EVALUATION AND MEASUREMENT OF RIDE QUALITY: STATE-OF-THE-ART REPORT. PREFACE

The purpose of this workshop on ride quality was to summarize the technical status of ride quality evaluation as it currently exists in industrial and academic settings both in the United States and abroad. This summary provides guidance for individuals and organizations involved in the design, acquisition, or evaluation of transportation systems. The papers in this Record describe ride quality measurement and evaluation methodologies for fixed-guideway and off-road systems, marine systems, and aircraft. They provide the rationale on which these methodologies have been based and discuss problem areas where further research will be required before definitive ride quality standards can be set.
