Selecting the best controls with which an operator interfaces with the equipment is critical to maximizing operator-machine performance. This is especially important in confined areas where space for controls is limited and the operator's mobility and ability to generate force is restricted. Suitability for a particular task should dictate control selection - the best control for one task may be inadequate for another.

The first principles for control design for underground mobile mining equipment take these factors into account.
