| Abstract: |
It’s generally accepted that there is good correlations between International Roughness Index (TRI) and body ride comfort. However, the study in this paper has discovered that the road displacement frequency power spectrum densities are not quite corresponding to the IRI. This paper establishes the body-vehicle vibration model of 3 degree of freedom as the model to calculates aw as evaluation parameter, and analyze systemically the relationship between IRI and human body ride comfort. It has been concluded that the IRI can’t reflect the differences of the road roughness and aw is a better parameter of the ride comfort. |
