TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Comparative study of subjective fatigue between automatic transmission bus drivers and manual transmission bus drivers JO - Acta medica Okayama A1 - Ueno, M. A1 - Ieyasu, H. A1 - Tsuda, T. A1 - Ogawa, Toshiki A1 - Adachi, M. SP - 229 EP - 232 VL - 41 IS - 5 N2 - The difference in the physiological condition of drivers of manual transmission buses (MTB) and automatic transmission buses (ATB) was examined from the viewpoint of occupational health. This study was based on a self-administered questionnaire which involved items concerning subjective fatigue complaints. No differences in the mental fatigue and stress between MTB drivers and ATB drivers were observed. Although ATB drivers tended to feel less physical fatigue than MTB drivers, the difference was not statistically significant. From these results, it was suggested that there was little difference in the subjective fatigue between ATB drivers and MTB drivers.
