Pacific Patrol Boat Replacement — Human Factors & Anthropometric Library (2015)


IGOR developed a scalable anthropometric library for Pacific Island populations to support the human factors and ergonomic design of Australia’s Pacific Patrol Boat Replacement capability. The work combined anthropometric evidence, mathematical extrapolation and human factors analysis to ensure that vessels, controls, workspaces and accommodation could accommodate the substantial physical variability of their intended users.
