TY - JOUR PY - 1983// TI - Design parameters for video display terminal workstations JO - Journal of safety research A1 - Kroemer, KHE SP - 131 EP - 136 VL - 14 IS - 3 N2 - Body dimensions are main determiners of equipment dimensions. Design for the "average user" is not suitable. Selected percentile values at the lower and upper extremes of the variable distribution determine minimum and maximum equipment dimensions or adjustment ranges. Interactions among design variables must be considered. This paper applies this rationale to the determination of major equipment dimensions of video display terminal (VDT) workstations. While the approach is generally usable, the specific data describing the U.S. population used in this paper indicate design ranges appropriate for North America. Since American body dimensions are quite comparable to most European data, the equipment dimensions should also be suitable for use in Europe.
