TRACKED AIR CUSHION RESEARCH VEHICLE VEHICLE/GUIDEWAY DYNAMIC ANALYSIS

A primary test objective of the TACRV research program is the evaluation of dynamic performance. A basic measure of dynamic performance is ride quality, which can be defined in terms of acceleration on the body of the vehicle. The major objectives of the vehicle/guideway dynamic analyses were to provide information needed for the vehicle suspension and guideway design, to provide assurance of stable dynamic characteristics up to maximum speed, and to estimate ride quality.
