ANTHROPOMETRY RESOURCE

Base de Dados Antropométricos da População Mundial

WEARA IMPORTÂNCIA DOS DADOS

ANTROPOMÉTRICOSMedidas antropométricas são dados essenciais para o projeto ergonômico de produtos industriais.

Equipamentos, produtos e postos de trabalho projetados sem considerar as características dimensionais da população usuária podem provocar posturas críticas, ações inseguras e favorecer incidentes.

OBJETIVOS DO WEAR

Desenvolver uma ferramenta para efetivamente compartilhar dados antropométricos de modo a fornecer informações necessárias de forma rápida, precisa e a um custo reduzido;

Formar uma base de dados antropométricos da população mundial contendo os dados das pesquisas antropométricas utilizando métodos tradicionais e 3D já realizadas no mundo, bem como ferramentas de análise e de adequação de produtos aos usuários.

WEAR•Facilitar o acesso a informação a usuários de diferentes níveis de conhecimento

•Facilitar o acesso aos dados antropométricos 3D via WEB

•Fornecer ferramentas para armazenar, procurar, recuperar e analisar dados

WEAR

•Prover material para orientar o usuário na análise e na aplicação dos dados antropométricos para fins de projeto.

•Disseminar o uso de dados antropométricos de base para fins de projetos

•Fornecer acesso a dados de qualidade para os usuários de forma auto sustentada para dar suporte a pesquisas antropométricas futuras

• primary website act as the entry point to WEAR• primary site holds general information and tools• …and the links to the nodes

Principles

• Future collaborative surveys will distribute the cost of surveys

• Allows the generation of funds for sustaining the resource while not penalizing students or scientists

• The central point for access fees

Staggered access structure

Example of staggered pricing structure

Higher access fee ($10,000.00)

Commercial sector

Yearly access fee ($5,000.00)
