Abstract

This study was done to show how a computerized workstation design program could be used to design and evaluate workstations having multiple operators with shared or common controls. To do this the Computerized Assessment of Reach program (CAR) was used to evaluate the cockpit of the OH-58A (Huey) helicopter. This same program was then used to demonstrate methods of cockpit redesign.
