Assessing correlation of human response to vibration through vibrotactile threshold shift with vibration exposure determined on the subject (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Maeda, S., Taylor, M. D., Anderson, L., & Mclaughlin, J. (2018). Assessing correlation of human response to vibration through vibrotactile threshold shift with vibration exposure determined on the subject. In 53rd UK Conference on Human Responses to Vibr

Existing risk assessment methodologies are based on fixed tool vibration magnitude emission data and tool usage time. The research evaluates the relationship between vibration dose assessment on subjects using wearable sensors with temporary threshol...

A study of cyclists hand-arm vibration exposure. (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Taylor, M., Oliver, C., & Bayram, J. (2018, September). A study of cyclists hand-arm vibration exposure. Presented at 53rd United Kingdom Conference on Human Responses to Vibration, Ascot, UK

Cycling infrastructure and, in particular, a well maintained pavement surface contributes to a safe and comfortable ride. However, defective pavement surfaces and insufficient maintenance can expose cyclists to excessive hand-arm vibration. Limited... Read More about A study of cyclists hand-arm vibration exposure..

Cyclist exposure to hand-arm vibration and pavement surface improvement in the City of Edinburgh (2018)
Other
Taylor, M., Edgar, A., & Raine, M. (2018). Cyclist exposure to hand-arm vibration and pavement surface improvement in the City of Edinburgh. Edinburgh

Cyclist exposure to hand/arm vibration Napier University's Dr Mark Taylor used an instrumented bike to assess the effect of setts and other road surfaces on hand-arm vibration. Setts were found to be a severe problem, with some cyclists even e... Read More about Cyclist exposure to hand-arm vibration and pavement surface improvement in the City of Edinburgh.

Scottish cycling infrastructure and public health: a study of cyclist hand-arm vibration exposure (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Taylor, M. (2018, November). Scottish cycling infrastructure and public health: a study of cyclist hand-arm vibration exposure. Paper presented at 1st Annual Cycling Research Board Meeting, Amsterdam, Netherlands

The management of pavement surfaces for walking and cycling is currently a labour intensive task and relies upon user reporting defects and direct visual inspection. Local authorities are being pressed to cut budgets and reduce annual expenditure....

Naturalistic measurement of driver eye height and object height using photogrammetry (2018)
Journal Article
Llewellyn, R., Sarkar, P., & Taylor, M. D. (2021). Naturalistic measurement of driver eye height and object height using photogrammetry. Proceedings of the ICE - Transport, 174(7), 430-440. https://doi.org/10.1680/jtran.18.00124

Driver eye height and object height are key factors in the derivation of basic parameters for safe and economically efficient highway design. This study critically reviews previous approaches to the measurement of these values and investigates the c...

Scottish cycling pavement assessment using hand-arm vibration exposure (2018)
Journal Article
Taylor, M. D., Edgar, A., & Raine, M. (2019). Scottish cycling pavement assessment using hand-arm vibration exposure. Infrastructure Asset Management, 6(2), 86-101. https://doi.org/10.1680/jinam.17.00014

A defective pavement surface discourages cyclists from selecting certain routes, and vibration exposure is a noticeable consequence of reduced path surface quality. Current asset management practice includes walkover surveys and cyclists reporting... Read More about Scottish cycling pavement assessment using hand-arm vibration exposure.

Assessing the relationship between the human response to vibration in the vibrotactile threshold shift with HAV exposure determined on the subject (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Anderson, L., Taylor, M., Maeda, S., & McLaughlin, J. (2018). Assessing the relationship between the human response to vibration in the vibrotactile threshold shift with HAV exposure determined on the subject. In The 26th Japan Conference on Human Respon

Existing risk assessment methodologies are based on fixed tool vibration magnitude emission data (such as tool declaration data or a point in time (typically annually) tool measurement to ISO5349) and tool usage time. The research evaluates the rela... Read More about Assessing the relationship between the human response to vibration in the vibrotactile threshold shift with HAV exposure determined on the subject.
