8/1/2008 - Conference papersThis testing monitored the performance of older and newer truck models relative to whole-body vibration (WBV) exposures as a means for determining when the vehicle (e.g., suspension system) and seats required maintenance or replacement.
-
10/1/2003 - Conference papersNIOSH researchers conducted a study to compare seat designs on underground coal mine haulage vehicles.
-
9/1/2010 - Conference papersThe objective of this work was to profile injuries sustained during haul truck operations, to identify priorities for further investigation, and to determine potential injury prevention strategies.
-
2/1/2005 - Conference papersThis analysis will indicate safe following distances for haul trucks and other heavy equipment to avoid overexposure to respirable dust from the lead haul truck.

11/1/1999 - Conference papersA system that ties acceleration data with Global Positioning System (GPS) data was developed, assembled, and tested to track the frequency and causes of jolting and jarring of heavy equipment operators.
-
3/1/1999 - Conference papersAccelerometers and pressure transducers mounted in suspension components can be used to monitor the ride of haulage trucks. When information from a Global Positioning System is recorded at the same time as shock pressures or acceleration date, then the...
