A study of cyclists hand-arm vibration exposure. (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Taylor, M., Oliver, C., & Bayram, J. (2018). A study of cyclists hand-arm vibration exposure. In 53rd United Kingdom Conference on Human Responses to Vibration Proceedings

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..

Assessing correlation of human response to vibration through vibrotactile threshold shift with vibration exposure determined on the subject (2018)
Conference Proceeding
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 Vibration (UK HRV) Proceedings

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...

Assessing the relationship between the human response to vibration in the vibrotactile threshold shift with HAV exposure determined on the subject (2018)
Conference Proceeding
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 Response to Vibration Proceedings (86-100)

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.

Is it efffective to prevent HAVS by using tool vibration declaration values? (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Maeda, S., Taylor, M., Anderson, L., & McLaughlin, J. (2018). Is it efffective to prevent HAVS by using tool vibration declaration values?. In The 26th Japan Conference on Human Response to Vibration Proceedings (101-111)

This study reports the results of an investigation into A(8) based on tool vibration declaration values evaluation effects of hand-transmitted vibration on temporary threshold shifts of vibratory sensation on the finger. The hand-transmitted vibratio... Read More about Is it efffective to prevent HAVS by using tool vibration declaration values?.
