Abstract
The visibility evaluation is significant for the development of construction equipment. The visibility evaluation follows the standards of ISO 5006, ISO 14401-1, and ISO 14401-2. The evaluation contains the operator's visibility and the visibility of rear-view mirrors. The operator's visibility includes the visibility test which requires the recognition of the rectangular line surrounding the machine by one meter and the circle with a 12 meter radius. This study describes the two evaluation processes for the development of the wheel loader. The first process is the light bulb shadow test by using a prototype wheel loader. The second process is based on computer simulation in virtual space. The advantages and disadvantages of computer simulation process are investigated.
