“…Human adaptabilities have been studied fully in the literature [15,24,[37][38], and it has been found that human is capable of adjusting his characteristics to meet system requirements. These human abilities provide manually-controlled system designs with a large degree of flexibility which is somehow unreachable m fullyautomatic control system designs [39][40][41].…”

“…Human operator characteristics are not fixed, and it has been found that the stochastic variations in his characteristics are due to the external stimuli, not due to the input signals; they are called remnant and treated as if they were noise [15], see seconds), and finally the time required for processing, which is basically dependent on the task requirements [14][15]40]. In a simple tracking task, the reaction time delay is about 0.1 to 0.4 second [14,15] ..…”

“…In a simple tracking task, the reaction time delay is about 0.1 to 0.4 second [14,15] .. Both the visual and muscular systems possess a maximum of 10 cycles per second in their frequency responses and in visual- [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] manual control tasks, the controlled elements cannot move faster than three cycles per second [14,39].…”

“…Manual control theory has a powerful application for monitoring complex vehicles, such as aircraft, automobiles, bicycles, etc., which have limited bandwidth and operate in a well-defined optimal fashion, and in which the human operator needs to control only a few input variables [15,[40][41].…”

“…Practically this assumption means that in the development of human performance modeling, one must provide the human operator an internal model of the system and its environment [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. For more about human performance modeling and its role as an information processor or adaptive controller in man-machine systems, one may refer to [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36].…”

Anthropometric digital human models are well established and used in order to get a better design of human-adapted machines. By the application of electronics and computer operated machines, nearly arbitrary design of controlling and operating the technical equipment seems possible. So more and more the question arises: What is operable by the human operator and what leads probably to a disaster due to much stress. By applying systems ergonomic rules, this can be avoided to a far extent. In order to consider these rules already in an early state of development, it seems useful to incorporate such rules in digital human models. By this procedure, cognitive human models will be created. The combination of such models with anthropometric digital human models will lead to the possibility to carry out virtual experiments under the condition of computer aided design. So, in the future, more ergonomic knowledge will be considered by this new technique. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. TRADITIONAL ERGONOMIC DESIGNIn order to judge the development potential of human modeling, the areas of its application are to be marked out. A powerful help for that is to consider the traditional manner of proceedings during the development of an ergonomic design. In this context we consider without exception human-related design of technical equipment (so-called microergonomics) and not aspects of the interrelation and interaction between the individuals of specific different designed organizations (so-called macroergonomics).In the practical application, two main streams of ergonomic layout can be observed: the ergonomic design of working places-we call that Production Ergonomics-and the ergonomic design of the products, which are sold on the open market-we call that Product Ergonomics. In both areas to a large extent the same ergonomic rules and tools are applied but only after all specific specialties in these areas are considered: Production Ergonomics:Production Ergonomics is concerned with human-related working places in productive and public service enterprises. Its goal is to reduce the work load in the first place to avoid danger of health injury but also to improve the individual contentedness in the working situation. All these demands however must be seen also by an economic point of view. That means: it also should be shown that the intended measures also enlarge performance. Often it would be sufficient to be able to point out that the amount of employee time missed due to illness could be reduced.
