Abstract

Abstract Expert ride evaluators participated in instrumented ride appraisals to better understand the means by which a person perceives ride quality. A new process was developed by which the factors affecting a driver’s perception of ride quality are detected. The process is based on varying the exponential power to which each factor is raised and examining the resulting change in the correlation with the subjective ride quality rating. This process was used to discover the most influential factors affecting ride quality. The most influential measurement location is the driver’s seat, the most influential time derivative is jerk, and the attribute that best describes the signal is the crest factor. The most striking result is that the ISO 2631 standard was not confirmed as the basis for ride quality predictions. The ride quality was best described by temporal attributes not by spectral attributes.
