SYMPOSIUM ON VEHICLE RIDE QUALITY

A review of ride-quality technology in the United States is given in the thirteen papers presented at the symposium. Although emphasis is directed toward criteria for passenger air travel, information on ground and water modes of transportation is also presented. The papers include an overview of the present state of knowledge, results of various recent studies involving people, vehicles, and simulators, discussion of mechanisms underlying motion discomfort, and description of ongoing activities.
