| Abstract [eng] |
The purpose of this research is to determine the vertical vibration and frequency spectrum transmitted to the rider by electric scooters travelling on different types of road surfaces. Vibration analysis involves the measurement of vibration levels of e-scooter elements, accompanied by the analysis of the Fourier Transform Spectrum and using a t-sample measurement design and a one-sample statistical method. Approach in the research allows overall driver comfort to be assessed through frequency and vibration analysis, considering vibrations received by the hands and the whole body. In addition, the natural frequencies of the electric scooter components and their stability are being investigated to assess vibration transformation. The study includes an assessment of ride comfort and considers potential health implications. The results obtained facilitate the identification of critical risks associated with vertical vibration frequencies transmitted to individuals when riding electric kick-scooters in urban areas with different types of pavements. |
