Abstract

The aim of this research is to study and comparing the current bus stop bench design in Technology Campus, UTeM according to anthropometric data collected. Also to re-design the improvement of the bus stop bench in Technology Campus that satisfies the ergonomics characteristics, if necessary, in order to improve productivity, health safety and comfort of the students in the bus stop. The three method need to be used to achieve the objective which of them are gather all the anthropometric data from 30 male and 30 female of students and measure the current bus stop, seconds is to compare the result with current bus stop and analyze the data collected by using RULA analysis and the last but not least is to design new improvements on bus stop using CATIA software. Optimizing the anthropometric data for bus stop design can be complex tasks because it will give affect the student discomfort, such as limited spaces, more than one seat in the same time in the bus stop bench and the number of design parameters which is 20 variables that must be put into consideration. This problem has recently been made much easier to solve as a result of the development of some design principles like design for clearance, design for reach and design for adjustable range. Because of the nature of the selected workstations, the three design principles need use. The significance of the findings is anthropometric data have been collect will be use as the database in Technology Campus for the futher study in ergonomics science.
