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.

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..

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.
