Research from Istanbul Technical University Yields New Study Findings on Health and Medicine (Evaluation of Road Roughness and Vehicle Speed Effects on Vibration Comfort of School Bus Driver Seats following the ISO 2631-1 Standard and...).

A new study from Istanbul Technical University examines the effects of road roughness and vehicle speed on the vibration comfort of school bus driver seats. The researchers developed a full-vehicle school bus model to evaluate seat comfort according to ISO 2631-1 and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) legislation. They found that the maximum vehicle speed for comfortable driving decreases as the power spectrum density of road roughness increases. The study suggests measures to be taken in accordance with OHS legislation. [Extracted from the article]
