Acceleration measurements inside vehicles: Passengers’ comfort mapping on railways
Monitoring the status of infrastructural networks along their service life is fundamental to ensure a safe and good service quality. Due to the length and extension of infrastructures, it is fundamental to develop effective and low cost approaches that can allow a continuous monitoring. In this paper, an assessment method based on the ride comfort evaluation inside vehicles according to ISO 2631 (i.e. frequency weighted acceleration) was developed and tested on an Italian railway.
