[0002] When cars drive on uneven roads, drivers are exposed to continuous low-frequency vertical vibrations caused by factors such as the characteristics of the vehicle's suspension system. Similarly, truck drivers, due to their large loads, long mileage, and complex and variable road conditions, are prone to prolonged exposure to vertical vibrations. This unique vertical vibration load is believed to significantly impact the driver's physiological state, such as cardiovascular function, respiratory rhythm, body temperature regulation, fatigue level, and physical biomechanical load, thus affecting driving safety and occupational health.

[0067] A vibration sensor, mounted on test bench 1, is used to monitor the state of test bench 1 during movement. The vibration sensor is secured with rigid gaskets and then glued to the test point.

[0068] The seat testing unit 12 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the test bench 1 and is used for human driving tests.

[0069] Seat test unit 12 includes;

[0070] The pedal 121 is mounted on the upper end of the test bench 1;

[0071] The bracket 122 is fixedly assembled on the upper end of the test bench 1;

[0072] Seat cushion 123, which is mounted on the upper end of bracket 122;

[0073] The backrest 124 is mounted on the upper end of the bracket 122 and is located on the right side of the seat cushion 123.

[0074] Seat test unit 12 also includes;

[0075] The seat pressure distribution sensor is a thin-film sensor that is laid flat on the surface of the seat cushion 123 to test the seat pressure distribution.

[0076] The backrest pressure sensor is a thin-film sensor that is laid flat on the surface of the backrest 124 to test the backrest pressure.

[0077] A pedal pressure sensor is attached to the surface of pedal 121 and is used to test pedal pressure.

[0078] Vibration generating unit 13 is assembled at the lower end of test bench 1;

[0079] The vibration generating unit 13 includes:

[0080] Two double rotary vibrators 131 are symmetrically mounted on the front and rear sides of the lower end of the test bench 1, with their two ends facing the left and right sides respectively.
