The control room or ship’s wheelhouse is a very important control center. A non-ergonomic wheelhouse design can cause illness and other disorders. That is why it is important to design a ship’s wheelhouse ergonomically using anthropometry and ship steering ergonomics.
What Measurements Are Used in Measuring Ship Steering Ergonomics?
Before determining the ergonomic size or dimensions of a ship’s steering instrument, it is necessary to first understand the types of measurements used in determining the ergonomics of a ship’s steering room. The following are the measurements used in determining the ergonomic dimensions of a ship’s steering room:
- A: Standing hip height
- B: Standing elbow height
- C: Standing eye height
- D: Optimal standing eye view angle
What Is The Latest Anthropometric-Based Ergonomics Ship Steering?
After determining the types of measurements used in the ship’s wheelhouse, the next step is to determine the measurements used when designing the ship’s wheelhouse. The following are the measurements used in designing the ship’s wheelhouse ergonomics based on the latest anthropometry:
| No. | Dimension | Percentile | Size |
| 1 | Standing Hip Height | 50th | 87.6 cm |
| 2 | Standing Elbow Height | 50th | 96.06 cm |
| 3 | Standing Eye Level Height | 50th | 142.76 cm |
| 4 | Standing Eye Level Viewing Angle | – | 10-30° |
These measurements were obtained based on Indonesian anthropometric measurement data (Antropometri Indonesia) based on the anthropometric measurements of human bodies in Indonesia.
