Abstract

Test Results of noise, ride comfort and vibration tests are investigated for three kinds of light rail transit vehicles which have passed the performance test and the test criteria has been satisfied. Noise level of light rail transit vehicles was 64~69dB(A) at stop and 74~75dB(A) when operated at full speed. The ride comfort index according to UIC 513R was 2.02 to 2.45. Vibration level of rubber tired light rail transit vehicle was from 'normal' to 'good' and that of iron wheel light rail transit vehicle was 'good' to 'excellent'. These data are the results for three kinds of light rail transit vehicles and more data can be accumulated after further performance test. These data can be used for a reference for the design of light rail transit vehicles.
