Study of microclimate indicators of a bus driverʼs workplace in the warm season of the year
Main Article Content
Abstract
On the basis of the developed methodology for the working conditions of a city bus driver, experimental studies of the microclimate in a bus of the Electron A18501 model were carried out. After analyzing the rolling stock of bus fleets in a number of Ukrainian cities, the city of Lviv was selected for research. Using a specially designed set of measuring equipment, the temperature, humidity, and air volume, as well as the level of CO2 at the bus driverʼs workplace were measured. The obtained results of the experiment can be further used in theoretical studies, and they can also serve as a basis for determining the capacity of refrigeration units for the buses under study
