In this research we focus on the train drivers who serve for the western mountain route. The route is between Taipei and Kaohsiung. The purpose of this research is to investigate the whole-body vibration of these train drivers.In the moving trains a PV-62 pick-up installed on the train's seat was used to measure the trains's vibration. The signals were recorded by the TEAC-R61 recorder and analyzed by the RION SA-27. The subjects were classified into study group or control group according to whether the subject was a trainman or not. Aquestionnaire survey was conducted to study the neck-back health problems for the past one year. The results appear that the maximum weight acceleration in X-axis is 0.23 m/s2 or 7-hours 30-minutes Fatigue-decreased proficiency (FDP) exposure limit; The minimum weight acceleration is 0.09 m/s2 or over 24-hour FDP exposure limit. The maximum weight acceleration in Y-axis is 0.57m/s' or 1-hours 56-minutes FDP exposure limit. The minimum weight acceleration is 0.27 m/s2 or 6~hours FDP exposure limit. The maximum weight acceleration in Z-axis is 0.52m/s' or 4-hours 20-minutes FDP exposure limit. The minimum weight acceleration is 0.09 m/s2 or over 24-hours FDP exposure limit. The maximum of Weight Acceleration Sum (WAS) is 0.89 m/s2 or 1-hour 40-minutes FDP exposure limit; The minimum is 0.42 m/s2 or 6-hours 10-minutes FDP exposure limit. The results of the questionnaire survey show that the prevalence of neck, shoulder, upper back, lumbar, sacrum and low back pain on the study group in the past one year are 65.1%, 50.0%, 35.0%, 55.7%, 24.8%, and 56.5% respectively. Especially, there is a significant difference between study group and control group (p< 0.05) for the neck, lumbar, sacrum and low back pain, The subjects who have operated the train have the best healthy condition. |
