Review Research on Isolation Systems of the Cab and Driver’s Seat in Soil Compactors

Under the influence of the interactions between the vibratory drum/wheel and deformable terrains, the ride comfort of the soil compactors is greatly affected. Therefore, the isolation systems of the cab and driver’s seat of the soil compactors have been researched and developed to improve ride comfort. Based on the existing research results, this study provides an overview of the development of the isolation systems of the cab and driver’s seat of the soil compactors. The research result shows that the cab isolations used by the semi-active hydraulic mounts (SHM) or semi-active hydraulic-pneumatic mounts (SHPM) can greatly improve the driver’s ride comfort and control the cab shaking, whereas the driver’s seat suspension embedded by the negative stiffness structure (NSS) strongly improves the driver’s ride comfort. To further improve the driver’s ride comfort and reduce the cab shaking, a combination of the driver’s seat suspension added by the NSS and the cab isolations used by the SHM or SHPM should be researched and developed in the future.
