Vibration and passenger comfort.
The problems of maintaining the well-being of passengers travelling by public transport are complex. They include psychological, physical and organisational considerations all of which may interact to provide an overall, individual comfort reaction. Since it is a fundamental feature of vehicle design, the paper considers the effects of vehicular vibration on passenger comfort. The results of a series of questionnaire investigations to examine both the qualitative and quantitative effects of vibration are reported.
