“…That may contribute to the noise level in a cabin which commonly presents from 67 to 101 dBA with frequent train whistles that warn individuals walking along the rail track or reaching a level crossing (Iridiastadi, 2016). The locomotives do not have an airconditioned cabin, and the cabin's design does not take ergonomics into account (Iridiastadi, 2021), including how to reduce the noise exposure to the cabin personnel. The Indonesian railway safety has been evaluated by previous research (Bambang and Wiwik, 2013;Iridiastadi, 2021Iridiastadi, , 2016, but the noiseinduced health problem is rarely investigated by assessing the continuous noise exposure.…”

This situation may affect the health of workers (cabin and station personnel) both psychologically and physiologically (Vermeer and Passchier, 2000).…”

Noise may cause serious health problems, including physiological responses, specifically in the cardiovascular system. This study aims to assess occupational noise exposure and analyze the correlation between occupational noise and blood pressure in cabin and station personnel. The participants were 30 cabin personnel (train drivers) and 30 station personnel. The cabin had a Leq of 90.3 dBA while the noise level at Poncol Station was still below the threshold limit value (TLV), i.e., 75.8 dBA. The noise exposure assessment also included noise exposure profiling. The Chi-square test showed that noise influenced systolic and diastolic blood pressure changes. Furthermore, for train drivers, the t-test showed a difference in systolic and diastolic between before and after the activity. As for station personnel, there was a difference in systolic, but contrarily it was not the case in diastolic. According to the noise profile, the train whistle had the most significant noise level at 120 dBA. Moreover, the use of a train whistle regularly may raise the noise level exposure to cabin staff and even station workers. This study contributes to scientific evidence that occupational noise might affect blood pressure

“…However, too many subjective factors probably lead to inaccurate results. The objective evaluation methods are divided into three categories, namely, detection based on driver physiological parameters [4][5][6][7][8], detection based on vehicle behavior [9,10], and detection based on computer vision [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The detection based on driver physiological parameters, including electroencephalogram (EEG), electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyography (EMG), electrooculogram (EOG), and other parameters, can reflect the driver's physiological state.…”

Aiming at the problem of fatigue driving, this paper proposed a driver fatigue tracking and detection method combined with OpenMV. OpenMV is used for image acquisition, and the Dlib feature point model is used to locate the detected driver's face. The aspect ratio of eyes is calculated to judge the opening and closing of eyes, and then fatigue detection is performed by PERCLOS (Percentage of Eyelid Closure over the Pupil). The cradle head system is mounted for driver fatigue tracking and detection. The results show that the dynamic tracking system can improve the accuracy to 92.10% for relaxation and 85.20% for fatigue of driver fatigue detection. This system can be applied to the monitoring of fatigue driving very effectively.

“…[ 2 3 ] Numerous studies have examined the association between working hours and work stress,[ 4 ] its negative consequences such as increased hazard rate and coronary heart disease,[ 5 ] and fatigue due to degraded sleep quality resulting from split rest periods obtained before the duty. [ 6 ] In addition, changes in unsocial working hour characteristics have consistently associated with parallel changes in work-life conflict[ 7 ] and depressive symptoms. [ 8 ]…”

Background: The present research aimed to propose a positive mental health model in relation to occupational stress and coping styles among train drivers of Indian railways. Methods: Sample ( N = 300) in the age group of 21–59 years, with 40 years of mean age, and the job experience ranged from 3 to 40 years with a mean of 15 years was undertaken through purposive sampling technique. The sample also had a proper representation of the sociodemographic background. The survey-based research design with an empirical approach was used in the present study. Results: The structural equation model revealed the positive mental health of train drivers negatively associated with the experience of occupational stress. Their flourishing state has supported the positive effect of problem-focused coping and the negative effect of social support. However, this relationship with work stress was absent. Through moderation effect, problem-focused coping style strengthens the inverse association between occupational stress and positive mental health. This effect was equivalent across all living areas and income groups at the model as well as the path levels. Conclusions: This study revealed that train drivers who engaged in problem-focused coping could better handle organizational role stress and benefit from improved mental well-being. Therefore, many failures in the railway caused by human error emphasize the importance of this preventive strategy.
