Analysis of Ergonomic Factor Measurement for Transjakarta Bus Drivers

Abstract

Transjakarta transportation accidents have increased from year to year. Transjakarta buses having an accident can result in the driver not feeling comfortable while driving so that the driver experiences a lack of concentration. Therefore, the authors conducted a study that aimed to investigate the ergonomic factors experienced by Transjakarta bus drivers. The author uses the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) method by taking 30 Transjakarta bus driver data and by using the Nordic Body Map (NBM) method by taking 30 driver data using a questionnaire. The results of the RULA method have been used to test the correlation using the Minitab software. The results of the RULA on reaching the steering wheel activity were 3-4 which means that further investigation was needed and may require changes to improve. And for the average time to reach the button was 5-6 which means the need for immediate investigation and change. NBM results show that most of them experience pain in the waist so that it is necessary to improve the position of the waist. Correlation Test Results The activity of reaching the button and the activity of reaching the steering wheel is -0.209 and the P-Value is 0.268 so that the results of an inverse relationship between the activity of reaching the steering wheel and reaching the button are found. The greater the activity reaches the wheel, the smaller the activity reaches the button. The correlation found has a very weak relationship between variables.
