Abstract

An experiment was conducted investigating the effects of extraneous or deprived sensory input on ratings of ride quality. Either the visual or auditory mode was employed on rough, medium or smooth road surfaces. The results indicate that ratings under the deprived sensory conditions were more accurate, with smooth surfaces rated smoother and rough surfaces rated rougher than the control. Alternatively, ratings in the extraneous sensory input conditions were less accurate than the control and ratings of ride qualities were uniformly rougher than the control across the range of road surfaces. Alternate explanations were considered.(a) /TRRL/
