The Human Factors Research Unit (HFRU) laboratories have a unique range of human-rated test facilities for experimental studies of human responses to whole-body vibration, hand-transmitted vibration, and low frequency oscillation.
Human vibration simulation facilities
The HFRU simulation facilities may be used for:
- High fidelity laboratory simulation of vibration and mechanical shocks recorded in land, sea, and air transport
- Simulation of combined environments, e.g., vibration, noise, thermal
- Prediction of discomfort caused by multi-axis multiple-frequency whole-body vibration and shock
- Prediction and control of the effects of vibration on manual control tasks, visual tasks and postural stability
- Prediction and control of motion sickness in transport
- Assessment of the performance of seats in accordance with International Standards
Collaboration Opportunity
We are looking for collaboration partners for UK and EU projects. We also provide our services via consultancy.
