Abstract
Ergonomics in transportation is an essential area of research with the potential to enhance the safety and comfort of many individuals. By incorporating ergonomic principles into transportation systems, they can become safer, more comfortable, and more efficient. In this paper, a bibliometric analysis and systematic review are conducted to identify trends and areas of interest within the field. Leading authors and leading institutions are identified. Co-occurrence and co-citation analyses are performed. Word clouds are generated from relevant literature. Data was first exported from sources such as Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Dimensions, and Harzing’s Publish or Perish. The data was then analyzed with a variety of tools including VOSviewer, CiteSpace, BibExcel, Vicinitas, and MAXQDA. A brief procedure for conducting content analyses in each tool is provided. Potential future work is identified and discussed. Overall, the use of various bibliometric analysis tools is demonstrated for use in a systematic literature review and the importance of incorporating ergonomic principles into transportation systems is discussed.
