ON USING THE ISO STANDARD TO EVALUATE THE RIDE QUALITY OF BROAD-BAND VIBRATION SPECTRA IN TRANSPORTATION VEHICLES

Comparisons are made between the ISO standard, the Urban Tracked Air Cushion Vehicle (UTACV) specification, and measured vibrations at the floorboard and seat of an automobile over smooth and rough roads. The data indicate that the ISO standard is less restrictive than the UTACV specification, and generally not restrictive enough to indicate the roughness of an automobile ride on a rough country road.
