Evaluation on Health Effect of Military Vehicle Driver Exposed to Vibration on Cross country Road on Compliance with ISO 2631 1
A test driver of military vehicle is excessively exposed to shock and vibration during durability test on cross country test road at development stage. The excessive shock and vibration might cause health problem of the test driver, by which the driving speed can be moderated away from original purpose. In this study, The vibration on seat cushion and seat track was measured when a test driver operates a military vehicle in three velocity modes on cross country test road. And Health effect of the vibration was estimated by ISO 2631 1. It is found that amount of vibration exposure increased and health effect deteriorated as increase of velocity. It is useful to design effective vehicle durability test modes with the results found in this study.
