Bus: Does the ecoconduite reduces the stress of the drivers?

Bus drivers from Friborg Public Transport (TPF) are the guinea pigs of unprecedented experience, piloted by Unisanté. Some have worn electrocardiograms while they worked. The goal is to see if adopting less fuel -gourmet driving has an impact on their health.

First, TPF vehicles were equipped with a system with various sensors, to assess the quality of driving and allow drivers to improve. “The objective is to improve the comfort of passengers and passengers, and to reduce the environmental impact,” wrote this united Tuesday.

To see if a more green driving has an influence on the health of drivers, researchers have compared the cardiac activity of employees who use this system and those who are not equipped on their vehicle since March. An electrocardiogram is fixed on the chest, during the usual driving activity, over a period of 5 to 10 days of work.

This approach will compare the indicators and know whether this system of assistance to ecoconduite has an impact on well-being in the professional environment, concludes unisanced.
