Participatory simulation: describe today, play and describe tomorrow, and design–a pilot study to decrypt the sequence of simulation workshops
摘要
Simulation is one of the tools used by ergonomists to co-design work situations. Despite its frequent use, relatively little research has been done into how it works. In particular, research lacks data on how these workshops lead to the construction of design specifications. Based on a study of the impact of Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) on the work of road professionals, we conducted and analysed two simulation workshops with experienced professionals. The results of this pilot study show that the production of specifications is linked to the use of current or past activity and future activity played out or narrated in a kind of back-and-forth, but that the relative roles of each of these activities are different depending on the time of the workshop. The current activity and the simulated activity also give rise to specifications of different nature.
