THE EFFECT OF VIBRATION ON AGRICULTURAL WORKERS AT SOIL PROCESSING IN A GREENHOUSE

Journal Title: ISB-INMA TEH AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1

Abstract

Agricultural machines produce vibrations that act on the operator causing discomfort or more or less serious effects on his health. Our study presents a system for determining the vibration exposure of agricultural workers during soil cultivation operations in a greenhouse with a cultivator Husqvarna T85HX. The vibration measurement system was developed using the Arduino development platform, an MPU9250 inertial motion sensor (IMU) and open source programs. MATLAB Advanced Programming Language was used to process and analyse measurement data. Experimental tests have shown that the proposed vibration monitoring system is fully functional and that the level of exposure to vibration in soil processing with the mentioned equipment is not at high risk.
