Background: Truck driving is a highly sedentary occupation that places workers at risk for chronic health conditions, such as obesity and high blood pressure. The primary purpose of this study was to objectively describe truck drivers' typical physical activity (PA) patterns. Methods: We used ~7-10-day baseline PA actigraphy data samples from drivers in the Safety & Health Involvement For Truckers (SHIFT) study (n = 394). Driver PA patterns (e.g., average number of ≥10 minute Freedson bouts per week, time in bouts, and common days/times for PA) were summarized with descriptive analyses. We also compared objective accelerometer data to self-reports. Results: Drivers' weekly PA averaged 14.4 minutes (SD = 37.0), and most PA occurred between 5-6 pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Drivers overestimated self-reported weekly exercise by over 60 min/week compared to accelerometer data. Conclusion: Our results suggest that objective PA assessment may be warranted over self-report when possible, and timing may be key in future PA intervention work with truck drivers.

과적차량은 도로 주행환경의 안전을 위협하고 도로구조물의 수명단축에 직접적인 영향을 주는 주요 원인이다. 자중계는 화물차량에 탑재하여 중량을 측정할 수 있는 유일한 장비로, 운전자는 스스로 과적상태를 확인하고 운행 전 상차 시 적재중량을 조절하여 과적을 사전에 예방할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 과적 적재물 중 골재 및 토사가 전체의 36.55%로 주요 과적적재물로 나타나 이를 주로 운송하는 30대의 건설폐기물 수집·운반차량을 선정하였으며, 자중계의 시범설치 및 원격 모니터링을 수행하여 운행데이터를 수집하였다. 운전자에게 중량을 인지할 수 있는 중량표시 앱을 배포하기 전 1달과 배포한 후 1달 동안 운행데이터를 비교하여 과적 예방효과를 분석하였다. 자중계로부터 제공받은 적재중량을 인지함으로써 과적운행이 6.1%가 감소한 것을 확인하였으며, 운송량을 극대화하면서 단속을 우려하여 원거리로 우회 주행을 할 필요가 없어 운송거리와 시간이 줄어 운송 효율이 높아진 것을 확인하였다.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze industrial accident compensation insurance coverage and industrial accidents among concrete mixer truck drivers. Methods: Original data on industrial accidents from 2012 to 2017 were analyzed through descriptive statistics. Results: Industrial accident compensation insurance coverage was 44.6% in 2017. Most concrete mixer truck drivers were affiliated with small businesses. A total of 61 industrial accidents occurred in 2012, 65 in 2014, and 80 in 2017. The major types of industrial accident were falls, slips, and crushes. Conclusion: Because concrete mixer truck drivers are at high risk for industrial accidents, industrial accident compensation insurance coverage and industrial accident prevention should be strongly enforced.

The cycle time of construction equipment for earthwork operations has a significant impact on project productivity. Elements that directly impact a haul vehicle's cycle time must be identified in order to accurately quantify the haul cycle time and implement strategies to decrease it. The objective of this research is to scientifically identify and quantify variables that have a significant impact on the cycle time of a dump truck used for earthwork. Real-time location data collected by GPS devices deployed in an active earthwork moving construction site was analyzed using statistical regression. External data including environmental components and haul road conditions were also collected periodically throughout the study duration. Several statistical analyses including a variance analysis and regression analysis were completed on the dump truck location data. Collected data was categorized by stage of the dump truck cycle. Results indicate that a dump truck's enter idle time, exit idle time, moving speed and driver visibility can significantly impact the dump truck cycle time. The contribution of this research is the identification and analysis of statistically significant correlations of variables within the cycle time.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the level of health problems and the factors that affect health problems for concrete mixer truck divers. Methods: The questionnaires were administered to 111 drivers in 6 Remicon workplaces located in D city and 7 Remicon workplaces located in K city from September 10 to 28, 2018. A total of 111 questionnaires were collected and 106 were used, excluding 5 incomplete ones. Data were analyzed with frequency, percentage, $x^2$ test, multiple logistic regression analysis by SPSS/WIN 23.0. Results: The factors affecting subjective health were eating habits, sleeping hours and drinking conditions. The factors that affected chronic diseases were age, eating habits, sleep hours, and drinking conditions. The factors influencing musculoskeletal complaints were work experience, eating habits, and sleep hours. Conclusion: The major influencing factors of health problems were eating habits, sleeping hours. This study suggests that it is necessary to run a systematic health care program for the desirable health behaviors in the communities and industrial fields.

In this paper, the improvement of cap tilting system in heavy truck and the development of program for automatic design are discussed. Cab tilting system takes some important roles in heavy truck, absorbing discomfort vibration from load, increasing repair efficiency and making sure of safety. Common manual cab tilting system cannot be easily tilt up in sloped road, giving difficulty to driver as cal tilting up/down. So recently hydraulic cab tilting system is in wide use. But some problem such as tilting up/down speed is not constant and sudden swing of cab has brought discredit from user. Therefore, this paper presents advanced cab tilting system which prevents sudden swing of cab and development of program for selecting design parameters automatically.

In this paper, the development of exclusive control valve for improving the performance of truck cab tilting system is discussed. Cab tilting system is implemented to the heavy truck for the convenience of driver. However when tilting up or down, sudden swing of cab has brought discredit on user. To improve this phenomena it is inevitable to use counter balance valve. But because of high pressure and low flow characteristic, general counter balance valve is unsuitable to cab tilting system. Therefore, this paper presents the developments of exclusive return pressure control valve which prevents sudden swing of cab and verify the validity of design through the computer simulation.

The possibility of developing musculoskeletal disorders increases with the length of service of the worker. Musculoskeletal disorders can occur when performing repetitive and forceful movements. Therefore, Cargo drivers operate repeatedly in the wrong posture for a long time. When loading and unloading a cargo, the cargo driver works repeatedly with force. Cargo operators are also exposed to musculoskeletal disorders in the working environment due to poor posture and repetitive movements. In this study, we are going to conduct a study on the level of awareness and prevention of the possibility of musculoskeletal disorders in cargo drivers for long periods of time. As a result of the study, the factors that cause musculoskeletal disorders in each group can occur during the long-term operation and preparation of drivers.

화물자동차 사고는 전체 교통사고의 약 12.64%를 차지하고 있다. 특히 화물자동차의 경우 사고 발생 시 피해규모가 크며 사망률도 매우 높다. 이러한 이유로 2012년도에 화물차 보험료는 대폭 인상되었고 화물자동차 운전자들의 부담이 매우 높은 실정이지만, 화물자동차의 과속, 과적 등은 줄어들고 있지 않는 추세이다. 화물자동차 운전자들이 자발적으로 안전운전을 할 수 있도록 대책을 강구하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 현재 화물자동차 운전자들이 자발적으로 안전운전을 할 수 있는 방법 중 하나로 Usage-Based Insurance(UBI)를 선정하였다. UBI란 운전자가 안전운전을 할수록 보험료를 할인하는 제도로 화물차 운전자들이 안전운전을 하는 동시에 보험료 부담을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. UBI를 도입하기 위해 가장 중요한 것은 운전자들의 운행 평가를 하는 방법이다. 운전자들의 운행 평가를 통해 보험료 할인/할증률을 결정할 수 있고, 합리적으로 운행 평가를 실시하여야 운전자들이 납득 할 수 있기 때문이다. 최종적으로 본 연구에서는 화물자동차의 주요 사고 원인을 규명한 뒤 각각의 사고 원인들과 사고와의 상관분석 및 다중회귀분석을 통해 운행평가모델을 구축하고자 한다.

자동차 산업에서 자율주행자동차의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있음에 따라 본 연구에서는 화물 운송 산업에서 화물운송차량을 무인화물자동차로 전환했을 시, 그 효율성에 대한 연구를 진행하고자 한다. 국내의 화물 운송 산업은 공로운송이 70% 이상을 차지하고 있어 화물트럭으로 인해 교통사고 유발, 도심의 교통체증 유발, 대기오염, 소음 발생 등의 여러 문제점을 야기하고 있다. 특히 화물트럭기사의 야간 운행, 무리한 운송 스케쥴 등으로 제반여건을 개선할 필요가 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에는 화물운송차량을 무인자율주행차로 대체하여 물류산업에 미치는 효율성을 분석하였고 물류비용 분석을 통하여 기존의 유인화물차량보다 무인화물차량이 더 효율성이 높은 것으로 분석되었다.
