Psychological Effects of Heart Rate and Physical Vibration on the Operation of Construction Machines: Experimental Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A construction method has emerged in which a camera is installed around a construction machine, and the operator remotely controls the machine while synchronizing the vibration of the machine with the images seen from the operator's seat using virtual reality (VR) technology. Indices related to changes in heart rate (HR) and physical vibration, such as heart rate variability (HRV) and multiscale entropy (MSE), can then be measured among the operators. As these indices are quantitative measures of autonomic regulation in the cardiovascular system, they can provide a useful means of assessing operational stress.

Objective

In this study, we aimed to evaluate changes in HR and body vibration of machine operators and investigate appropriate methods of machine operation
