This paper reviews some relevant criteria for the evaluation of ride quality of agricultural tractors. Although there still exist many deficiences and shortcomings, ISO 2631 'Guide for the evaluation of human exposure to whole body vibration' may be the most pertinent criterion to the ride quality evaluation of tractors. The effects of ride vibrations on the human health and performance were also reviewed and summarized in general terms.

Vibrations on the floor in a car are transmitted to the foot, hip, and back from the seat. Human body recognizes these vibrations, but the sensitivity for each vibration is different. To evaluate these vibrations, RMS(root mean square) of accelerations, VDV(vibration does value) are commonly used. The ride comfort evaluation is usually carried out by experiments of real cars which are expensive. The purpose of this paper is to briefly review the status of several ride vibration standards and criteria having relevance to construction machinery vehicles and to suggest recommendations for the effective use of such criteria in vehicle / component development.

In this paper, running performance analyses of an articulated light rail vehicle are carried out using VAMPIRE software package. The stability analysis to determine the critical speed and the safety analysis such as derailment coefficients, lateral forces of wheels and reduction of wheel load are carried for the track conditions of straight, transition and curving range to the operating velocity of 40km/h. Also, ride quality is analyzed. As the results of analysis, the safety of light rail vehicle satisfied with the limit values and the ride quality for tare and full load condition was shown to the "not uncomfortable" level in ISO 2631-1 (1997) criteria.

Two criteria of good vehicle suspension performance are typically their ability to provide good road handling and increased passenger comfort. So far, The existing active vehicle suspension uses pneumatic and hydraulic actuators that enhance road handling and passenger comfort. But these kinds of actuators have nonlinear characteristic less than an electromagnetic motor. In this research, we are trying to examine the feasibility and the experiment of an active vehicle suspension using electromagnetic motor in order to enhance the ride quality because existing active vehicle suspension using active power sources such as compressors, hydraulic pumps has nonlinear characteristic. Active vehicle suspension using electromagnetic motor will have the ability to behave differently on smooth and rough roads. The desired response should be soft in order to enhance ride comfort, but when the road surface is too rough the suspension should stiffen up to avoid hitting its limits.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this research is to analyze the characteristics of panels that affect the evaluating results of riding quality and to evaluate the appropriateness of roughness management criteria based on ride comfort satisfaction. METHODS : In order to analyze the influence of panel characteristics of riding quality, 33 panels, consisting of civilians and experts, were selected. Also, considering the roughness distribution of the expressway, 35 sections with MRI ranging from 1.17 m/km to 4.65 m/km were selected. Each panel boarded a passenger car and evaluated the riding quality with grades from 0 to 10, and assessed whether it was satisfied or not. After removing outlier results using a box plot technique, 964 results were analyzed. An ANOVA was conducted to evaluate the effects of panel expertise, age, driving experience, vehicle ownership, and gender on the evaluation results. In addition, by using the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve, the MRI value, which can most accurately evaluate the satisfaction with riding quality, was derived. Then, the compatibility of MRI was evaluated using AUC as a criterion to assess whether the riding quality was satisfactory. RESULTS : Only the age of the panel participants were found to have an effect on the riding quality satisfaction. It was found that satisfaction with riding quality and MRI are strongly correlated. The satisfaction rate of roughness management criteria on new (MRI 1.6 m/km) and maintenance (MRI 3.0 m/km) expressways were 95% and 53%, respectively. As a result of evaluating the roughness management criteria by using the ROC curve, it was found that the accuracy of satisfaction was the highest at MRI 3.1-3.2 m/km. In addition, the AUC of the MRI was about 0.8, indicating that the MRI was an appropriate index for evaluating the riding quality satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the results, the distribution of the panels' age should be considered when panel rating is conducted. From the results of the ROC curve, MRI of 3.0 m/km, which is a criterion of roughness management on maintenance expressways, is considered as appropriate.

For improving the performance of maglev systems with a combined lift and guidance, it is suggested that the multivariable control systems and a secondary suspension should be added. The former is required to reject both track irregularities in vertical disturbances and wind gusts in lateral disturbances, and the latter to guarantee passengers against an unsatisfied criteria in ride quality. In this paper, bond graph model for the study of nonlinear dynamics of maglev systems with a combined lift and guidance is presented briefly. And, the secondary suspension is analyzed to understand the role of stiffness and damping factors in passive devices. Finally, LQG/LTR mulitivariable control systems are designed for the overall maglev systems with and without secondary suspension, and then the system performances in these two cases are evaluated.

동력 집중식 고속 철도차량의 승차감과 주행 안정성 향상 방안으로서 채택한 관절형 대차는 차체와 결합된 기존 독립대차와 달리 객차 사이를 갱웨이 링에 의하여 연결한다. 갱웨이 링은 열차 주행 동안 객차분리를 방지하면서 객차사이 승객 이동에 대한 절대적 안전을 확보되어야 함에도 불구하고, 아직까지 정량적인 내구성 시험기준 설정이 미비하다. 따라서 동력 집중식 고속 철도차량의 승차감과 승객 안전성을 향상을 위해서는 관절형 대차 갱웨이 링에 대한 내구성 평가의 시험기준에 대한 체계적인 연구가 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 고속 철도차량 관절형 대차의 갱웨이 링에 대한 안전성을 검토하기 위하여, 열차 운행조건에 준한 전후, 좌우 및 수직의 3축 모드로부터 7가지 혼합모드 하중조건을 도출하였다. 이 하중조건하에 유한요소해석결과로부터 각 부품들의 안전율은 최소 2.4 이상이다. 또한 변형률-피로수명설계관점에서 내구성 해석을 통하여 피로안전성을 평가하였다. 본 갱웨이 링에 대한 내구성 시험은 혼합모드 하중조건하에 총 4단계의 1,000만 사이클을 수행하였다. 내구성 시험 후에 침투 탐상 검사기법을 이용하여 각 부품의 결함유무를 검토하였다.

일반철도의 경우 운행속도가 다양한 여객열차와 화물열차가 혼용되기 때문에 차량이 곡선구간을 주행할 경우에는 승객의 승차감과 열차의 주행안전성을 확보하기 위하여 최소곡선반경을 설정하고 운행속도에 적합한 균형캔트, 부족캔트 및 초과캔트 설정범위를 만족하는 캔트를 설정하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 선로의 곡선반경, 캔트, 열차속도의 상관관계를 분석하여 열차종별 운행속도, 부족캔트와 초과캔트에 대한 기준을 만족하는 캔트범위를 분석하고 곡선반경에 대한 현재 설계기준의 적정성을 검토하여 최적의 최소곡선반경을 제시하고자 한다. 또한, 회귀분석을 통한 열차혼용시 운행 빈도에 따른 열차운행속도를 산정하여 고속열차 횟수비에 따른 균형캔트와 곡선반경별 설정캔트 범위를 산정하였다. 위의 결과를 바탕으로 최소곡선반경과 설정캔트의 적정범위를 제시함으로써 노반과 궤도설계에 반영하여 운영노선의 속도향상, 부족캔트에 의한 승차감저하 및 탈선위험을 방지하고, 초과캔트에 의한 하중편중을 최소화하여 곡선선로를 주행하는 열차의 주행안전성 확보와 선로유지관리 효율성을 향상하고자 하였다.
