The Australian Army is immersed in the design and evaluation of vehicle workstations
and the results from this study will provide essential information about the extent to
which terrain-induced ride motion adversely affects vehicle occupantsʼ ability to quickly
and accurately complete reaching tasks. The simulation models based on this research
will enable the Australian Army and commercial vehicle industries, to evaluate current
and future vehicle designs of controls and displays, as well as seating and suspensions
systems. This knowledge will enable designers to test and evaluate designs that
mitigate effects of vibration before spending limited capital towards the completed
vehicle design.
