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.

Recently, the "ride comfort" problem becomes increasingly important because of today's needs for train speedup. The concept of term "ride comfort" is equivocal. Generally it is defined as the vehicle vibration. There are many studies on evaluation method of ride comfort for railway. But each of them recommends the different assessment method and the different guidance. In general, the evaluation methods defined in the standards, such as ISO 2631 and UIC 513R, and Ride Index suggested by Sperling, have been used in the railroad. But, only one or two methods of these can be evaluated by using the commercial ride comfort measuring system. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the new ride comfort measuring system for railway with multi-function. In this paper, the generalization of "ride comfort" and the design and verification of new ride comfort measuring system for railway with multi-function have been described and the application examples has been introduced.

PURPOSES : This research is a study on the changes in the road network of the surrounding area is installed according to the Kiss & Ride Zone. METHODS : Estimating the transportation mode of students by using the Metropolitan household Surveys(2006) and estimating the O/D by Kiss & Ride ratio with the estimated data, then being applied to a method of reducing the number of lanes for certain sections of the road which would be installed with Kiss & Ride Zone. RESULTS : The reason why it is different for delay resolving time and the affected roads as the Kiss & Ride percentage change, was the impact of the Kiss & Ride Zone's installation position. CONCLUSIONS : The purpose of the study was to analyze the impact of the road network in accordance with the installation of Kiss & Ride Zone by using speed and queue delay resolving time, and it is a need to develop a quantitative evaluation technique which was using various indicators in impact analysis according to the installation of the traffic safety facilities in the future.

This paper introduces experimental results of ride values assessed for domestic and overseas passenger cars. The experiment was executed about four vehicles, three Korean persons, and two roads by measuring human 12-axis. The results include the comparison of the component ride values, overall ride value, and seat effective amplitude transmissibility. The relative comparison of the ride values for different cars is shown in this paper, which may lead us to judge the current address of Korean ride quality-related technology.

The dynamic model was developed to analyze vibration acceleration and ride comfort during the operation of rubber-tired light rail vehicles. The ride comfort for standing passengers was analyzed in accordance with ISO 2631-1, UIC 513R, and CEN Draft prENV 12299 using this model. The result was applied to the detail design of Korean-standard, rubber-tired light rail vehicles, and the detail specifications related to ride comfort was determined based on this result. The ride comfort test was performed along the test track by using 2 car-train, and its result was compared with that of the ride comfort analysis, verifying the validity of the developed dynamic model. It was also verified whether or not the developed Korean-standardized, rubber-tired light rail vehicle met specified target specifications on ride comfort.

Analytical method to analyze the tolerance effect on the vehicle ride comfort is suggested in this paper. Ride comfort is one of the most important performance indices which decide the vehicle design quality. In general, the ride comfort is affected by the variations of parameters of a vehicle model. Therefore, the effects of the parameters on the ride comfort need to be evaluated statistically based on the whole-body vibration of the vehicle. In this paper, weighted RMS values of the acceleration PSD of a seat position are used to define the ride comfort. The equations of motion and the sensitivity equations are derived based on a 5-DOF vehicle model. By employing the sensitivity information of the acceleration at the seat position, the tolerance effect on the vehicle ride comfort could be effectively analyzed.

The ride quality of agricultural tractor seats is evaluated based on the vibration of the human bodies. Tractor ride vibration levels have been measured at the person-seat interface along 7 axes(3 translational axes at the feet, 3 translational axes on a seat surface and 1 axis at the seat back), under different operating conditions. Since one of the most important parameters for ride comfort is the level and duration of the root mean square acceleration experienced, the ride values, such as the seat effective amplitude transmissibility, the component ride value, and the overall ride value based on acceleration root mean square are evaluated for a conventional tractor using frequency weighting functions and axis multiplying factors. The ride indices are also studied considering to the variation of vehicle speed and road profile.

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.

KTX (Korea Train eXpress) is launched as the $5^{th}$ develop a ride-comfort model for high-speed rail pasengers using structural equation model (SEM). Both qualitative and quantitative factors affecting ride-comfort were investigated, and employed to construct a comprehensive ride-comfort model. The SEM model was built with twenty measurement variables and seven latent variables for the evaluation of ride-comfort of high-speed train passenger. A total of six hundreds thirty two subjects participated in the evaluation using face-to-face survey method. As a result, the proposed SEM model model fitnes (GFI=0.93). According to the results, overall ride-comfort was significantly affected by the seat-, fatigue-, interior-related, and customer satisfaction variables such as fare. Among the engineering design variables of high-speed train, seat-related variables were identified as critical factors of the ride-comfort. It is expected that the result of this study could be useful for the enhancement of ride comfort in next generation KTX.
