Evaluation of driver discomfort during long-duration car driving

The evolution of indices of fatigue, discomfort, and performance of subjects seated for long duration (150 min) in car seats were studied ( n=11). Four experimental configurations were used: with and without vibration for two seats (U, uncomfortable; C, comfortable). Surface electromyography (SEMG)...

Zusammenfassung:	The evolution of indices of fatigue, discomfort, and performance of subjects seated for long duration (150 min) in car seats were studied ( n=11). Four experimental configurations were used: with and without vibration for two seats (U, uncomfortable; C, comfortable). Surface electromyography (SEMG) data were recorded bilaterally from cervical erector spinae and external oblique muscles. Discomfort increased significantly during the trial, regardless of the experimental condition ( p
