Further Development in Ride Quality Assessment

Abstract

Internationally, a growing concern has developed and widespread disagreement has occurred over the present methods for quantitatively describing and assessing the effects of vehicle vibrations on humans, and over the short- and the long-term effects of vibrations on drivers and occupants of heavy trucks, agricultural and earthmoving equipment, and military vehicles. None of the present methods is completely satisfactory; in fact, most criteria were developed for low-level boulevard rides and are highly suspect when applied to the several vibrational levels conducted in earthmoving and military-type operations.
