Military Vehicle Dashboard Design Using Semantics Method in Cognitive Ergonomics Framework

Indonesia requires innovation and revitalization for the military vehicles that match the performance of the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) in securing the sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia. Based on this fact, the need for good vehicle use, effective and efficient is necessary, by the fact the Indonesian military vehicles is commonly old that have limited function and ergonomics. The new vehicle purchased from abroad is also less fit for the soldier’s ergonomic profile. The study aimed to design one of the main parts that are considered most representative of a military vehicle to fit between the vehicle function and the profile of soldiers. This study aims to design an instrument Human-Machine Interface in the form of a dashboard with semantic methods and evaluated on a military vehicle with a virtual method in order to maximize the functions of the Human-Machine Interaction in the vehicle in order to improve the performance of the military vehicles that will maximize the ability of the military in using their main combat tools
