AB  - BACKGROUND: Previous research has shown that the collection and analysis of crane operators' anthropometric characteristics is very important for operators' comfort, health and working ability and also from the aspect of performance, productivity and safety. OBJECTIVE: The first aim of this survey is to collect up-to-date anthropometric data of crane operators in Serbia and to collect those data for the first time in Libya. The second aim of this survey is to compare the collected data. The third aim is to model the interior space necessary to accommodate operators in the cabins they operate in Serbia and Libya. METHODS: Standing height, sitting height, lower leg length, upper leg length, shoulder width, hip breadth, arm length, foot length and weight data were collected of 83 Serbian and 50 Libyan crane operators. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and tests for differences between variables were conducted to examine differences between Serbian and Libyan crane operators and enable further modeling. The modeling of the cabin interior was done using both univariate and multivariate operators' models from both samples. RESULTS: There are only four common correlations between variables for both samples. The only measurement without statistical differences is shoulder width. Serbian crane operators have statistically higher values of almost all measurements in comparison to Libyans. The minimal cabin interior space dimensions are 1207 x 1080 x 1884 mm for Serbian operators and 1106 x 1040 x 1790 mm for Libyan operators when using univariate approach, while multivariate approach provides more precise and comfortable accommodation within 1327 x 1123 x 1926 mm for Serbian operators and 1203 x 1090 x 1830 mm for Libyan operators. Accordingly, our survey shows that percentile models include less than the intended population proportion in the design problem with few dimensions and depends on correlations among them. CONCLUSIONS: A number of problems are solved through modeling the crane operator workspace and it has been shown that cabins with different dimensions have to be offered to Serbian and Libyan markets.

AB  - The collection and analysis of anthropometric characteristics for various passenger car user populations is a very important predecessor of the design process. The first aim of this survey is to collect up-to-date anthropometric data for male passenger car drivers in Serbia and to collect those data for the first time in Libya. The second aim of this survey is to compare the collected data and enable further modeling using both univariate and multivariate operators' models from both samples. Anthropometric measurements on standing height, sitting height, lower leg length, upper leg length, shoulder width, hip breadth, arm length, and foot length were collected for 921 Serbian and 300 Libyan male drivers. Results show that, for Serbian male drivers, a correlation between variables exists in 67.85% cases, while for Libyan male drivers, a correlation between variables exists in 39.28% cases. The comparison of mean values between variables for Serbian and Libyan male drivers showed that, beside shoulder width, all others have significantly higher values for Serbians than for Libyikans. Consequently, there are different interior space dimensions of the vehicle obtained: for Serbian drivers, interior space dimensions amounted to 1500 x 561 x 1230 mm and for Libyan drivers amounted to1400 x 591 x 1155 mm which are useful to passenger car designers in eliminating existing anthropometric inconsistencies.

AB  - At level 3 the driver still remains "in-the-loop" due to the inability of the automated system to manage a particular driving situation/environment and anthropometric data are still essential in design. In that aim anthropometric measurements of 193 Serbian and 50 Libyan female drivers have been collected using standard anthropometric instruments and compared using statistical methods - descriptive statistics with Kolmogorov test for normality, linear regression and correlation analysis and comparison of measured anthropometrics using z test. Results obtained in this study are useful to passenger car designers aimed to compete on autonomy level 3 and show that there exist significant differences between Serbian and Libyan female drivers. Future research on other rarely available anthropometric data for other nationalities is recommended, due to globalization trends and constant migrations.

AB  - This paper is a part of ongoing research on passenger car drivers' and crane operators' anthropometric measurements data collected in aim to make comparison, explore ergonomic adaptation and fi nally improve safety. It represents one of the rare explorations containing the Libyan male drivers and crane operators' data, and accordingly it is one of the fi rst researches in anthropometric fi eld on Libyan population. Herein, statistical analysis on Libyan 300 male drivers and 50 crane operators collected data shows that male drivers are taller, and have higher sitting height as well as upper leg length values, while crane operators have slightly wider shoulders and hips. Both Libyan groups have the same arm and foot lengths. Apart of Libyan male car drivers and crane operators, research includes also and Serbian car drivers (921 Serbian male drivers) compared with crane operators (83 crane operators). Obtained data show that Serbian male car drivers have signifi cantly larger standing height and upper leg length values, while foot length is signifi cantly lower for drivers than for crane operators. Passenger vehicle and crane cabins designers can benefi t from this survey.

AB  - Background: Previous research has shown that today's crane cabins fail to meet the needs of a large proportion of operators. Performance and financial losses and effects on safety should not be overlooked as well.

Objective: The first aim of this survey is to model the crane cabin interior space using up-to-date crane operator anthropometric data and to compare the multivariate and univariate method anthropometric models. The second aim of the paper is to define the crane cabin interior space dimensions that enable anthropometric convenience.

Methods: To facilitate the cabin design, the anthropometric dimensions of 64 crane operators in the first sample and 19 more in the second sample were collected in Serbia. The multivariate anthropometric models, spanning 95% of the population on the basis of a set of 8 anthropometric dimensions, have been developed. The percentile method was also used on the same set of data.

Results: The dimensions of the interior space, necessary for the accommodation of the crane operator, are 1174×1080×1865 mm. The percentiles results for the 5th and 95th model are within the obtained dimensions.

Conclusions: The results of this study may prove useful to crane cabin designers in eliminating anthropometric inconsistencies and improving the health of operators, but can also aid in improving the safety, performance and financial results of the companies where crane cabins operate.

AB  - This paper is a part of ongoing research
on ergonomic characteristics, specifically
anthropometric measurements, for passenger car
drivers and crane operators, in order to achieve
better working conditions and improve safety. It
represents one of the rare explorations containing
the Libyan male drivers and crane operators data,
and accordingly it is one of the first serious
researches on Libyan population. In this paper
anthropometric measurements and weight data have
been compared between different occupations in
Libya - male drivers and crane operators. Statistical
analysis on 300 male drivers and 50 crane operators
collected data are resulting with conclusion that
male drivers have slightly higher value of weight,
are taller, and have higher sitting height as well as
upper leg length values, while crane operators have
slightly wider shoulders and hips. Both groups have
the same arm and foot lengths

AB  - Collaborative environments today are very successful when used in multiplayer games and for meetings organizing, which gives an idea to explore its potentials in remotely controlled decentralized manufacturing. This survey is based on the experiment that involved 34 small collaborative groups including 68 students in Serbia, that have used the interface for remote collaborative control of manufacturing systems to control of CNC machine located in Portugal. Our previous surveys have shown that group work consumes less time than individual work in most working options. This paper examines influence of homogeneity of the groups. Results of statistical examination show that percentages of errors are significantly or highly significantly higher in homogeneous compared to a non-homogeneous groups. Therefore, it could be recommended to form heterogeneous groups when remotely controlling decentralized manufacturing processes.
