Acquiring necessary information from relevant stakeholders is shown as a method that can be used to determine user design requirements. The requirements will in turn be used to develop design concepts taking into consideration human interface with the ambulance work environment. The modeling and simulation of clinical care activities in the ambulance can be used to evaluate the design concepts and determine those that would better meet safety and performance requirements. 606 $aAmbulances 606 $aAutomobiles$xDesign and construction 606 $aHuman engineering 606 $aMotor vehicles$xDesign and construction 615 0$aAmbulances. 615 0$aAutomobiles$xDesign and construction. 615 0$aHuman engineering. 615 0$aMotor vehicles$xDesign and construction. 700 $aKibira$b Deogratias$01387775 702 $aLee$b Y.
