Abstract

Ergonomics is a critical factor in the design of transportation vehicles, as it can significantly impact comfort, safety, and overall user experience. This study aims to conduct a systematic review of the current literature on the topic of ergonomics in transportation vehicles and to perform an in-depth RAMSIS analysis of the design optimization process. The study will explore the various factors driving the importance of ergonomics in transportation vehicles and the initiatives being undertaken to address this challenge. The review will also examine the role of human factors and ergonomics (HFE) and human-computer interaction (HCI) communities in developing user-centered design methodologies, advanced interfaces, and simulation tools for transportation systems. Furthermore, the study will analyze the use of RAMSIS software in evaluating the ergonomics of transportation vehicle designs and optimizing the design process for enhanced comfort and safety. The systematic review will be based on a comprehensive search of relevant databases and will include both qualitative and quantitative studies. The study findings will provide valuable insights into the current state of research on ergonomics in transportation vehicles and will highlight the importance of design optimization for enhancing comfort and safety.
