Ergonomics in the context of Methods

This topic is part of our "Methods" world. There you'll find methodology, evidence and the highest-impact levers — plus the order in which they sensibly build on each other.

Top studies on Ergonomics

Ranked by influential-citation count and publication year.

  1. Do you trust what an automated vehicle shows you? The effects of presenting dynamic system certainty information on driver behavior

    Applied Ergonomics20261 influential citations

    As automated vehicle (AV) systems become increasingly more intelligent and self-aware of their capabilities, understanding drivers' interactions with AVs is paramount for successful integration of these vehicles into the broader…

  2. Behavioural adaptation in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) use

    Applied Ergonomics2026

    Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) promise to enhance road safety, reduce driver workload, and improve driving comfort. However, their real-world impact is shaped by how drivers adapt their behaviour over time. This study explores…

  3. Passive exoskeletons in healthcare practice: Usability and acceptance in a clinical setting

    Applied Ergonomics2026

    <h4>Background</h4>Exoskeletons are gaining interest as ergonomic tools, but healthcare tasks' variability, hygiene standards, and emergency demands pose challenges. Despite the high rate of musculoskeletal disorders, it remains unclear…

  4. Perceived safety during human-robot interaction with an autonomous mobile robot

    Applied Ergonomics2026

    Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are being rapidly implemented in the manufacturing and warehousing industries. Research could help enhance our understanding of human workers' safety perceptions and behaviors when interacting with AMRs,…

  5. Effects of anticipatory auditory cues and non-driving related tasks on motion sickness in automated vehicles

    Applied Ergonomics2026n=31

    In the context of highly automated vehicles, motion comfort deserves crucial attention for their widespread adoption. Passengers of automated vehicles are prone to motion sickness from diminished cognizance of the driving environment, and…

  6. The big five model of teamwork and human autonomy teams: a scoping review

    Applied Ergonomics2026

    Teams play a critical role in society and represent a key area for Human Factors and Ergonomics. Salas et al.'s Big Five model is widely cited; however, the increasing use of Human-Autonomy Teams (HATs) has fuelled debate over its…

  7. Investigating the effects of back-support exoskeletons on work posture: An automated AI-based NIOSH measurement using YOLO

    Applied Ergonomics2026

    Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are prevalent among masons with 58% reporting lower back pain from repetitive lifting and sustained trunk flexion. Back-support exoskeletons (BSEs) reduce muscle activation and claim to…

  8. When technology misaligns with work demands: a biomechanical and ergonomic field study of exoskeleton use in masonry

    Applied Ergonomics2026

    The use of exoskeletons in occupational settings has been proposed as a solution to reduce physical strain and improve ergonomics. This field study investigates the effect of a back-support exoskeleton on muscle activity, full-body…

  9. Can seat suspensions mitigate motion sickness and enhance vibration comfort while being driven? A subjective assessment of the K-Seat

    Applied Ergonomics2026n=24

    Prolonged exposure to whole-body vibration (WBV) is a key contributor to motion discomfort in vehicles, including motion sickness and ride comfort. This issue becomes more compelling in automated vehicles, where occupants are expected to…

  10. Anticipatory vibrotactile cues about upcoming turns reduce motion sickness: A study with car passengers on public roads

    Applied Ergonomics2026n=40

    The introduction of automated driving brings improvements towards comfort and enables all passengers to use their time more efficiently. However, the more the occupant engages in tasks unrelated to driving, the risk of massive discomfort…
