报告摘要：
具统计，车辆低频整体振动极大影响了乘坐人员的身体健康。本次讲座首先对车辆整体振动引起的健康风险、标准及评估方法进行介绍。然后，主要关注可以用于预防和降低整体振动的控制策略。在讲座中，将集中讨论引起行车座位振动的一系列内外因素的控制策略与方法。
Drivers of industrial vehicles such as those used in the forestry, mining, construction and transportation sectors are exposed to comprehensive levels of low frequency whole-body vibration (WBV) and intermittent shocks. Current epidemiological evidence suggests that exposure to WBV and shocks is related to increased risks of low back pain and degenerative changes in the spine, while also influencing comfort and performance. While several countries in Europe are now recognizing and compensating low back pain and certain spinal disorders as occupational diseases caused by vibration, engineering and administrative controls are needed to reduce the risks of causing harmful effects for the drivers.
While providing a summary of current knowledge on the health risks, standards and evaluation methods of whole-body vibration exposure in vehicles, this presentation will put particular emphasis on the prevention and reduction strategies that can be applied for their control. In particular, the focus will be put on seating and on the various intrinsic and extrinsic factors that are likely to influence their vibration attenuation performance. Through several examples extracted from laboratory and field conducted studies, the major challenges posed by the proper adaptation of seats for drivers having different anthropometric characteristics and in different categories of vehicles will be illustrated and discussed to show how they can be addressed. Finally, the research perspectives with regard to the control of whole-body vibration exposure will be discussed, taking into account currently observed trends and developments with regard to seating.
