In order to improve the coordination between human and agricultural machinery, taking Rosa roxburghii picking machine as an example, a virtual design method based on human-machine-environment system, combined with three-dimensional digital simulation technology and human skeleton biology and other disciplines is proposed. Three-dimensional parametric modeling of Rosa roxburghii picking machine is carried out by using three-dimensional engineering software. In JACK simulation software, a digital human body model is created to analyse the comfort, accessibility and visibility of the operator. The coordination degree of agricultural machinery design in the human-machine-environment system can be judged in advance, and targeted optimization design can be carried out to achieve the purpose of improving the coordination between human and machinery in the human-machine-environment system and reduce the accident rate. This method shortens the research and development cycle of agricultural machinery and provides a reference for humanized design of agricultural machinery design.

“…The development and application of various measures aiming to improve drivers' indirect vision put increased demands on their users (particularly truck drivers). It is still not obvious what strategies are used by truck drivers to establish situational awareness of road users' location in close proximity to their truck, what is the actual task time and what are the mirror use strategies [61]. In addition, the interaction between certain cognitive truck drivers' tasks and reliance on their indirect vision to detect cyclists has not been examined [38].…”

“…The truck's design determines the driver's direct vision; therefore, the variability of design features which contribute to the size of blind spots should be examined [61]. The components of optimum cab design should be defined in particular, [38] and the direct vision standards for use by vehicle manufacturers developed [55].…”

The growing numbers of cyclists either injured or killed in accidents caused by trucks have been generally regarded as a safety problem since the 1980s (McCarthy & Gilbert, Accident Analysis & Prevention 28:275-279, 1996). Indeed, in several countries, cyclists killed by a truck represent almost 30% of all cycling fatalities (Pokorny et al., Transportation Research Procedia, 25, 2017). Whilst increasing attention has been paid to this topic by road safety researchers, a scoping review of the current research has been lacking. The aim of this paper is therefore to present a scoping review of the research literature related specifically to truck-bicycle safety, including both safety analysis and measures. Out of the 1,530 documents initially identified in the first phase of this search, 43 were selected for the final analysis. The review outlines the prevailing topics studied and research methods utilized for exploring these topics. Furthermore, findings regarding accident risk factors are summarised, as the information they provide presents us with a key for implementing more efficient safety measures. Additionally, suggestions for future research needs are identified.

“…In addition, DHMs have been used to support the design of field-of-view issues (Choi et al 2009;Di Gironimo et al 2012;Godwin and Eger 2009;Godwin et al 2008). Summerskill et al (2016) studied blind spots in the driver's view from large goods vehicles. They used DHMs for the identification and presentation of mirror and blind spot modelling.…”

Virtual prototyping in the design of see-through features in mobile machinery

Limited visibility from a mobile machine cab can decrease task performance and lead to accidents. Therefore, it is important to consider visibility issues already in the design phase. This paper describes the use of virtual prototyping in the evaluation of see-through features of mobile work machines. The goal is to evaluate whether two different machine boom transparency levels have an effect on task performance. In addition, two alternative placements of overlaid information in the operators' field of view are assessed. A within-subject design was used in this study. Based on the results, there was no significant difference in performance between the transparency levels. However, the test participants preferred a transparency level of 70-80% (where 0% is completely opaque). Similar results were found with the placement of the overlaid information, which had no significant effect on task performance. Both placements, on the windscreen and on the tunnel wall, were equally favoured by the participants. The findings of this study contribute to the design of see-through features for mobile work machines. In addition, the study demonstrates the use of virtual prototyping in the design of novel features in human-machine systems.
