Evaluation Method of Riding Comfort of Train by using HRV (Heart Rate Variability)

심전도를 이용한 열차 승차감 평가 방법 연구

The Purpose of this paper is to characteristics and analysis of ride comfort by using HRV. Although the riding comfort of trains has been managed by setting allowable accelerations of 3-axis motion in cabins, it is impossible for this approach to express the psychophysical relationship between various vibrational factors and riding comfort. in order to propose a function to evaluate the riding comfort of train on conventional railroad, an experiment was performed with the Korea Tilting Tran eXpress(TTX). As a result, by referring to some international standards on the method of evaluating ride comfort, a modified method was proposed to evaluate the lateral vibration in addition to the roll motion on carve transitions.
