Article Preview

Abstract:

The automobile is a complex man-machine-environment system and its quality safety is extensively influenced by the ergonomic factors. In this paper, the judging criterion for the ergonomic safety factors in the automobile recall cases was proposed based on the ergonomics theory. The ergonomic factors for the design and manufacture defects of automobile were analyzed by taking the automobile recall cases in China in 2012 for example. At last, some suggestions were put forward for removing the automobile defects and improving the design and manufacture of automobiles specific to the ergonomic defects of safety belt, seats, airbag and other typical components.
