interior space using up-to-date crane operator anthropometric data and to compare the multivariate and univariate method anthropometric models. The second aim of the paper is to define the crane cabin interior space dimensions that enable anthropometric convenience.
To facilitate the cabin design, the anthropometric dimensions of 64 crane operators in the first sample and 19 more in the second sample were collected in Serbia. The multivariate anthropometric models, spanning 95% of the population on the basis of a set of 8 anthropometric dimensions, have been developed. The percentile method was also used on the same set of data.
The dimensions of the interior space, necessary for the accommodation of the crane operator, are 1174×1080×1865 mm. The percentiles results for the 5th and 95th model are within the obtained dimensions.
The results of this study may prove useful to crane cabin designers in eliminating anthropometric inconsistencies and improving the health of operators, but can also aid in improving the safety, performance and financial results of the companies where crane cabins operate.
先前的研究表明,如今的起重机驾驶室无法满足很大一部分操作员的需求。性能、财务损失以及对安全的影响也不应被忽视。
本次调查的首要目标是利用最新的起重机操作员人体测量数据对起重机驾驶室内部空间进行建模,并比较多变量和单变量方法人体测量模型。本文的第二个目标是确定能实现人体测量便利性的起重机驾驶室内部空间尺寸。
为便于驾驶室设计,在塞尔维亚收集了第一个样本中64名起重机操作员以及第二个样本中另外19名操作员的人体测量尺寸。基于一组8个人体测量维度开发了涵盖95%人群的多变量人体测量模型。对同一组数据也使用了百分位数法。
容纳起重机操作员所需的内部空间尺寸为1174×1080×1865毫米。第5百分位和第95百分位模型的结果在所得尺寸范围内。
本研究结果可能对起重机驾驶室设计师消除人体测量不一致性和改善操作员健康状况有用,也有助于提高使用起重机驾驶室的公司的安全性、性能和财务成果。
