“ It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them. ”

Bowers-Carnahan, F. Renae, Kinghorn, Rhonda, Bittner, Alvah, Reynolds, Syd, Feyer, Anne-Marie, Williamson, Ann M. and Freund, Deborah M. (1993): Issues in Heavy Vehicles. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 37th Annual Meeting 1993. p. 579.

“The heavy vehicle industry includes medium-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks, and buses. Vehicle size, driver location relative to the road, and duration of time in the vehicle distinguish heavy vehicles from the passenger car and light truck industry. During the past decade, the industry has been changing. Technological advances, as well as political, economic, and cultural forces, have combined to create a new environment. The driver has become more important in this new environment. A driver shortage and safety issues have heightened the interest in human factors and ergonomics in the heavy vehicle industry.”

Reynolds, S. H. and Bowers-Carnahan, F. Renae (1993): Vertical Eye Positions in Heavy Trucks. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 37th Annual Meeting 1993. pp. 585-589.

“In the truck industry, the driver's eye location is represented by an ellipse. The specific ellipse used is defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and is called an "eyellipse." A preliminary study investigated whether an observed difference between the design eyellipse and the actual driver eye positions is significant. A sample of five drivers was selected based on anthropometric dimensions. The eye positions of the drivers were measured in a static production vehicle. The results indicated that the sample population mean was significantly higher (at the {alpha} = 0.01 level) than the design eyellipse centroid. Several potential causes for the demonstrated difference are discussed. Further studies should be conducted to verify the results of this study to determine whether the eyellipse equations or procedure need to be modified.”
