Resumo(s)
O presente tema de investigação tem como objeto de estudo, as condições de trabalho dos
motoristas de veículos pesados de mercadorias no interior da cabine.
As condições de trabalho destes profissionais têm evoluído bastante ao longo das últimas
décadas, no entanto mantém-se monótono, antissocial, stressante e por vezes “incómodo”,
dependendo estes fatores das condições de conforto e higiene proporcionadas no seu posto de
trabalho móvel. As más infraestruturas externas dos postos de serviço, a ausência delas em grandes
rotas, ou a espera no trânsito, são fatores que aumentam consideravelmente a fadiga dos condutores
e, por sua vez, implicam na diminuição da segurança.
Deste modo, a nossa investigação tem como principal objetivo o desenvolvimento de
uma proposta para a criação de um novo interior de cabine de veículo pesados de mercadorias,
que visa melhorar as condições de trabalho dos motoristas de transportes pesados. Para o efeito,
foram analisadas as necessidades destes profissionais sob as metodologias de observação direta
e a utilização de inquérito por questionário e desenvolvimento conceptual para a implementação de
melhorias de usabilidade, conforto, bem-estar físico e psicológico, assim como a segurança pessoal
e rodoviária.
Considerando o enquadramento metodológico teórico, esta investigação foi dividida em
três fases distintas. A primeira fase, exploratória, na qual foi aprofundado o estudo do tema de
investigação, de modo a compreender o meio envolvente e os hábitos da profissão em questão, bem
como as respetivas medidas de segurança associadas e problemáticas relacionadas ao exercício da
função de motorista. Na segunda fase, generativa, foi elaborada a proposta do redesenho do interior
de uma cabine de um transporte pesado de mercadorias, sob a forma de contexto experimental de
aplicação dos dados obtidos na fase exploratória. Na terceira fase, avaliativa, quantificou-se a nova
proposta, através da disseminação do argumento aos profissionais da área, de modo a obter uma
resposta fundamentada com a experiência e know-how destes trabalhadores.
Desta forma, neste projeto concluiu-se que as necessidades dos profissionais de veículos
pesados de mercadorias passam pela introdução de uma casa de banho com duche e sanita dentro
do habitáculo da cabine e alteração na disposição dos respetivos elementos interiores
The present research topic focuses on studying the working conditions of heavy goods vehicle drivers. Despite significant advancements in the working conditions of heavy goods vehicle drivers over recent decades, their work still proves to be quite monotonous, antisocial, stressful, and sometimes ‘uncomfortable.’ These factors depend on the comfort and hygiene conditions provided in their mobile workplace. Poor external infrastructure at service stations, their absence along major routes, or traffic delays considerably increase driver fatigue, subsequently leading to decreased safety. Hence, our research aims primarily at developing a proposal for a new interior design for heavy goods vehicle cabins, aiming to improve the working conditions of drivers in this sector. To achieve this, the needs of these professionals were analyzed through field observation methodologies and the utilization of questionnaires aimed at drivers. The objective is to use design strategies to implement usability improvements, thereby enhancing safety and the physical and psychological well-being of drivers. Considering the theoretical methodological framework, this research was divided into three distinct phases. The first phase was exploratory, involving an in-depth study of the research topic to understand the environment and habits of the profession, safety measures associated with it, and issues related to the role of a driver. In the second, generative phase, a new concept for the interior of a heavy goods vehicle cabin was developed, based on the data obtained in the exploratory phase. Finally, in the evaluative phase, the new proposal was quantified by disseminating the argument to industry professionals to obtain a substantiated response based on their experience and know-how. As a result, this project concluded that the needs of heavy goods vehicle professionals involve the introduction of a bathroom with a shower and toilet within the cabin space, along with alterations to the arrangement of the respective interior elements.
