Abstract

This project is about design and ergonomics analysis of UTeM bus cockpit arrangement. Ergonomics analysis will be applied within this project to investigate why UTeM bus driver having some problems when they are driving. There are some problems happen to driver bus like lower back pain, bus cockpit space area limited and etc. This study is focusing on UTeM bus cockpit arrangement and the target user is UTeM bus driver. There are some compartments included in the bus cockpit such as steering, pedal, seat, gear lever, parking brake and instrument panel. Engineering design concept was used in this project to get the information and data that related like Pugh method and House of Quality (HOQ). Five concept of conceptual design must come out before selection design done. Each concept has been designed with various designs where the position of the gear lever and parking brake is modified while the driver's seat adjusted in various ways. The best design has been selected using the Pugh method. Concept 1 was chosen as the best concept design of cockpit arrangement. The existing and new design of bus cockpit had been drawn using CATIA and ergonomics analysis is applied to get ergonomics result from the design. Comparison is made on the design of new and existing to see if the new design more ergonomic or not. The final result for existing design is 5 over 8 and the comparison shows that the new design is more ergonomics compare with the existing design with overall final score of 3 over 8. The new design can be used in the future to build a real cockpit bus arrangement and it will minimize and prevent any injury to bus driver when driving
