Ergonomics teaches how to design technology in such a way that it is optimally adapted to the needs, wishes and characteristics of the user. In this context, the concept of the human-machine system has become established. In a systematic way and with a detailed view of the complicated technical and perceptual psychological and methodological connections, this book explains the basics of automotive ergonomics with numerous examples. The application is shown in examples such as package, design of displays and control elements, of environmental ergonomics such as lighting, sound, vibrations, climate and smell. The design of driver assistance systems from an ergonomic perspective is also a central topic. The book is rounded off by methods of ergonomic vehicle development, the use of mock-ups, driving simulators and tests in real vehicles and prototypes. For the first time, those responsible in the automotive industry and in the field of relevant research are provided with a specializedsystematic work that provides the ergonomic findings in the design of today's automobiles. This provides planners and designers of today's automobiles with concrete information for ergonomic product development, enabling them to keep an eye on decisive requirements and subsequent customer acceptance.This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Automobilergonomie by  Heiner Bubb, Klaus Bengler, Rainer E. Grünen & Mark Vollrath, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2015. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

Ergonomie lehrt, wie Technik so zu gestalten ist, dass sie optimal an die Bedürfnisse, Wünsche und Eigenschaften des Nutzers angepasst ist. Es hat sich in diesem Zusammenhang der Begriff vom Mensch-Maschine-System etabliert. Sachsystematisch und mit detailliertem Blick auf die komplizierten technischen und wahrnehmungspsychologischen und methodischen Zusammenhänge werden in diesem Buch die Grundlagen mit zahlreichen Beispielen erklärt. Dabei zeigt sich die Anwendung der Fahrzeugergonomie in den Beispielen wie Package, Gestaltung von Anzeigen und Bedienelementen, von Umweltergonomie wie Beleuchtung, Schall, Schwingungen, Klima und Geruch. Auch die Gestaltung von Fahrerassistenzsystemen aus ergonomischer Sicht ist ein zentrales Thema. Abgerundet wird das Buch durch Methoden der ergonomischen Fahrzeugentwicklung, die Nutzung von Mock-Ups, Fahrsimulatoren und von Versuchen in Realfahrzeugen und Prototypen. Erstmals wird den Verantwortlichen in der Automobilindustrie und im Bereich der einschlägigen Forschung ein fachsystematisches Werk an die Hand gegeben, das die ergonomischen Erkenntnisse bei der Gestaltung heutiger Automobile bereitstellt. Damit erhalten Planer und Konstrukteur heutiger Automobile konkrete Angaben für die ergonomische Produktentwicklung und können so entscheidende Anforderungen und die spätere Kundenakzeptanz im Blick behalten.
