  • Summary: Validation of Ergonomic Simulation Software

    Below is a list of the replies to my enquiry. Thanks for the replies,
    and sorry for not posting them sooner.

    I am working on a project that aims to validate a digital human model
    > used in the ergonomic analysis of workplace design. The aim of the
    > validation is to study how realistic the biomechanical aspects of the
    > model are by comparing with human subjects. During my literature
    search
    > on this subject I have noticed several authors mentioning the need for

    > the establishment of a standardised validation criterion for such
    > models. This would allow different models to be objectively compared
    and
    > a potential user could choose the model that best suits his/her
    > application. My question is this:
    >
    > Is anyone aware of any such standard validation criteria being used or

    > proposed?
    >
    > If anyone has carried out work in a similar area I would be grateful
    to
    > hear from them and to hear of any advice they have to offer on this
    > matter.

    I would suggest contacting Aernout Oudenhuijzen of The Netherlands
    Organization at oudenhuijzen@tm.tno.nl. Aernout has been working on a
    very similar project. Another person to contact would be Don Chaffin of
    the University of Michigan at dchaffin@umich.edu. Don has worked
    in the field of human strength and movement modeling for many years.
    You may also be interested in the activities of the SAE G-13
    Committee on Human Modeling Technology and Standards. See the web site
    at http://www.sae.org/technicalcommittees/g13.htm for more
    information.
