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..

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....

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Taylor, M., Edgar, A., & Raine, M. (2017, May). Cyclist exposure to hand-arm vibration and pavement surface improvement in the City of Edinburgh. Paper presented at Scottish Transport Applications and Research Conference

In the city of Edinburgh, pavement surfaces utilised as either shared space or dedicated cycle-paths use a broad range of materials and surface finishes. A poor pavement surface discourages cyclists from selecting certain paths or routes and vibrati...
