TRUCKERS' HELP * Canada researchers: To tackle truck driving vibration

* Ontario - To evaluate the vibration in a variety of seats commonly used by truck drivers


-- Now is your opportunity to take part in a research study that aims to address a serious problem truckers face everyday, vibration in trucks and the seats drivers use... A collaborative effort between researchers at the University of Western Ontario and the University of Waterloo, along with the MFL Occupational Centre and the Manitoba Trucking Association, is looking for both fleets and drivers that will allow them measure the vibration in trucks along different Manitoba roadways while comparing different types of seats... The project has three main goals: 
 - To evaluate the vibration in a variety of seats commonly used by truck drivers of all types, including long-haul, short-haul, highway, city and secondary roads. 
- To test new anti-vibration seats in a laboratory and compare the findings to the real world vibration effecting truck drivers. 
- To develop ways that researchers can effectively share the results of their findings with the transportation industry. 
It is estimated it will take about two years to complete the project...
