TY - JOUR PY - 1979// TI - Self-service elevator control panels, a survey of user preference JO - Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society annual meeting A1 - Smith, Donna L. SP - 124 EP - 128 VL - 23 IS - 1 N2 - Historically little systematic Human Factors Engineering has been done on the development of elevator control panels. This survey had participants develop a numerical arrangement within a given configuration. Results compare the preferences of Human Factors specialists (about half the participants) with laymen in numerical configuration, shape coding preference, and sequence of assist buttons (open, close, emergency). A photographic survey examines the variety of control panels that can be found in public buildings and makes recommendations for improving the man-machine interface.
