Tractor Operator Objective Response to Seat Vibration in Real World Usage Pattern

Experimental Evaluation of an RWD Vehicle With Parameter Extraction for Analytical Modeling and Evaluation

“…[83] measured the VDV in different seating locations on a mass transportation bus for optimal passenger comfort and room. [84] calculated VDV metrics for an assortment of tractors in use in India as a health hazard to many local farmers.…”

“…This is shown in Table 7 comparing the published times from different studies. [71] Various Times K. Horste [85] 16 seconds E. Johanning [80] 53 minutes to 5 hours and 16 minutes D. Joshi et al [81] 120 seconds or more D. Robinette et al [60] 16 seconds F. Buarque et al [82] N/A M. Walber et al [83] 60 seconds S. Pawar et al [84] 7 minutes to 40 minutes E. Little et al [87] N/A It was observed from Table 7 that most of the studies do not adhere to the recommended 108 or 227 second time periods mentioned in ISO2631. It is further noted that some studies do not publish any time periods while others use multiple time periods within a single study.…”

“…This is ambiguous and makes comparisons between studies not applicable. Even reviews such as the one published by S. Pawar [84] use various time periods and publish much different results for different tractors and road conditions.…”
