› Design problem: Designing a truck cabin to<br />

improve the health problems of long-haul truck<br />

drivers.<br />

› Forming research questions to contribute to<br />

solutions: what causes the health problems of<br />

long-haul truck drivers? What behaviours does<br />

the truck cabin support? Which behaviours could<br />

the truck cabin support in the context of the truck<br />

driver’s life?<br />

› What existing knowledge can the student draw<br />

on? On the basis of the research questions, select<br />

fields: design for behavioural change, psychology<br />

(behavioural change), truck cabin ergonomics, and<br />

knowledge about the daily life of truckers.<br />

› How to search for literature?<br />

› Prepare around five keywords, such as:<br />

behaviour change, truck drivers, truck drivers’<br />

health problems, truck cabin design, and truck<br />

ergonomics.<br />

› Input combinations of these keywords into<br />

search databases (for example Google Scholar,<br />

Scopus).<br />

› Pick the five to ten publications that seem the<br />

most relevant (these are not always the first<br />

ones that show up; sometimes they can be<br />

found two pages down).<br />

› Browse the publications and their reference lists<br />

to get a sense of the key theories and insights in<br />

the fields studied.<br />
