The understanding on driving habit is the essential foundation for human-machine interface design of truck cab. In order to obtain the truck driver’s characteristics and driving habits, an investigation was made on Chinese truck driver. The methods of one to one discussion and driving behaviour record were used in the investigation. Through the study, the characteristics of Chinese truck driver user group, driving schedule and behaviour habits, and the main factors affecting the current driving comfort were obtained. It is conluded that the primary practitioners of truck driving in China were young males. The majority of truck driving tasks were carried out in the daytime with long hours driving. Turck drivers had certain behaviour habits, such as steering wheel gripping mode and the usage of foot pedal. The improvement on devices ergonomics were expected, including seat size and back shape, steering wheel grip size, seat belt fixed position, mirrors adjustment, foot pedal, etc. The results were helpful for understanding Chinese truck driver group features and needs, as well as providing references for design of the truck cab. |
