SIMPLIFIED RIDE INDEX MEASUREMENT

This portable instrument will provide a continuous meter indication of the ride index of the vehicle in which it is placed. The meter uses a variable inductance accelerometer as an acceleration element. The meter is placed on the floor of the vehicle and the plane of measurement selected, either vertical or horizontal. The ride quality is shown directly on the meter scale as a continuous reading.
