INTERIOR SPACE IN HEAVY-DUTY TRUCK CABS

Heavy-duty trucks are often required to incorporate in their cabs sufficient sleeping space to enable the crew to take a rest during long hours of driving. In addition, space must be provided for the driver to move freely inside the cab from his seat to the bed. The cab of a heavy-duty truck must have a spacious area for the crew's comfort and convenience. With a view to improving the comfort of this particular area, the authors have analysed the movements of the driver inside the cab based on a survey of trucks operating on the road.
