BEITRAG ZUR FESTLEGUNG VON KOMFORTKRITERIEN FUER INSASSEN VON SCHNELLBAHNSYSTEMEN

The possibility of determining a common comfort limit for passengers traveling on rapid transit systems was investigated. The impairment of comfort by mechanical vibrations is discussed for low frequencies and the supine, sitting, and standing position. The effects of linear acceleration on comfort are reviewed.
