Abstract
Motorcycle riders in their everyday life are repeatedly exposed to different levels of WBV. Regular prolonged exposure to different magnitudes may result in biochemical and biodynamic alteration in the tissues, ligaments and tandems. High magnitudes of such vibration may also lead to muscular disorder with back pain and at times may well impair quality of life. The authors have measured magnitudes of vibration experienced by two persons riding three dissimilar two-wheelers. Based on the experimental trails and magnitudes of vibration measured at different vehicle speeds, the authors attempted to quantify the exposure to vibration while riding and thereafter attempted to evaluate the exposure limit on different two-wheeler vehicles with respect to the weight of the riders.KeywordsWhole body vibration (WBV)Motorcycle riderRoot mean square (RMS)Vibration dose value (VDV)Crest factor (CF)
