Computer supported visualization of ergonomic guidelines

• This study attempts to discover how ergonomic guidelines should be visualized in order to make it easier and more interesting to find and interpret the guidelines throughout the construction process. A prototype visualizing ergonomic guidelines at the intranet has been developed and evaluated at a company that produces cars for the global market. The results shows that the visualization of ergonomic guidelines should preferably be based on a picture of the physical car with hyperlinked segments easy to relate to a group of guidelines or a specific guideline. A specific ergonomic guideline should preferably have measurements related to pictures of car objects and human body parts.
