The route selection for this study is from the toll Ayer Keroh to toll Tangkak with total of 32.1 km and the speed limit will be 80km/hr. The grip force is collected before and driving session by using Hand Grip Dynamometer. Furthermore, the data collected for the grip force will be analysed and compared. Besides that, the ergonomics risk factor for both hand position also will be analysed by RULA analysis in Catia software. Lastly, limitation of the study faced and suggestion for the future study will be listed at the end of this report.
