ERGONOMIC DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLES

The number and consequences of traffic accidents and work accidents in road transport represent a burden for individuals and society, as well as a substantial economic burden for transport companies, while also affecting their competitiveness. Research in the area of transport and road vehicle ergon...
