Background: The noise caused by traffic is an increasingly prominent feature of urban environments. However, limited studies have been focused on the assessment of exposure-response relationship between road traffic noise exposure and driving behaviors in Iran. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of the violations caused by road traffic noise exposure in Qazvin, Iran. Methods...

background: driving posture discomfort can contribute to musculoskeletal disorders (msds), injuries, lumbar pain and fatigue. the three main objectives of this study were to identify the level of awareness for correct and safe driving posture, health implication to their body parts and to propose a suitable car seat fit dimensions appropriate for malaysian drivers’ population. methods: the two ...

To achieve higher economy of the original driving scheme with single motor and settled gear ratio, new configurations with different powertrain systems in front and rear axle were designed. Firstly, according to the power and torque required by a micro electric vehicle (mEV) in various drive cycles, the parameters of a small and high power motor were determined. Secondly, for schemeⅠwith dual m...

Abstract Bicycles with electric pedal assist systems are becoming increasingly popular, increasing versatility, a range of intended areas use, and different design approaches for system realization. This paper deals the proposal novel modular drivetrain concept based on friction driving wheel, which brief outline is given. Desired performances law constraints average bicycle experience analysed...

Driving instructors and novice drivers often remain sceptical about the realistic learning potential driving simulators offer to real world driving tasks. The aim of this experiment was to compare the effectiveness of training in the real system with an advanced driving simulator. The participants were required to learn a specific driving manoeuvre: reverse park a truck with an attached trailer...
