차량 개발에 있어서 승차감(Ride)과 조향성능(Handling)의 평가는 차량의 동적 성능을 판단하는 주 인자인데, 차량업계에서는 이들 평가의 대부분을 주관적인 방법에 의존하고 있다. 최근에는 주관평가의 문제점을 해소하기 위해 차량의 동적 거동을 직접 측정함으로써 평가를 객관화하려는 시도가 많이 행해지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 숭차감 평가를 위한 정량화 지수를 개발하는데 있어서 저해 요인들을 분석하고 이에 대한 해결방안을 제안함으로써 측정된 물리량을 이용하여 주관평가 결과를 대체할 수 있는 방안을 정립하고자 한다. 우선 정적, 동적 승차감에 대한 모형을 통해서 승차감 정량화의 한계와 기존의 승차감 평가지수에 대해 고찰하고, 실제 차량 시험에서 얻어진 주관 평가치와 측정 가속도간의 상관관계 정립을 통해 관계식을 수립하는 방안에 대해 서술하고자 한다. 이 과정에서 주행시 간헐적으로 들어오는 충격성 입력을 처리하는 방법도 함께 논하였다.

This paper introduces the experimental results of ride values assessed for several passenger cars. The experiment was conducted at four vehicles on two roads for three persons by measuring the acceleration in the 12-axis of human. The results include the comparison of the ride values, such as the component ride values, overall ride value, and seat effective amplitude transmissibiity. It is proved that acceleration between 1 and 15Hz is the most significant in evaluating the ride quality. The contribution of the acceleration in each measurement axis is quantified from the component ride value. SEAT value shows a relatively low sensitivity for the road condition and human mass.

현재 농업용 장비들은 특성상 사용자에게 심한 양의 진동을 가하고 있다. 이는 사용자에게 나쁜 승차감을 주고 또한 장시간 운전시에는 건강에도 좋지 않은 영향을 줄 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 농업용 트랙터에서 사용자에게 전달되는 진동의 양을 측정하여 사용자가 느끼는 승차감을 정량적으로 측정하고 또한 건강에 미칠 수 있는 영향에 대해 평가해 보았다. 실험은 포장도로와 농로 그리고 논갈기 작업시에 인체에 전달되는 12축의 진동을 측정하였고, 또한 트랙터에 사용되는 서스펜션 시트의 특성을 보기 위해 시트 아래의 수직방향 진동을 측정하였다 실험에 참가한 피실험자는 모두 현재 트랙터를 사용하고 있는 4명을 대상으로 하였다 실험 결과 현재의 트랙터는 사용자에게 좋지 않은 승차감을 주고 있으며 건강에도 좋지 않은 환경을 제공하고 있음을 볼 수 있었다. 이러한 환경을 개선하기 위해서는 서스펜션 시트의 설계가 중요하게 되는데 보다 좋은 승차감을 제공하기 위해서는 인간이 민감하게 느끼고 또 트랙터에서 많은 양이 나타나는 주파수 대역의 진동을 저감하기 위한 설계가 필요하다고 할 수 있다.

An MR(Magneto-Rheological) fluids damper is designed and applied to vibration suppression of a 1/4 car model. The damping constant of MR damper changes according to input current which is controlled in a semi-active way. Several control algorithms are compared in simulations and experiments. The advantage of the proposed Frequency shaped LQ control is that passenger comfort is emphasized in the range of 4~8Hz and driving safety is emphasized around the resonance frequency of unsprung mass.

The aim of the study is to develope an objective index for the evaluation of vehicle ride comfort using the measured vehicle accelerations. The equation of the index was derived from the correlation analysis of subjective ratings on selected vehicles and the reduced measure of the vehicle motions. First whole procedure of from the measurements to the calculation of the perceptual vibration was developed. Test condition of both the vehicle speed and the road condition was selected so as to maximize the reliability of the index. This paper suggested the equation of the objective ride index on vibration harshness, of which expected error is about 0.3 in 10 scale of subjective rating at 95％ of the significance level.

Ride comfort of railway vehicles is affected by many factors, such as vibration, noise, smell, temperature, visual stimuli, humidity and a seat design. In general, vibration, which originates from vehicle motion, is considered as the primary concern. In evaluating the ride comfort, relationship between passenger's feeling and vibration characteristics is very important because human feeling is dependent on frequency spectrum of vibration. Therefore, the weighing functions in frequency domain are used to evaluate the ride comfort of railway vehicles. In the present paper, we have analyzed the characteristics of the frequency weighting curves defined in many standards and reviewed the effect resulting from their difference on the ride comfort.

In evaluating the ride comfort of railway vehicles, relationship between passenger's feeling and vibration characteristics is very important because human feeling is dependent on frequency spectrum of vibration. Therefore, the weighing curves in frequency domain are used to evaluate the ride comfort of railway vehicles. These curves have been defined in the Laplace transfer functions. It is necessary to convert the Laplace weighing function to the z weighing function in order to obtain the rms value in the time domain. In the present paper, we have applied Tustin's approximation to transform the Laplace weighing function to the z weighing and validated this method by reviewing the various cases.

Recently, the ride comfort problem becomes increasingly important because of today's needs for train speedup. The concept of ride comfort is equivocal. Generally, it is defined as the body vibration. The commercial high-speed train must be run the compound line in Korea which is composed of high-speed line and conventional line. In this paper, the ride comfort has been reviewed by the various experimental methods when the high-speed train is operated on both lines. The results show that the high-speed train has no problems from the viewpoint of the comfort ride during the operation on both lines.

The ride comfort is one of the important dynamic performances of railway vehicle and is affected by the various factors, such as vibration, sound, temperature, humidity, etc. In general, vibration is known to be a major effect of rode comfort. There are many studies on the evaluation methods of ride comfort in the railway vehicle vibration. Each of the evaluation methods suggested by Spelling and in the standards recommends a different evaluation method and guidance. So users must review whether they can apply it to their railway system or not. In this study, we have suggested the relationship between several evaluation methods using the statistical vibration model based on the experimental data.

Recently, the ride comfort problem becomes increasingly important because of today's needs for train speedup. The concept of ride comfort is equivocal. Generally, it is defined as the body vibration. The prototype of Korean high speed train (KHST), composed of two power cars, two motorized cars and three trailer cars, has been designed, fabricated and tested by the domestic researchers. In this paper, the ride comfort has been reviewed by the experimental method. The on-line test of KHST has been carried out up to 260km/h in the KTX line and proved that KHST has no problems from the viewpoint of the comfort ride at this speed. And the ride index lot KHST has been predicted at 300km/h and 350km/h by fitting curve.
