Optimization of excavator cab operation interface based on affordance
In order to optimize the excavator driver's interaction with the operator panel,and improve the visual search efficiency of interaction with the operator interface,the affordance interaction matrix(function-task matrix)and affordance identification of the op-erator interface components of the excavator cab were proceeded.The importance of affordance was ranking combined with factor analy-sis.The optimization design of the operator interface components and the entirety was achieved from the design elements such as text,graphics and colors.Finally,an eye-tracking test was used to compare the optimization solutions.The results showed that the optimized solution A had the best performance in terms of eye movement data.The research experiment combined the affordance theory with the optimization of the operator interface to provide a design idea for the optimization of complex human-machine interfaces.
