Prediction of Ride Comfort of High-Speed Trains Based on Train Seat–Human Body Coupled Dynamics Model
Source abstract
Abstract
A train seat–human body coupled dynamics model was established to predict the ride comfort of high-speed trains. The train and track and the seat and human body were both coupled in the model. An on-site vibration experiment in a high-speed train was carried out to calibrate each part of the train seat–human body coupled dynamics model. Based on the evaluation method proposed by BS EN 12299:2009, the distribution of ride comfort in the carriage and the effect of seat cushion stiffness and damping on ride comfort were analyzed systematically. The results showed that the seats in the middle of the carriage had the best comfort performance, while those near the side wall and close to the position where the suspension force of the second series was acting were less comfortable. The seat cushion stiffness and damping had great effect on ride comfort.
