Des fonctions de la simulation des situations de travail en ergonomie

Abstract

Ergonomic simulations may be classified according to the role that they assign to the future users, which may either be modelled in technical tools, subjects of controlled experiments, or participants in a participatory process. In the latter case, simulations may produce more than technical improvements. They may result in new developments of individual and collective activity.
