Description
Summary:Our main study theme is to reduce fatigue of driver during long time driving. In order to reduce fatigue of drivers during long time driving, we focused on a method of using back support mechanisms to change the posture of the driver. We predicted that fatigue level of driver would change in accordance with the change of back support position. Furthermore, we evaluated the muscle activity change when the support position changed. By examining the correlation between the evaluated data, we expected that the driver's optimum support position would be found out. As a result of conducting driving and subjective assessment, it was found that there was a difference in fatigue reduction effect on the change of the driver's back support position. When the driver's fatigue level was low, muscle activity was low.
