NIOSH Pilot Study of Truck Driver
Anthropometric and Workspace
Dimensions; Meeting
National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), HHS.
ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
AGENCY:
Name: Consortium Meeting on the
NIOSH Pilot Study of Truck Driver
Anthropometric and Workspace
Dimensions.
Meeting Date and Time: April 27,
2006, 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
Place: Room L1CD, NIOSH, CDC,
1095 Willowdale Road, Morgantown,
West Virginia.
SUMMARY: Purpose: The public meeting
will explain and discuss issues related
to the current NIOSH pilot project and
a possible large-scale research project on
U.S. truck driver anthropometric and
workspace data. This possible largescale study will establish an
anthropometric and workspace database
for U.S. truck drivers. The database will
be used to formulate anthropometric
guidelines, develop digital human
models for cab designs, and upgrade
current standards for new generation
cabs that would accommodate all
trucking populations. Updated
anthropometric information for cab
design will help to increase truck
drivers’ visibility, operational comfort,
maneuverability, and post-crash
survivability, thereby possibly reducing
fatal and nonfatal injuries.
The current NIOSH pilot study will
(1) identify critical cab design criteria
and related human body dimensions, (2)
establish test procedures for the largescale project, and (3) develop research
partnerships with interested parties.
The scope of this pilot and possible
large-scale study will be limited to
medium and heavy trucks and their
operators in the continental U.S. Special
emphasis will be placed on discussion
of the following issues:
(1) What are the key anthropometric
and workspace dimensions for the
design of an ergonomically sound cab?
(2) What are the essential adjustment
parameters and values of the truck buck
that is to be constructed for data
collection?
(3) What are the essential postures to
be scanned in three-dimensional

anthropometry that are to be used in
computer simulation?
(4) What are the essential cab
accommodation models to be developed
once updated anthropometric and
workspace data become available?
The public is invited to attend and
will have the opportunity to provide
comments. NIOSH will use this
information to assess the scientific basis
for the current pilot project and the
possible large-scale project on U.S. truck
driver anthropometric and workspace
data.
Status: The consortium meeting will
include scientists and representatives
from various government agencies,
industry and other stakeholders and is
open to the public, limited only by the
space available. The meeting room
accommodates 40 people. Due to
limited space, notification of intent to
attend the meeting must be made to
Jinhua Guan, PhD, not later than April
14, 2006. Dr. Guan can be reached by
telephone at (304) 599–4676 or by email at ezg6@cdc.gov. Requests to attend
the meeting will be accommodated on a
first-come basis.
