Abstract Agricultural tractor drivers experience a high amplitude of vibration, especially during soil tillage operations. In the past, most research studied vibration exposure with more focus on vertical ( z ) axis than fore‐and‐aft x and lateral y axes. This study examines how rotary affects acceleration frequency, power spectral densities (PSDs) at seat pan head along three translational axes in real‐field multiaxis context. Moreover, this aimed to identify characteristics seat‐to‐head...

The present study examined the impact of aging on ethical decision-making in simulated critical driving scenarios. 204 participants from North America, grouped into two age groups (18–30 years and 65 above), were asked to decide whether their automated vehicle should stay or change current lane scenarios mimicking Trolley Problem. Each participant viewed a video clip rendered by simulator at Old Dominion University pressed space-bar if they decided intervene control an online experiment....

Abstract Health-Risk Behaviours (HRBs) are significantly associated with avoidable mortality in adolescents, and preventing HRBs requires an adequate understanding of related factors. Among factors, emotion regulation difficulties may impact youths’ engagement HRBs. Researchers explored the relation HRBs; however, specific for less severe more prevalent HRBs, such as self-harming behaviour, risky-driving, violence, unhealthy dietary poor adherence to prescribed medication, has not been much...
