  1. 1. Ride Comfort Optimization of Buses

    Författare :Peter Eriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; structural vibrations; FEM; global optimization; ride comfort; roll control system; MBS; optimization; bus; road irregularities; sensitivity analysis;

    Sammanfattning : As the design of buses is constantly improving, passengers are becoming more fastidious and the demand for a more comfortable travelling environment is constantly increasing. The main objective of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of how the design of buses affects the ride comfort characteristics. LÄS MER

  3. 2. On Objective Measures for Ride Comfort Evaluation

    Författare :Katrin Strandemar; Håkan Hjalmarsson; Staffan Nordmark; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ride; Objective evaluation; Vehicle dynamics; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

    Sammanfattning : An essential tool in the truck development process is the ability to quantify and grade vehicle dynamic behavior. Today this is performed either through subjective or objective tests. Subjective tests have the disadvantage that numerous factors influence test drivers’ opinions while objective measures have the advantage of repeatability. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Ride comfort and motion sickness in tilting trains

    Författare :Johan Förstberg; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tilting train; Ride comfort; Motion sickness; Simulator; Experiments;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents a systematic study of human responses to different motions and strategies of car body tilt control regarding ride comfort, working/reading ability and motion sickness on high-speed tilting trains. Experiments with test subjects were performed in a tilting train on curved track as well as in a moving vehicle simulator. LÄS MER

  5. 4. On Active Secondary Suspension in Rail Vehicles to Improve Ride Comfort

    Författare :Anneli Orvnäs; Sebastian Stichel; Rickard Persson; Roger Goodall; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; rail vehicle; active secondary suspension; ride comfort; sky-hook damping; H∞ control; multi-body simulations; on-track tests; Järnvägsgruppen - Gröna tåget; Järnvägsgruppen - Gröna tåget; Järnvägsgruppen - Fordonsteknik; Järnvägsgruppen - Fordonsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : One way to make rail vehicles a competitive means of transportation is to increase running speed. However, higher speeds usually generate increased forces and accelerations on the vehicle, which have a negative effect on ride comfort. With conventional passive suspension, it may be difficult to maintain acceptable passenger comfort. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Front seat passengers’ experience of ride comfort and NVH in modern cars

    Författare :Xiaojuan Wang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ride comfort; Sound and Vibration;

    Sammanfattning : Due to the refinements in combustion-engine and electric cars, ride comfort has become a prominent attribute when it comes to developing cars in the future. A variety of factors, such as seat, seatbelt, sound and vibration, have been shown to influence perceived overall ride comfort in passenger cars. LÄS MER
