    Abstract : This doctoral dissertation in psychology focuses on present day transport research issues. Society is affected by the way that our transport system works. In one way or another, the use of the transport system involves different levels of human involvement and control. READ MORE

  4. 2. An investigation of cognitive aspects affecting human performance in manual assembly

    Author : Anna Brolin; Keith Case; Peter Thorvald; Leo De Vin; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cognitive ergonomics; Manual assembly; Manufacturing; Usability; Cognitive workload; Information presentation; Material presentation; Product variants; Kitting; Technology; Teknik; User Centred Product Design; Användarcentrerad produktdesign;

    Abstract : Modern manufacturing systems seem to be shifting from mass production to mass customisation, which means that systems must be able to manage changes in customer demands and requirements, new technology as well as environmental demands. This in turn leads to an increase in product variants that need to be assembled. READ MORE
