Advances in Applied Digital Human Modeling

Dealing with digital human modeling, this book covers the following subject areas: Applications; Mobility and Universal Access; Physical and Physiological Aspects; Product and Process Design; Motion Analysis; Cognitive Aspects; Human Response and Behavioral Aspects; and, Novel Systems Approaches.

With contributions from experts from five continents and countries as far flung as the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, Sweden, Israel, India, and points in between, Advances in Applied Digital Human Modeling provides insight into this emerging and increasingly important area of research. The contributors explore how using digital human models can reduce the need for prototyping and incorporate ergonomics and human factors earlier in the design process.

In the fast-paced, consumer driven marketplace, the time it takes to move from conception to design can make or break the successful launch of new or redesigned products. Digital modeling can decrease time to market, increase safety performance, and positively affect your organization''s bottom line. Useful in various aspects of product, process, and system design in the automotive, manufacturing, aerospace, and service industries, this widely applicable resource provides the latest information on the benefits of this constantly evolving technology.
