Ride comfort analysis
Railway vehicles are exposed to vibrations that affect ride comfort of passengers and vehicle drivers. Essential influencing factors for the convenience of the passengers are suspension, bogie and the wheels condition etc.
To identify and evaluate ride comfort in railway vehicles, national and international standards and criteria have been developed. These standards are ISO 2631-1, ISO 2631-4, VDI 2057 and Sperlings´s Wz-value method. The Ride Indexer 2010 offers a complete solution that combines all of these standards.
