Abstract:

To solve the problems of empiricism, subjectivity and randomness in the manual layout of human machine interface in wheelhouse, an optimization layout design method of human machine interface that combines virtual simulation and optimization algorithm is proposed. First, the optimal operating point and the operating comfort of each area of the human machine interface are obtained through virtual simulation. Then, the layout criteria and ergonomics criteria of human machine interface are quantified as objective functions and constraints, a layout optimization mathematical model of human machine interface is established, and a large number of initial positions of the particles in the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm are obtained through the differential evolution algorithm. Finally, the optimal layout scheme is obtained, and virtual simulation evaluation is conducted. Taking a control panel as an example for layout optimization and virtual simulation, the optimal layout scheme obtained is proved to satisfy ergonomic criteria, and the performance of the human machine interface has been improved. This paper can provide references for the layout design of the high performance human machine interface in wheelhouse.
