Evaluation of Driving Fatigue and Change of Muscle Activity During Long-term Driving with Back Support Mechanism Attached

Abstract

By introducing the muscle activity quantity evaluation by electromyogram, evaluation of muscle tone degree, muscle burden, muscle fatigue and so on, identification of muscle related to fatigue reduction, change of muscle activity amount and driving fatigue assessment It aims to investigate the relationship. As a result, it was found that the muscle whose muscle activity amount decreased at each support position was found, and it was also found that there was a relationship between muscle activity and fatigue value even at some supporting position.
