Abstract

Seat is one of the important components of the vehicle and that are place for the professional driver spend most their time when operating their vehicle. This aim of this project is to improve the ergonomics design of the bus driver seat so that it will reduce bus operator injuries. The goal of ergonomics design is to create a seat that optimally adjusts to each user’s physical dimensions and optimizes the operator in a time. In the case of driver seats, the aim is to preserve the driver’s health and ability to perform a good job. The conceptual design that want to create and selected must based on the ergonomics design and analysis. This is because, when use method ergonomics analysis in the conceptual design can give the best result. The new concept is carried out based on the existing product that have now in the market. There are several concept designs have been design whether the concept can achieve the aim of the project. The best concepts that have fulfilled the requirements of bus driver seat are chosen to the final design of the project. From the analysis that has done by using RULA analysis that shown ergonomics analysis is a key factor can include how a person sits, stands or moves about in an area. This would also include the length of time for these activities. Range of motion and how humans normally move are also taken into consideration. Ergonomists try to discover what makes certain situations more stressful on the body and how they can relieve this stress. By improving the seat parameters according to those methods mentioned, the vehicle seats, such as buses’ seats, could be developed in term of ride comfort for local purposes.
