Purpose:It is determined the influence of harmful production factors on determining the nature and rate of aging of bus drivers. Material:The experiment was attended by 12 drivers aged 28 to 45 years. Work experience -from 5 to 20 years. Hygienic assessment of the main unfavorable production factors (vibration, dust, noise, climatic conditions, etc.) was carried out at the workplaces of drivers of route buses (Ukraine). Results:It was also determined and compared the biological age of drivers. It has been established that with an increase in the seniority of drivers, their aging rate increases. In the group of drivers with experience less than 10 years (calendar age 35), the rate of aging was 4.7 years. With the work experience of drivers of 10-15 years (calendar age 35 years), the rate of aging was 7.6 years. The average age of biological drivers over calendar drivers is 7 years. Conclusions:It is confirmed that work under conditions of harmful factors' influence the production environment worsens the health of drivers and reduces the duration of their lives.

“…With the rapid economic development of China, the volume of motor vehicle increased dramatically in the past 30 years, which led to the ceea ce a condus la creºterea bruscã a accidentelor rutiere [2]. Potrivit unui raport oficial [3], China se aflã în fruntea listei în ceea ce priveºte numãrul de decese ºi accidente datorate traficului rutier. Ca participanþi principali la sistemul de trafic rutier, ºoferii joacã un rol dominant în accidentele rutiere, fiind responsabili de mai mult de 90% din accidentele rutiere, în timp ce 30% din numãrul total de accidente au fost declanºate de ºoferi de sex feminin [4,5].…”

“…According to an official report [3], China topped the list in terms of number of traffic deaths and traffic accidents in the world. As the main participators of the road traffic system, drivers play a dominant role in traffic accidents, being responsible for more than 90% of the road traffic accidents; meanwhile, 30% of all the accidents were triggered by female drivers [4,5].…”

ABSTRACT. This study was aimed to explore a suitable heel height of shoes for driving. Fourteen healthy female students were recruited and five pairs of footwear with varied heel heights were randomly arranged to each participant; their insole plantar pressure and ankle motion in plantar and dorsal direction whilst stepping on the power and break pedal were recorded in a Suzuki 1.3L AT car, where the driving position was on the left side. One-mask model was used and peak pressure 2 (PP) (Kpa), contact area (CA) (cm ) and pressure time integral (PTI) (s·Kpa) under forefoot area were calculated. Our results show that in terms of ankle motion, it increased with the relative heel height; in terms of insole pressure, only the CA was sensitive to the augment of relative heel height. Based on the significant differences, 30 mm heel height was a criterion; when the heel height exceeded 30 mm, the ankle motion range and CA were significantly increased. Overall, the safe heel-height of driving shoe should not exceed 30 mm. KEY WORDS: driving; safety; insole pressure; ankle motion; high-heeled footwear EVALUAREA SIGURANTEI ÎNCALTAMINTEI POTRIVITE PENTRU SOFAT REZUMAT. Acest studiu a avut ca scop gasirea unor pantofi cu toc de înaltime adecvata pentru sofat. S-au recrutat paisprezece studente sanatoase si li s-au distribuit aleatoriu cinci perechi de încaltaminte cu înaltimi de toc variate; s-au înregistrat presiunea plantara la nivelul brantului si amplitudinea articulara în directie plantara si dorsala în timpul apasarii pe pedalele de acceleratie si de frâna într-o masina Suzuki model 1.3L AT, cu locul soferului pe partea stânga. S-a utilizat modelul cu o 2 singura zona de analiza si s-au calculat presiunea maxima (PP) (Kpa), zona de contact (CA) (cm ) si integrala presiune-timp (PTI) (s·Kpa) în zona antepiciorului. Rezultatele noastre arata ca, în ceea ce priveste amplitudinea miscarii gleznei, aceasta a crescut odata cu înaltimea relativa a tocului; în ceea ce priveste presiunea la nivelul brantului, doar CA a fost sensibila la cresterea înaltimii relative a tocului. Pe baza diferentelor semnificative, a reiesit ca tocul cu înaltime de 30 mm a fost cel adecvat; când înaltimea tocului a depasit 30 mm, amplitudinea articulara si CA au crescut semnificativ. În general, pentru siguranta, înaltimea tocului încaltamintei potrivite pentru sofat nu trebuie sa depaseasca 30 mm. CUVINTE CHEIE: sofat; siguranta; presiune la nivelul brantului; amplitudine articulara; încaltaminte cu toc înalt ÉVALUATION DE LA SÉCURITÉ DES CHAUSSURES ADAPTÉES À LA CONDUITE RÉSUMÉ. Cette étude visait à explorer une hauteur de talon de chaussures appropriée pour la conduite. Quatorze étudiants femmes en bonne santé ont été recrutées et cinq paires de chaussures avec des hauteurs de talons variées ont été disposées au hasard à chacun des participants; on a enregistré leur pression plantaire dans la région de la semelle et le mouvement de la cheville dans les directions plantaire et dorsale en appuyant sur l'accélérateur et le frein dans une voiture Su...

Background: Human factors have the most significant effects on the occurrence of traffic accidents among the three factors of human, road, and vehicle. The driver is a significant traffic safety concern. Interventions that enhance driver's safety are required. Risky behaviors of drivers on the road influence physical healthy and personality. The aim of this study is to report the protocol for a sequential explanatory mixed methods study that set out to determine the drivers' traffic factors, the associated factors and exploring the perception of drivers about the risky traffic factors on the road. The ultimate purpose of the study is to design a preventive and cultural based strategy to promote driver's safety. Materials and Methods:This is a sequential explanatory mixed methods design. The study has two sequential strands. The follow-up explanation model has used to develop the quantitative results by gathering qualitative data from participants who could assist in elucidating the results correctly. During the first strand (a quantitative phase) and a population-based crosssectional survey of a sample of drivers of all ages and level of experiences will be carried out using the proportional random sampling method, in Tehran, Iran. Data will be collected by questionnaires involving items on socio-demographic information, items on measuring health (Drivers Medical Questionnaire), and questions on five-factor Personality (NEO-FFI), drivers risky behaviors (Manchester driving behavior questionnaire). Questionnaires will be completed through a face-to-face interview. In the second strand, a qualitative study will be conducted. A purposeful sampling strategy will be used, and participants who can help to explain the quantitative findings will be selected. Individual fully developed interviews will predominate data collection in the qualitative strand the. A qualitative content analysis approach will be undertaken to create an itemized understanding of the traffic-risky behaviors among drivers of all ages and level of experiences. Conclusion:The findings of this explanatory mixed methods study will provide information on traffic-risky behaviors by all drivers. The results will be implemented to design a cultural based strategy, and intervention programs are to be designed to promote driver's health in the community.
