Bronkhorst, R.E. de Looze, M.P. Publication year 2003 Abstract The operator's comfort more and more is recognized as a factor of importance in the design of cabins of all kinds of vehicles. This book addresses the comfort of cabins of earth moving machinery, as a result of a 2,5-years European project (1999-2002), known as 'Eurocabin'. In this project 3 manufacturers of earth moving machines joined their strengths to improve the comfort of their machines: Paus GmbH from Germany, Etec BV from the Netherlands and Kaiser AG from Liechtenstein. They were assisted by TNO Work and Employment. The Eurocabin project was performed within the European Union's Fifth RTD Framework Programme, called 'Competitive and Sustainable Growth'. The book is divided in three parts. In part 1 the most recent state of knowledge behind comfortable cabin design is described. Part 2 focuses on the user. It describes why it is important to have a user centred approach to cab design and how and when the user can become involved in the process. The future in cab design is what part 3 is about.
